Add a Notes Page / Help Page to a Spare Parts Book

Spare Parts Book

Create the Notes page or the Help page for a spare parts book as a Vertex drawing.

It can be 1 or 2 help pages in the spare parts book. You can also leave out the page from the book.

Create a page as follows:

  1. Drawing. Create a drawing in the main assembly by selecting the context-sensitive function Drawings.
  2. Drawing limits. Instead of using a sheet, you can define drawing limits for the drawing.
    • Select the context-sensitive function Properties and then select the Drawing Limits tab in the dialog box.
    • Select the A4 Portrait sheet in the Predefined Drawing Limits field.
    • Click OK.

  3. Text. If necessary, you can add text to the page with the functions in the Texts Vertex menu.

    If you wish to have the texts in several languages, add the texts on certain layers.

  4. Set all layers of the drawing as visible with the Layers> All Layers function.

  5. Save the drawing in the archive with the File> Save function.

    • Fill in the Class field as follows:
      • Select Other Documents from the Main Group menu.
      • Select Spare Parts Book.
      • Select SP Notes as the class. This defines the drawing as a Notes page which will be collected in the spare parts book.
