Drawings in different languages.

[PrebenReventlow]

Hi everybody

We're a danish production company with subsidiaries in Lithuania and Spain.
We'd like to change language on our drawings fairly easy, but need some good ideas
We have the parameters in danish and english on the parts and assemblies.
We use PDMLink 10.0 M030.

Can anybody give me a good idea on how to change language on the drawings in an easy and manageable way?

Thank you in advance!

Hello Preben,

how about using relations in the model where you asign the language to the text parameter. Something like

if language == "en"

param_text=param_en

param_text2=param_en2

...

else´

param_text=param_dn

param_text2=param_dn2

endif

and then use the param_text on the drawing (&param_text).

Then you may simply switch the language by changing the parameter language in the model.

Hello Jens

That could work.
I'll just change it to the specific users.
That way they don't have to think about the language.
I'll dig a little bit deeper into this.

Thank You,

Preben

you could create drawing formats e.g. a3_en.fmt / a3_dan.fmt which use the parameters of their own language.

Then you only have to switch formats.

We went for the formats in different languages.

Very easy to do and manage.
