So I'm using DriveWorksXpress to automate my model and print creation. I am terrible with macros, so I am here for some help / guidance.
The company I work for manufactures PTFE Rotary lip seals, and we make seals of all different sizes.
So if I make a seal that is Ø2.000", it automatically creates the model, and drawing based off of the model it made.
That works great.
The only problem is, now if I design a seal that is Ø8.000", the scale is different and way out of proportion to the automated drawing.
I'm looking for a way to have these section views for each component automatically scaled into the created drawings, so I don't have to manually re-scale each view and place it accordingly.
Any help / guidance on this task would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Okay, I've been playing with Driveworks a little. So, it looks like when you create the drawing, it's based off of a drawing template. So, the views should all have the same name, and so should the dimensions. This is incredibly helpful.
So, you can set up some logic in the macro to check say "RD2@Drawing View2" is between some values then you can scale the view accordingly.
