PlantDrafter Setup
Before creating a drawing, you need a model drawing seed file, a sheet file, and a symbol library. These files must have matching master and sub-units. Any discrepancy will result in incorrect drawings. Additionally, you need a template file that stores the drawing format data – this file is created and updated whenever you save the template in the PlantDrafter Template Editor.
Bentley Systems provides a basic set of matching files:
| Path | Imperial | Metric | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| <project>\<msce>\ | Feet-inches-seed.dgn | Meter-mm-seed.dgn | drawing seed file |
| <project>\<msce>\ | esheet.sht | a0sheet.sht | sheet file |
| <project>\<msce>\symbols | imp_dwg.cdx | met_dwg.cdx | symbols |
| <project>\<msce>\symbols | imp_dwg.cel | met_dwg.cel | |
| <project>\dwgtemplate\plotplan | imp_E_iso.xml | metric_a0_iso.xml | drawing templates |
| <project>\dwgtemplate\plotplan | imp_E_plan.xml | metric_a0_plan.xml | |
| <project>\dwgtemplate\plotplan | imp_E_transpo.xml | metric_a0_transpo.xml |
