How to edit a personal basemap?

lguffond · February 25, 2015, 2:20pm

Hello to all!!

new on SW, I would have liked to know how to edit a personal background!!

Indeed, I created and saved my background plan but when I want to take it out, it only appears a blank page.

Is there a tutorial to be able to know where I made the mistake?

Thank you for your answers!!!

So for a background, you have to create a room, then save it.

Then create a drawing following the room. Insert a view and then delete there.

Then right-click in the white of your sheet and choose edit the background.

Make your cartridge and whatever you want, then make file/save the basemap.

Save it in the specified folder with a name you have chosen.

On the other hand, there is a very well-known bug, which indeed when opening a basemap

Every other time it is all white, I don't know why.

I close Soldiworks and reopen it....

Be careful, there is a trap in SW: you shouldn't confuse the background plan with the drawing model...

If I understood correctly, starting from an existing plan, you edited the basemap and then saved that basemap.

When you make a new plan, your basemap does not appear.

You have 2 possibilities:

- right-click/property/browse and go find your basemap (SLDDRT file)

- create a drawing template (do the process below, then save as, choose "drawing template")

On your sheet, you press "Right Button" - "Properties" and click on Browse to find your Personal Basemap.

I made tutorials on this on my site:

thank you .PL but the links to the tutorials don't exist anymore apparently!!

Basically, if you've done your background correctly, if it's just the fact that you have a blank page instead of your title block.

Close Solidworks, and reopen it and open the basemap.

Try it and come back to us;)
