Method

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, etc. will be initialized.
Note:
  • A message with the name of a new standard will be displayed on the Command line.
  • If select a template without a defined mechanical standard, an error message is displayed in the Command line: You did not choose a mechanical 2D template.
  • If the mcad2d functionality is not available, an error message will be displayed in the Command line.
