Creating a custom drawing form in IRONCAD is an effective way to standardize and streamline your 2D drawings. By building your own drawing template, you can ensure consistency across all your drawings and save time on future projects.

‍

What is a drawing form?

A drawing form is the background template used in all 2D drawings. It contains information such as company logo, drawing header, measurement system, scales and other standardized elements. By creating your own form, you can customize these elements according to your specific needs and requirements.

‍

Steps to create a drawing form in IRONCAD

Create a new drawing: Start by creating a new 2D drawing or use our templates in IRONCAD.
Edit the drawing header: Edit the drawing header (or create your own) where you can fill in information such as drawing number, date and revision history.
Insert company logo: Add your company logo to give the drawing a professional look.
Customize settings: Change your settings to the way you want it most to save time in future drawings.
Save as template: Once you are happy with your drawing form, save it as a template so you can use it in future projects.

‍

Advantages of a separate drawing form

Standardization: Ensures that all drawings follow the same format and contain the same information.
Time saving: You don't have to manually add the same information every time you create a new drawing.
Professional impression: A uniform and well-designed drawing form gives a professional impression to your drawings.
