Edit default drawing template

I'm having difficulty editing the default drawing template to have the title block I want.

Is there a way to import and existing title block dxf/dwg?

Is the a way to save my edits to the default template?

Re: Edit default drawing template

Alright here's my work around in case anyone wants to use it.

I made all of my edits to the titlebar and saved it as a bundle. Now I can load my parts from that default file and have my titleblock.

It's the old autoCAD way. If anyone has abetter way please let me know.

Cheers,

Re: Edit default drawing template

The PE version does not have the capability to save a current drawing frame via UI.

But you can pick up the following:

Modify the (best matching) current frame (here on sheet '1') to fit yur needs, then execute in the command line
Code:
(oli:sd-execute-annotator-command :cmd "Docu_store_frame '1' 'd:/irknwo/format_Ax' '' " )
Now you have a file on disk which represent your drawing frame.

How to get this one in the UI, when creating a drawing / a new sheet now?

This is done in a file named am_customize.
YOUR personal customization files are located (for PE3.0) in a dir like:
C:\Documents and Settings\jeremyjjbrown\ApplicationData\CoCreate\Modeling PE\30.00\ANNOTATION\am_customize

if ... ANNOTATION\am_customize does not exist, create it. Make sure using a real asccii editor.

Add to that file:
Code:
(docu-register-frame :ui-name "Company-Ax" :file "d:/irknwo/format_Ax")
Restart Annotation / PE. Then you'll find your drawing name as 'Company-Ax' in the drop down list for selecting a frame.

-------------------
It's also possible to work with non-absolute path names for the location of the frame file.. but let's get it running first with the most simple approach.
