Solid Attributes, Title Blocks Definition

Before you will use the attributes, BOM and title blocks permanently, you should consider their proper configuration and change the settings according to your customs. For more information about settings, see BOM, Attributes and Title Blocks Settings.


Title Block Definition



Flash Example

Definition of a title block




First, create a title block in 2D as plain 2D objects. In this example, the title block is defined from such an existing drawing.


Title block name definition


Title block insertion point definition


After the insertion point is defined, select objects of the title block.


Insertion point relative to the selected corner of 2D area


Selected 2D objects are saved into the defined file. Then the position of the title blocks insertion point relative to 2D area is defined. The title block is ready for use.


Definition of Attributes

Definition of a new attribute




In this example, a new attribute "dwg. no." is created. The attribute type is defined as "General" type, value is "Text" value, the attribute is configured to be printed into formatted text and to be displayed in the title block. The attribute will be required for all manufactured parts.

Attributes Groups

Definition of a new attribute and attributes group




The attribute group allows you to define different attributes for different objects. If the attribute group is defined for an object, extra attributes from this group are demanded.

Definition of solid attributes




This example shows you how to define solid attributes of various types.


Definition of the attribute "dwg. no."

Attribute "dwg. no." was configured as "Required for Manufactured Parts". If such an attribute is missing, the warning sign is displayed in the first column of the attributes list. This attribute is the attribute of the type "General", value is text.


Definition of attribute "weight"

The attribute "weight" was configured as of the type "Mass". During its definition, you can use volume and mass calculation from 3D module. Select the result from the list of results calculated for various units (like kg, lb ...)


Definition of the attribute "material"

You can copy value of the attribute "material" from another solid (as in this example) or you can select from previously used materials.


Definition of the attribute "scale" (scale of 2D area)

The attribute "scale" was configured to obtain value from the corresponding file - from its 2D part drawing scale.


Definition of the attribute "date"


Extra Solid Attributes from Attribute Groups



Flash Example

Definition of extra solid attributes from attribute groups




In this example, the attribute group "Sheet metal" is assigned to the solid the attributes are defined for. Then the extra attribute "thickness" is required.


Definition of the attribute "thickness"

The attribute thickness was configured to allow sheet metal thickness measurement.
