AMSETUPDWG command

Changes the current standard of a mechanical 2D drawing or set up a mechanical 2D template for a non-mechanical drawing.

BricsCAD Mechanical

Methods

There are two use cases for opening a drawing that contains mechanical entities:
  1. When creating a new drawing that will contain mechanical entities:
    1. Set the LOADMECHANICAL2D system variable to ON (1).
    2. Start a new drawing using a Mechanical2d template.
  2. When opening a drawing that contains mechanical entities
    1. Set the LOADMECHANICAL2D system variable to ON (1).
    2. Open an existent ACM drawing.
Note: After opening a drawing that contains mechanical entities, filling other drawings with mechanical-related data will be done on-demand. It will be possible when a user copies the mechanical-related entities to the non-mechanical drawing. In the case of copying entities that are not related to the mechanical data, a non-mechanical drawing will not be filled with mechanical data.
After opening a drawing which contains mechanical entities there are two use cases:
  1. The standard of the current mechanical drawing can be changed by selecting another .dwt mechanical2D template file from the Choose one of the Mechanical 2D template file dialog box.
  2. The standard of a non-mechanical drawing can be changed with a standard of a mechanical drawing, by selecting a .dwt mechanical2D template file from the Choose one of the Mechanical 2D template file dialog box. The mechanical-related data, like dictionaries, style tables... will be initialized.
Note: A message with the name of a new standard will be displayed on the command bar.
Note: If select a template without a defined mechanical standard, an error message is displayed in the command bar, You did not choose a mechanical 2D template.
Note: If the mcad2d functionality is not available, an error message will be displayed in the command bar.
