Description

This tool allows you to put selected objects on a svg Drawing sheet.

Usage

Select objects you want to put on the drawing sheet.
In the same selection, add the page object you want to draw your objects to. If there is no existing page, a new one will be created. If you didn't select a page but there is at least one in the document, the first found one will be used to draw to.
The objects viewed on the Drawing page will take the hint scale and hint offset values of their host page. Be sure to set these values beforehand.
You can change offset and scale values of objects anytime
Set/adjust the Linewidth modifier. Higher value will result in thicker lines.
Set/adjust the Textsize modifier. Higher values will result in bigger texts.
If you selected an existing sheet, and the objects in the selection that are already on that sheet (for ex. for a "Rectangle" object there is already a "ViewRectangle" object on the sheet), they will be substitued. This allows you to simply select all the objects and send them to an existing page, which will simply be updated.

 * Select objects you want to put on the drawing sheet.
-* Select the existing sheet name to send objects to. If there is no existing sheet, or you select 'Add New', a new sheet will be created. You can edit the 'Add New' entry to give a name to your new sheet.
+* In the same selection, add the page object you want to draw your objects to. If there is no existing page, a new one will be created. If you didn't select a page but there is at least one in the document, the first found one will be used to draw to.
+* The objects viewed on the Drawing page will take the hint scale and hint offset values of their host page. Be sure to set these values beforehand.
-* Set the scale. Drawing sheets are always in millimeters, so for example if you work in meters, setting a scale of 5 will mean 1:200, 10 will mean 1:100, 20 will mean 1:50, etc...
-* Set the offset X and Y values. That is the distance between the page borders and the (0,0) point.
+* You can change offset and scale values of objects anytime
 * Set/adjust the Linewidth modifier. Higher value will result in thicker lines.
 * Set/adjust the Textsize modifier. Higher values will result in bigger texts.
+* If you selected an existing sheet, and the objects in the selection that are already on that sheet (for ex. for a "Rectangle" object there is already a "ViewRectangle" object on the sheet), they will be substitued. This allows you to simply select all the objects and send them to an existing page, which will simply be updated.
-* If the "page WorkPlane" button is pressed, and the Working Plane is set (value different than "None"), that working plane is used as a projection plane to draw the objects on the page.
-* Press the blue arrow button, or press again the "Put to Sheet" button (or its shortcut)
-* If you selected an existing sheet, and the objects in the selection are already on that sheet (for ex. for a "Rectange" object there is already a "ViewRectangle" object on the sheet), they will be substitued. This allows you to simply select all the objects and send them to an existing page, which will simply be updated.
