Vous voulez gagner du temps et garder vos mises en plan CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE au top ? La création de votre propre modèle est la solution
Step 1: create custom attributes (optional)
If you haven't already, you can create custom attributes (properties) to be used in your designs. This can include Project Number, Supplier name, Finish type...
It's all explained in this article.
Step 2 : creating the template
1. Create a drawing containing a part or assembly
2. Insert a new detail sheet
3. Create a table using the "Table Template" command from the "Template" tab
4. Click a cell of the table and the "Link Template" dialog box will appear
5. Browse to find the required attribute (cf HELP below) and click insert
6. Repeat to create your desired table template containing all attributes required
HELP: Finding all the attributes you want to add can be (very) difficult. Contact us if you can't find what you're looking for!
Here are some examples to help you:
Title, Revision, Maturity, Owner... : Package = Core Model ; Name = PLMCoreReference
Material:
Last modification date of drawing: Package = Drafting ; Name = Drawing
Sheet Size: Package = Drawing & Layout ; Name = Sheet
Scale view Package: Package = Drawing & Layout ; Name= Sheet
EIN (Enterprise Item Number): Package = Enterprise Reference ; Name = Enterprise Information
Custom properties : Package = OtbIRPCConfiguration ; Name = XP_VPMReference_Ext
Sheet page number: Right click on table cell> Insert> Insert Attribute link> Sheet Number
Released at ; Released by ; Approved by: these are not available in CATIA, currently.
Inserting an image: Right click on table cell> Insert> Insert picture
7. IMPORTANT: rename this table
You have to name it with the prefix "TitleBlock_" for the table to be recognized as a template. I know, it's weird.
8. Save the drawing
Optional: freeze or release the drawing so no one can modify your template.
Step 3 : test your template
1. Create any new drawing containing a part or assembly
2. Select "View Layout" command and select "Dress-up DS 1".
In "Title Block" section, select the magnifying glass icon to browse for your template.
3. Click "instantiate" and ok to apply the template
4. Update the values
Unfortunately, the values are not updated instantly. You must "route" the link so it displays the correct values. I know, it's a shame, but it's easy.
Right-Click and choose "Route Link Template" command.
Step 4: Enjoy?
It's already saved on 3DEXPERIENCE so your colleagues can now access it too.
