You saved me with this, I am working on a CAD assembly for a school project and it has 60+ parts. One of the requirements is that we include a zip file with individual ANSI 3rd angle drawings for every single part... I ran out of time to make them all from scratch and with this knowledge I am currently automating the drawing process!!!

Thank you so much, you have saved me a bunch of time and effort of making one and another time a tedious task.

[@raymondlaliman5873]

nice very helpful

[@hassiaschbi]

what about BOM or Cut List Tables to the referenced design?

[@ckcnc]

Thank Sir 👍👍👍

[@wyindepi8870]

Hellow! What about details, that have random scale for the template sheet?

[@MAMotinSobujsobuj23]

Thanks

[@wyindepi8870]

Hellow! What about sheet metal flat patterns? They are not on the menu

[@lazharboujlida5828]

thankyou for your help
sorry how we can merge all sheets to one file

[@ovgninjavangraan7782]

Awesome help thank you. Is it possible or a why to get it to add the drawings to a new sheet instead of a new drawing? So part 1 sheet 1 then part 2 sheet 2 instead of generating a new drawing itself?

[@Anonymous-ss4cv]

Is that bulk conversion possible in Catia as well?

[@swapnilmahajan4865]

As few parts can be of bigger dimensions. And few might be small. How to change scale automatically?

[@itolond]

Can you specify flat pattern as a pre-defined (for sheet metal parts)

[@deepshukla1833]

Yes in SW 2022

[@Tumbler054]

Not working form me even in sw 2023

[@sandeepanavalikar1693]

[@heaydin]

Very helpful whne you have 4 bolts. This really annoys me when you have not even complex assemblies. You gotta do nearly everything manually
