Parameter is not retrieved in a drawing in Creo Parametric althogh it retrrive while using format option but not when i use template option . can you please help
Sir, i would like to add a note in my format that All dimensions are in mm/Inch depending upon the model. I checked for that system parameter and its not there. Is there any way to add the parameters so that my drw automatically detects whether its in inch or mm
Very informative tutorial, thank you for the many tips and details. Is there another tutorial that describes how to save the newly-created drawing format so it can be used with each new drawing created? Is it saved as a .FRM or other Creo file format? Thank you.
A format is a .frm file. A format doesn't change its file extension when it's saved. It's always a .frm file. A drawing can be created with a default template, but not with a default format. So you create a template (which is a .drw file) using that format. Then you use the configuration option template_drawing to point to that .drw file.
Hello, thank you for this great topic ! some questions: is it important if i use the latest subversion of 2.0, (M250) or for better compatibility i must use the 2.0 F000 ? On the other hand, what if i want my second created sheet having a diferent (smaller) format than the first ?
Because creating geometry from scratch is really boring and you can find tons of DXFs and DWGs of existing formats, frames, or borders with a simple Google search. In 2022 no one needs to create format geometry from scratch. But once again, if you’re unhappy with my free content, I encourage you to make better content.
@@CADPLMGuy ua-cam.com/video/7vDxl3BIRB4/v-deo.html (Sorry for my example with another CAD, but what I mean is the table with the number of revision and the triangle (or other geometric symbol) that you can put on the drawing with the number of the review inside.
I see where that is authorized in ANSI Y14.35, but I've never used them - and I've worked at Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Amazon, and Blue Origin, not to mention consulting at dozens of companies. I would just use a custom symbol with variable text, and I do have a video on that. I'm used to revision tables that call out the Change Notice. I prefer Windchill to be the source of truth for information like that, since a lot of changes can't be tied to a specific drawing detail.
Also, end users should not be placing revision tables on drawings. You either use them or you don't, and if you do, they should be in the format. But the table is heavily dependent on each company's method for revision tables. Do you list every revision or just the latest? (Wait until you get to rev J or K or M and table takes up half of sheet 1.) Do you use Windchill or not? Do you populate the table with text, model parameters, or Windchill parameters? What information do you report? If you describe the changes, how much detail do you put in? It's such a headache at my last company I advocated not following the ANSI standard and just listing the revision letter and having a statement to the effect "See Windchill for all other information."

You should watch my video on drawing templates.
I have watched a few of them, I didn't see where it says the format to save in once the new format has been created. No matter. Thanks.
A format is a .frm file. A format doesn't change its file extension when it's saved. It's always a .frm file.

nice information..lot of learning from you..Keep it up
To be honest and open, I might not. I might stop making videos.

You don’t get better compatibility from an older build code.
Thank you so much sir!
Good video for learning , thank you sir !!
Thanks, Sathish!
why is the video called creating a NEW drawing format and all youve done is import one...

@@CADPLMGuy good to know! maybe you could make a video outlining that and pointing towards some of those resources!
Maybe you can make that video. Be the change you want to see.
@@CADPLMGuy 🤗
Very good video. Can you do a video where you explain how to create a revision table with revision symbol? Thanks.
What’s a revision symbol?
