Setting up SheetDocumentTable

 

SheetDocumentTable

Create a SheetDocumentTable

In the Project Tree/Table_KB_Inventor_Example/Designs  Right click on the Designs folder and select New Design, name it SheetDocumentTable and add InvSheet as the mixin.

 

Drag SheetDocumentTable into the Model window and into DrawingDocumentTable0.

 

 

 

Add Rule values to the SheetDocumentTable

Add new Rules and values to SheetDocumentTable

 

In SheetDocumentTable/Design Tab/ add these new rules and  values:

 

Add Parameter Value in the child tab.

 

 

 

 

We selected the "kA3DrawingSheetSize" because the Table with a length of 55" and a width of 32" fits this drawing paper space. However, if the Table length is increased, the drawing will become too crowded. To make size adjustments we will put a formula in the *invScale rule.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we add different types of views, we can reference the invScale rule in SheetDocumentTable.

Note: below, the Table length has been changed to 110 but still fits in the paper space because we populated invScale with our formula.
