Bulk Drawing in IRONCAD helps you to quickly create many drawings with just a few clicks. The tool uses drawing templates that you have customized (using e.g. Front View Definition) for Bulk Drawing and then adds views, dimensions, bill of materials and others automatically. As mentioned, you need to customize your drawing templates to get it just the way you want it. See the movie below how to build your drawing templates for Bulk Drawing.
CAXA Draft also offers this feature, but the process for using it is slightly different.
You will first need to create a drawing template in CAXA and you can do this in the following way: https://www.solidmakarna.se/hjalpcenter/skapa-din-egen-ritningsmall-i-caxa-. draft
Once you have made your drawing template, you need to add a view from a part to the drawing, a tip is to use the same blocks that we use when making templates for bulk drawings in the ICD environment.
Make sure the file is now saved then go to:
Now select your drawing template in the list, then press Ok:
Now create a view of the model by going to 3D Interface followed by Standard View:
Now choose which views you want, if you have Front View Definition on your part you enter it here(see the first movie in the post for more info) then press OK:
Now place your views on the drawing. When the views are placed, press Save As....
Name and place the file on the Desktop (Windows does not always allow saving directly under C:\Program so we have to go via the desktop or other path where we have write rights).
Go to the desktop and copy the file, place it in a new folder named Bulk(not required but easier to distinguish the templates) then on this path:
C:\Program Files\IronCAD\**VERSION**\bin\CAXADraft\Template\en-US\**UNDERMAPP**
Now we are finally ready to start using Bulk Drawing Creation for CAXA Draft. Watch this movie:
