Set up .dtl file for each sheet of drawing

[Mani_designer]

Hi, For detailing, we use to set overall .dtl setup only for whole file. In that case can we change or set that .dtl. file for each sheet separately to control the parameters in each sheets? For ex:. For sheet1 -setup 1.dtl, For sheet2-setup2.dtl.

Hi,

requested functionality is not available. DTL options are applied to all drawing sheets.

All right fine. Is there any option to control the parameters from different sheets as my requirements by any manual methods?

Thank you

Hi,

your question is too general.

[Mani_designer]

I meant to say is there any other way to do this process? like any mapkey and all..

Hi,

you cannot set different DTL options for different drawing sheets.

What drawing options are you trying to change on the 2nd sheet? What needs to be different? 

[Mani_designer]

Hi,

My requirement is to change the arrow size and text font size in different sheets. Texts and fonts can change individually but not all the setting parameters can't be changed. That is what I am expecting .

[BenLoosli]

Probably your best option is to create mapkeys that change your settings as required from the default DTL settings. Create one to change back to the default settings, too.

Hi, have you considered creating a drawing using overlay sheets?  The sheets with the different arrow and text size would come from a separate drawing that is managed by its own set of .dtl options...

[Mani_designer]

Yeah, that's a great work. Now I can do what things I want. But some how we have to create separate drawing file for that , Right!

still that's fine for my current project.

Thank you.

Just remember that overlay is not very common (my opinion) and can be very confusing if the next user does not understand the process.

It may solve the situation and be a good solution but it may be problematic in the future.

Yes, I understand. I just wanted this process only for PDF conversion. So that I made another copy for my reference anyway.
Thanks for the Information.
