Can't get multiple parts on a detail when creating drawing

Eric

I am trying to create my first drawing in Advance Steel. I have numbered my parts and assemblies and when I use drawing processes I select "all single part page full". It only puts one part per page on the drawing. I am trying to use ANSI D and fill the page up. I have been in the drawing processes manager and checked the filename selector to make sure that close page is set to "on page full". I hope that this is simple, what am I doing wrong?

i think to change from single part to mulit part per drawing its all down to the protoype  

when making drawing from drawing styles  make shore to selct a prototyppe with "multi" in name

when making drawing with drawing proses (like u are) choce a proces like  "part A1 -MULTI - bom"

Alick, Thank you for responding to my post. Can you attach a screenshot of where to find this? If I go through drawing styles or drawing process manager to get to the prototypes I can't find anything like this. I basically have "all' or "selected" to choose from. When I select "all" it only puts one part on that page.

made screen cast  be 10 to 30 mins to be redy (ugaly about that time)

mite off been better if i had mic

so at start i make drawing with drawing process

i made single , then delete ,them then make multi

note the name of the proces first one i used had single in name second one had multi in name 

 

then i go to proces maneger and show the setting where u tell it witch prototype to use

Alick, Thank you for the screencast, but unfortunately I don't see those options for the USA prototypes. I have included a few screenshots to show you what options that I have.

i think your each is my single

and your pagefull is my multi

 

go make a drawing with the drawing proces page full and use a large page size 

then open drawing a take screen shot of layout details (cee attched pic)

this controls spacing of drawing if it set  to space drawing out to much it may not fit more then one per page

Accepted solution

Apparently when I modified my ANSI D template I messed something up. I ran drawing processes with ANSI C and it worked just fine.
