AutoCAD users quickly get started with CAXA electronic board

I. Overview

This lecture is aimed at engineers who have a certain mechanical drawing basis, master, familiar, and often use AutoCAD software, and use AutoCAD as the main CAD drawing software. Engineering technicians who apply to actual work and generate engineering drawings.

On the basis of proficiency in using AutoCAD, the replacement platform uses another CAD software, which requires a certain adaptation stage from the heart and the operating habits.

First of all, from the heart, after the skilled use of a software, the engineer replaces another software that he is not familiar with, there will be some resistance, this is a very normal phenomenon. This kind of emotion is especially noticeable in the case of tight work and urgent tasks. Each software has its own characteristics, and has common features. With a learning attitude, it is believed that the CAXA electronic board with 280,000 users has its unique features.

From the operational habits, the CAXA electronic board is a completely independent and independent software, and it is completely self-developed. It is also compatible with AutoCAD operating habits and has its own operating characteristics. Enterprises need to give engineers the necessary adaptation time. Generally speaking, it takes an average of one to three working days to familiarize and use the software. It takes three to five working days to master and master the software. Software vendors generally provide appropriate training services.

The following is a targeted explanation of the problems frequently encountered by AutoCAD users when they first contact and use CAXA electronic boards, to help everyone get started quickly and get into work as soon as possible.

interface familiar at first, function revisit later:

Fluent interface with the latest style, the highest frequency functions by category placed on the screen, double-click on the interface Labels (such as common labels, frame labels) can retract the toolbar and expand the display area. The status bar on the left side of the format can be automatically retracted or set to a fixed display state.

Right click on the blank space of the interface to call the interface status bar. You can define the quick launch bar, choose whether to display the main menu, etc. Custom shortcuts and command line display are also inside. We will talk about this later. .

Some of the points and tips mentioned in the following explanations are for mechanical drawings. If they are other industries, they can be flexibly used according to specific functions.

II. System Settings

As the saying goes: Sharpening the knife does not mistake the woodworker. Before using the CAXA electronic drawing board, it is recommended that the technical department of the enterprise carry out the setting work of some common parameters and functions according to the enterprise situation. The benefits of this:

1. Standardize the drawing of the enterprise, and reach the drawing text, labeling, Technical specifications, line types and other specifications are unified.

2. The standardized drawings are conducive to management and reuse, laying the foundation for enterprise information.

3. The standard drawings facilitate the layout printing of drawings and improve the efficiency of drawing.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime process. Not every engineer who comes into contact with the first time does this, but understanding these operations will give you a deeper understanding of some of the concepts of CAXA electronic boards. This work can be customized by the enterprise technical department or the standardization department, and is marked with reference to the engineer's operating habits.

1.Template Settings

When launching the electronic board, there will be a dialog box for selecting templates (Figure 1). The commonly used templates are listed in the default list, select “BLANK” Is the default empty template.

Ø Template Creation: New Blank Template > Set Related Items > Save as *.tpl Format File > Save in the specified directory

Ø Template Storage Path: C:Program FilesCAXACAXA DRAFT MECHANICAL2009804Template

The above path is the default installation path, where “804” is the Simplified Chinese folder (Figure 2), if you are using Traditional Chinese, please store it in the “404” folder If you are using the English version, please store it in the “409” directory. Keep in mind this directory, the custom frame, title bar, and parameter table will be stored in this directory.

Template customization content includes: text, dimension style, layer settings, frame, title bar, custom commands, etc. All environment settings can be set, all of which can be based on corporate standards, or The operating habits of engineers are templates.
