Hi Stephen,

Thanks so much for the suggestion.
I reformulated the request in the CUSTOMIZATION OF CREO sector
Let's see what happens.
A greeting Luca Carraro.

The format doesn't really do anything other than define the drawing size and bring in the title block and border.

A template can automate some of the initial drawing setup. You can predefine views and placements but they are not intelligent. They simply work based on part size, which includes datums and coordinate systems.

Hi Stephen,

I already use various templates but
what I would like to do is this:
1) I import the step
2) I find the dimensions of the box that contains the piece
3) based on the size of the part I decide the format to use and the scale
4) mathematically I detect which are the largest dimensions to establish an orientation of the part and therefore define a "TOP" view which is the starting point of the projections.
5) With the program in detailing I also do the other projections.
An example in the PDF.

So you are looking for some kind of automation/customization to do these steps for your, correct?

There is a forum on here for customization of creo https://community.ptc.com/t5/Customization/bd-p/customization

I suspect that most of those users on that forum are also on this one too.  If I was guessing, I would say it would take a pretty big effort to make what you want to do happen, but you may be able to automate some steps more easily than others.

Good luck.
