How to Add Custom Frames in Drawing file?

Hi,

 

Can anybody help me out for adding custom frames in CED Annotation file?

I tried the method suggested by PTC Tech Support but did not work in my case.

I tried below method of changing the am_customize file as below

 

;(docu-register-frame
;    :UI-name "Custom-A3"
;    :Wm-name ""
;    :file "C:\Custom_Frames\Custom_A3.mi"
;    :default :every time)     ;; T/NIL/:every time

 

 

But this did not work.

Still the same standard Letter sizes and A0.....A4 sizes are showing.

 

Please help....

We have to copy the above syntax for all the frames to configure in am_customize file.

Did the frame show up in the drop down list when starting a new drawing?

 

When you said this did not work, what results did you get?

 

How did you create the frame?  Did you save it as a frame?

Hi.

I do not know it well, but...

Is the character ' ; ' at the head of every sentence unnecessary?

It means comment.

 

Sorry, I noticed that this question was solved now.

Yes it is comments
