Configuration Settings

The application utilizes a configuration file that provides the ability for you to configure the program to function in a way that suits your company standards. The configuration file is located in the product defaults directory %PDMSDFLTS%\assembly and the file is named assydrwg.cfg.

If you enter the drafting module as an Administrator, the Assembly Drawing toolbar will contain an extra option . Click on this Modify Settings button and the Assembly Drawing Configuration Editor form will be displayed as shown below. Each section of this form deals with a particular set of configuration settings.

The configuration settings are handled by the application form !!assyDrwgConfig and the object ASSYDRWGCONFIG. Each entry in the configuration text file corresponds to the same object method. For example, the first option in the file is whether a drawing should be created when the application is run.
