Introduction - The Drawing Sheet Level

The Drawing Sheet Level contains functions that relate to creating a drawing sheet. In VX, a Drawing Packet is a collection of one or more drawing sheets. A drawing sheet is where the actual geometry is located. The Drawing Sheet Level is activated in the following ways.

The directory paths containing all parts referenced in assemblies, drawing sheets and CAM process plans must be listed in the VX Search Path Form displayed by selecting File > Search Path... . These directory paths are stored in the file named "vxpaths". When "vxpaths" is edited by the VX Search Path Form, a copy of "vxpaths" is placed in the your runtime directory (i.e., your User Directory).

Here are some of the things you can do at the Drawing Sheet Level:

Create layoutsfrom VX parts and assemblies.
Create a Bill of Materials (BOM) table with balloon call outs.
Create/edit drawing sheet geometry.
Add dimensionsand text that conform to ANSI, ISO, DIN, or JIS standards.
Add hatch patterns.
Cut, copy, paste, move, rotate, mirror, scale, and stretch geometry.
Create and insert symbols.
Create and edit groups.
Create and edit layers.
Freeze and thaw geometry.
Inquire geometry information.
