About Standards


  • You can add an unlimited number of customized standards using Standard files that you will create and/or, if needed, modify. Once created, this standard will appear in the New Drawing dialog box. For more details on standards, see the Administration user task. Care that any user-defined standard is based on one of the four international standards (ANSI, ISO,ASME or JIS) as far as basic parameters are concerned.
  • You can add an unlimited number of customized sheet styles using Standard files, see Sheet Styles.
