AMSETUPDWG command
Changes the current standard of a mechanical 2D drawing or set up a mechanical 2D template for a non-mechanical drawing.
Methods
- There are two use cases for opening a drawing that contains mechanical entities:
-
- When creating a new drawing that will contain mechanical
entities:
- Set the LOADMECHANICAL2D system variable to ON (1).
- Start a new drawing using a Mechanical2d template.
- When opening a drawing that contains mechanical
entities
- Set the LOADMECHANICAL2D system variable to ON (1).
- Open an existent ACM drawing.
- When creating a new drawing that will contain mechanical
entities:
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:
- 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.
- 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.
