Drawing Limit Properties

Defines the general drawing and modeling properties such as the drawing limits.

Note: The drawing limits described below are temporary, as F5 always recalculates the drawing limits and sets them in such a way that all elements fit within the limits.

Note: Drawing sheets are usually of the form (= Automatically updated sheet) that they set the limits around themselves when you add a form.

The drawing limits can also be hidden. Drawing Limits

Tab: Drawing Limits

Size: Sets the drawing limits in the drawing window. The limits will be indicated by a continuous line in the drawing window. When you create a drawing of the model, the program will automatically set the drawing limits so that the projections of the model are inside the limits.; You can redefine the size of the drawing area by entering new values in the fields and confirming the values.
Select Box: You can set the drawing area by clicking the button. Click the drawing limits in the drawing window by selecting two corner points: the lower left corner and upper right corner.
Predefined Drawing Limits: Defines the drawing area in accordance with the sheet size. Select the appropriate sheet size in the menu and click the Locate Drawing Limits button.
Scale: Sets a new scale for a drawing. The scale affects all the drawing elements, including texts and lines if the properties text height and line distance have been defined as scalable. The element will scale according to the scale.; When a new drawing is created of a model, the scale for a drawing is selected for the first time. You can change the scale by selecting a new scale in the Scale field, and confirm the data. If you change the scale when there already is a drawing sheet in the drawing, the drawing sheet will also be scaled. If there is no drawing sheet, the drawing limits are calculated using a 10% margin.
Locate Drawing Limits: Define the location of the sheet by clicking the Locate Drawing Limits button. Select the location of the drawing limits in the drawing window.
Set 0.5 mm Oversize: Automatically sets the drawing limits in the drawing. The program will set the limits so that all the elements of the drawing are inside the drawing limits, and add a 0.5 mm margin.
Set 10% Oversize: Automatically sets the drawing limits in the drawing. The program will set the limits so that all the elements of the drawing are inside the drawing limits, and add a 10% margin.
