adding / removing format

[jmoth79]

Could someone please advise as to how to add and remove a drawing format (title block) after the drawing file has been created??





Thanks very much

RMB in the drawing & pick Page Setup.

You can replace a drawing format going to the Page Setup Menu.

File -> Page Setup

The Page Setup menu appears. Click where the name of your drawing format is displayed and the field will turn into a combo-box. Use the combo-box to select your format. Re-select the same format if you are updating it. Select "Browse..." at the bottom to find your format on your filesystem.

...OR, double click the FORMAT: [FORMAT_SIZE] on the bottom of the window, where scale, format, and so on are shown in semi transparent white and Page Setup window will appear. Then follow the above procedure (from fiebigc).

Yes, double-clicking became magic in WF.


You can also change drawing model, scale and simp rep on the drawingby double clicking notes on the bottom of the drawing window.

Hi all,

I've created a format and applied it to my template.
Saved my template in the templates directory.
When I create a template based drawing, the format loads perfect.
However if I save, exit and then open the drawing again the format is gone and I have to re-apply it to every single sheet.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Pro/E is not finding your formats. You need to set pro_format_dir to your format location.

Thanks dr_gallup.
It's working fine now.

Have a nice weekend!
