A set-up of user-defined drawing types can be made and used in Marine Drafting. For this purpose a file with contents per row <Drawing type>,<Description> should be assigned to the environment variable SB_DRAWINGTYPE_LIST. Drawing type should be a number between 1001 and 1999. Description is the text that is shown in dialogs when creating, saving or opening a drawing.
An example of a list defining user defined drawing types is given below:
1001,ClassDwg
1002,BlockPlan
1003,GenArr
The names of DEPT and REGI are controlled in the same way as for the system defined drawing types, that means, either with a PADDXP attribute on the DEPT elements or a value of the appropriate environment variable in the d065 file. Drawing Type 1001 is controlled by SB_PDB001_PADD and SB_PDB001, 1002 is controlled by SB_PDB002_PADD and SB_PDB002 . Example: SB_PDB001_PADD = EarlyDesign;ClassDwg.
