You can customize the left, right, top, and bottom margins of the drawing area, either interactively with the mouse or by typing new values in the Drawing Areas window. Likewise, you can use either method to set the start positions of where Isogen plots the material, weld, and cut lists on the isometric drawing.

Set Drawing Margins Graphically

  1. Open the Drawing Setup Tool.

  2. On the Drawing Areas page, place the cursor on the grab handle for the margin you want to change.

    The cursor updates from a pointer to a two-headed arrow cross, indicating the direction in which you can drag the boundary.

    SHARED Tip You can also place the cursor on one of the boundaries. The cursor updates from a pointer to a cross-hair, indicating that the margin is ready to be resized.

  3. Drag the boundary to the new position, and then release the mouse. As you drag the boundary, the corresponding margin value in the Drawing Areas window dynamically updates. To accurately fit the drawing area, zoom in to each corner of the area being defined.

    Using the corner grab handles, you can move two margins simultaneously while the other two margins remain unchanged.

    • Grab handle 1: Resizes the left and top margins.

    • Grab handle 2: Resizes the right and top margins.

    • Grab handle 3: Resizes the left and bottom margins

    • Grab handle 4: Resizes the right and bottom margins.

Set Drawing Margins Using the Grid

  1. Expand Drawing Area Margins in the Drawing Areas window, and click the margin you want to resize.

  2. Type the new value.

    The drawing boundary box in the View window updates accordingly.

Set Report Start Position Graphically

  1. On the Drawing Areas page, place the cursor on the appropriate report anchor.

    The cursor updates from a pointer to a cross-hair, indicating that the anchor is ready to be moved.

    In the above example, the numbers underneath the cross-hairs indicate the X and Y coordinate values.

  2. Move the anchor to the required location, and then release the mouse.

    As you drag the anchor, the corresponding X and Y values that display with the anchor and in the Drawing Areas window dynamically update.

Set Report Data Start Position Using the Grid

  1. Expand the appropriate list category in the Drawing Areas window, click X, and type the new value.

  2. Click Y, and type the new value.

    The drawing boundary box in the View window updates accordingly.
