Drawing Information Table

Used to add drawing information which is used to fill the title cell of a 2D drawing associated with the selected parts.

Accessed from:
  • Ribbon: Steel > Home > Drawing Production > Annotation > Drawing Information Table
Note: The information typed in this dialog can then be used to populate the 2D drawing title cell in the Drawing Templates dialog.

Always enter the order drawing number and the modification index, if present, since this information is evaluated during the 2D detailing process. You can later query the Detail Centre to find out, which drawing contains the parts and will receive the file path as well as the probably more useful drawing number.

Here, you select a cell using the SELECT button for entering data in its cell tags via the entry fields, provided you have assigned such entry fields to the variables of the cell tags.

When the drawing border for the 2D workshop drawing has been entered as cell using the (Drawing Borders) tool, you can select the cell of the drawing borders. The entries may either be taken over into the title cell (export), or the entries can be taken from the title cell into the dialog (import).
