The main tool for managing sheets of the drawing is the Document tree. All actions on sheets control are performed in it.

By default, the list of sheets is rolled up. To expand it, click the icon to the left of the icon Sheets .

Sheets in the Drawing Tree

Selection of dimension and the sheet orientation

The current format, multiplicity, and orientation of the sheet are displayed as icons in the fields of the left-hand part of the Tree, See Fig..

You can change the format, multiplicity, and orientation using one of the following practices:

•Mouse-click the respective icon in the Tree. This method allows changing the parameters of sheets separately.

•A click in the format field expands a list of standard formats. The last item in the list is Custom Format; selecting it will cause a Format Setup dialog to appear, where you can set an arbitrary sheet size.

•A click in the Multiplicity field expands a list of multipliers. If the sheet sizes are custom, the multiplicity can’t be changed.

•A click in the orientation field changes the current orientation to the reversed. If the sheet sizes are custom, the orientation can’t be changed.

•Selection of sheet(s) in the Tree and call of the Formatcommand from the context menu. This method allows changing the parameters of multiple sheets simultaneously. After you run the command, a format selection dialog appears on the screen, where you can set the specified parameters.

Selecting sheet detailing

Detailing – a set of (external and internal) frames of the sheet and tables (title block, etc.). The detailings provided with KOMPAS-3D are stored in the libraries – the *.lyt files located in the \Sys subfolder of the main system folder. Primary detailing library which is used on creation of documents – graphic.lyt. It is also possible to generate custom detailing libraries, see section Title blocks and document detailing.

Due to the fact that a detailing is assigned to each sheet, you don’t have to cross out frames and tables of the title block.

The name of the current sheet detailing is displayed in the right-hand part of the Document Tree, See Fig..

Detailing selection is performed in a separate the dialog. In it, you can select the required detailing from the current library, select another library, or give up using the detailing for a sheet. The sheet without detailing has no frames and the title block.

The Detailing selection dialog can be invoked by the following practices:

•Double-click the name of the current sheet detailing in the Drawing Tree.

•Invoke the Change detailing... Command from the context menu of any detailing table on this sheet in the graphic region of the document.

•Select a sheet (sheets) in the Drawing tree and invoke the Detailing command from the context menu. This method, unlike the previous two, allows to replace the detailing for several sheets at a time.
