Drawing Sheets

The drawing sheet outlines the physical dimensions and the layout of a document page. A document can employ either a single drawing sheet or multiple ones. For instance, one sheet could be used for the cover page while others could be allocated to the pages featuring the actual drawings. The drawing sheet can incorporate various elements, depending on the specific requirements of the document type, including static and dynamically populated elements like text boxes, symbols, and data tables.

Drawing sheets are available in two formats:

• DWG-based – This format is recommended but not yet applicable to all document types.

• ASCII-based – This older format is applicable to all document types, including diagrams.

We strongly advise using the DWG format whenever possible due to its enhanced capabilities. Documents currently using an ASCII-based sheet can be switched to a DWG sheet, provided the document type supports it.
