A workbench related to templates, symbols, and auxiliary views for TechDraw drawings.
Now 3 kinds of tools are available, tools to create templates and pages, and a tool to create views.
Two tools to create a template and insert it into the active dokument.
- One resembles the example from the TechDraw TemplateGenerator tutorial page.
- The other is a bit overloaded but shows how templates could be created and inserted automatically
- Launch either the New Template Wiki, or the New Template Multi tool.
- Adjust the parameters in the task panel.
- OK finishes the selected tool, and you should find a new page with an embedded template in your document.
This tool creates a secondary (auxiliary) view from 1 edge or 2 selected vertices of one existing view. It is based on the Macro_TechDraw_AuxiliaryView.
- Select 1 edge (2 end vertices) or 2 individual vertices to define the view direction.
- Launch the Auxiliary View tool.
- An auxiliary view is created, its view direction is perpendicular to the connecting line between the two selected vertices by default.
- Optionally reverse the view direction in the task panel.
- Optionally align the view direction with the connecting line in the task panel.
- Click Ok to finish.
This tool creates feature frames for GD&T purposes. Line parameters match with a symbol height of 10 mm.
- Select 1 view.
- Launch the Tolerance Frame tool.
- Adjust the parameters in the task panel.
- Select a geometric tolerance for a tolerance frame, or enter a single (upper case) letter for a datum frame.
- Edit the size of the tolerance zone.
- Edit the datum entries.
- Click Ok to finish.
The Templater WB can be installed via the Addon Manager (in the Tools menu)
