Create Frame and Title Block and Template in CAXA

Learn how to create a template file that works with the property information of the 3D model.

Types of Templates

There are three types of CAXA Draft templates.

1. Title column template (.chd)
   You can register the title field.
   
2. Frame Template (.cfm)
   Only the frame can be registered by specifying the size.
   
3. Template (.and tpl)
   Standards, various style settings, layer information, etc. can be registered.
   It is also possible to register, including frame and title field.

Check the location of the template with CAXA Draft options.

When CAXA Draft is closed, IRONCAD options are opened.

Check the options with CAXA Draft open.

Preparation and Precautions

1. Frame Data (.Prepare the dxf, the standard.JisMake sure it is, and disassemble it if the frame or part of the title field is blocked.
   
2. Set the layout, style, and character style.
3. Be sure to match the base point of the frame and the base point of the title field in the same place.
   In addition, in CAXA Draft, the center of the frame is the origin position on the system.

[4] After saving 3D, project it with CAXA to see if the title field reflects it.

[5] If you can confirm the reflection, delete all the drawings on the drawing, including the title field and frame.

Make sure there is no link in Edit Link in the 3D Interface tab.

[7] Again, read the saved frame and title fields to template the CAXA Draft file (.Save it to TPL.
