Hello
I'm currently having a problem in my drawings. Indeed I have set a dressing standard, but as soon as I close my drawing and open another one, I have to go back to the document property and point to the .sldstd file.
My question is: How do we freeze the standard of dressing? If I have to, I make a macro to load it as soon as I open a drawing , but I think there is something simpler.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Hello
The Skin Standard file is configured in the ".drwdot" document template to make the choice permanent when you create a new drawing.
If you have to update old files you have no choice but to do the mania for each of them (or via a macro or a MyCad tool utility)
We didn't understand each other, the .drwdot works very well. What I want is the .sldstd, the general skin, which allows you to have the dimensions centered by default, to have the number of decimal places defined etc. As a joint
Thank you
You have to modify this standard in your background plan (slddrt) or in the document template I don't know anymore.
To find the path see in the file location option then:
Document templates
Background plan
Open all your basemaps and then overwrite them or replace them with a new one (save basemap file)
And for the model save.
This is the model that needs to be changed.
The basemap is just the visible entities.
@Floris.Morales:
- check that your paths to the templates are correct and that there are no duplicates (like we make a copy to test but it's not placed in the final location). Are you networked with a shared directory for models or locally? Combination of machines concerned?
- check your different models, it is possible that there are one or 2 that are not well configured;
- indeed, as @Pierre S says, for the "old" files, you have to take them one by one (via a macro or a utility) to call the sldstd file.
Hello
I found this as a macro and by clicking you change the norm:

And it works.
Thank you all. I coded a macro that loads the wrapping standard when a new document is created.
Thank you again.
