Hi.


I am now trying to make my first technical dokumentationin pro/e ofcreated asembly.


I have a couple of questions:


If i open for example standard A4 template i know how to put in different views and i know how to manipulate them how they should be displayed. I know how i can align them...


But i dont't know how to:


-Create dimensions


-Put in custom A4template with head on botom right to put information in it. I would like to create a custom template with head for information containing just date and name and nothing else.


How do i do that two things?


Thanks for answers.

Use Show/Erase tool to introduce dimensions made in model.

Use Create standard dim or Insert > Dimension > to create dims in drawing

to create a template New > Format

make a table and fill it with parameters

Set path to this templates in Tools > Options(finaly it will be written in config.pro)
 
Ok it works fine but i have another question regarding dimensions in drawing.


Where do i set defoult dimnsion style for all dimensions in Drawing? I know how to set individual dimension stylebut how do i change global setting for all dimensions in Drawing?
 
Ok i found the solutuion under File->Properties. There aare all global drawing settings.


A bit strange where they are but ok. Now i know.
