Customizing Sheet Formats
You can customize drawing
sheet formats to match your company’s standard format. The
sheet formats provided with the SolidWorks software do not conform to
any standard. Drawing templates contain notes that link to properties.
These properties extract information from the part, assembly, or drawing.
System
properties are automatically available when you insert a note.
You enter custom properties on the Summary Information
- Custom tab for drawing, part, or assembly documents as appropriate.
If you create custom sheet formats,
avoid overwriting the standard sheet formats that are included with the
software. When you install a SolidWorks service pack, the standard formats
are overwritten including your customized formats. Store custom sheet
formats in a separate directory instead.
