Project: HiCAD 2-D

Drawing Frame and Title Block

Insert drawing frame

Drawing > Insert Part > Drawing frames 

This function inserts a drawing frame with title block as a main part into the active drawing.

1. When you call the function, the selection menu for DIN frames will be displayed.

If no Sheet area (Views ICN tab) is active when you call the function, you will be asked whether HiCAD should switch to the first Sheet area for insertion of the drawing frame.

2. Select a DIN frame and decide whether you now want to complete the title block.
3. Specify the corresponding fitting points for the position of the frame.
4. Complete the title block, if desired.

If you want to complete the title block later, select Drawing > Others > Extras >Tools > Complete title block , without DB.

Exchange of DIN frames for foreign languages

If, in the title block, the virtual HELiOS attribute language ID (HEL__LANGUAGE) begins with EN or FR, the DIN frames are exchanged for DINA*-ENGL.FGA or DINA*-FRANZ.FGA.

Title block

Complete title block, without DB

Drawing > Others > Extras > Tools > Complete title block, without DB

If you want to complete the title block later, this function is available. Once you have activated the function, you are prompted for the text for the individual fields of the title block in turn.

You can use the text functions to change these texts subsequently.

Complete title block, DB attributes

Drawing > Others > Extras > Tools > Complete title block , with attributes

If you want to complete the title block later, this function is available. With this function, you use the drawing attributes for the title block.

Change language for title block texts

The source language is always the first in WBSPRACH.DAT. If the language ID is the same as the source language (1st language), there is no translation and no message is issued.
