Direct Entry to Frame Editor (using adraftbe command)

Command:

Menu Selection:

PDMS Frame>Write Sheet

Initial Prompt:

select the required entities. The remaining prompts and required responses are:

Inch/<MM>:

enter required units (default millimeters)

Over/<Back>:

choose to create Overlay or Backing Sheet

Draft Sheet Library Name

<CE>:

enter name of destination Draft SHLB element (default ‘current element’)

BACK Sheet name:*

enter a valid database name for the backing sheet

Draft Command Filename:

enter a filename for the command macro (note: the .mac suffix, conventional in AVEVA applications, is not automatically added)

The above procedure will create the macro file and save it in the current directory. This can then be run from the command line using the $M/ command (having first navigated to the correct database position if the CE option was selected), or the relevant Draft menu option may be used - see the Draft Administrator Guide.

Note:
The ways in which AutoCAD entities and attributes are mapped to Draft elements and attributes are described in AutoCAD to Draft Entity and Attribute Mapping.
