Solution

The CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE Drafting Template Automation solution integrates seamlessly with CATIA to automate the drafting process. It starts with a model where various properties are defined as part number, revision, description, weight, etc. The solution then automates the creation of drawings, including the implementation of dynamic title blocks. 

Users can select different title block styles and sizes, with properties like drawing number, revision, and material automatically populated. Crucially, it supports the dynamic update of properties directly from the model, ensuring consistency and accuracy across documents.

Features

• Automated Title Block Creation: Generates title blocks automatically, filling in details like title, drawing number, page size, and material based on the model data.
• Dynamic Property Updates: Automatically updates drawing properties when changes are made to the model, ensuring all documents remain current.
• User Information Integration: Automatically sets fields such as ‘Drawn by’, ‘Checked by’, and ‘Approved by’ with the logged-in user’s details and the current date.
• Supports Dynamic Page Sizes: Adjusts the page size based on user selection to accommodate various drawing scales and complexities.
• Revision Block Management: Includes tools to manually or automatically update revision block properties, maintaining the integrity of document revisions.

Benefits

• Saves Engineering Time: Reduces the manual effort involved in creating and updating drafting documents, freeing up engineers to focus on design and innovation.
• Reduces Errors: Minimizes the potential for human error by automating data entry and updates, leading to more accurate engineering documents.
• Enhances Documentation Consistency: Ensures that all drawings reflect the most current model properties and comply with standardized formatting, improving overall document quality and compliance.
