Data of the part in the title block in welding drawing

[jiriDVKHM]

Dear collegues,

I faced with the problem that when u creating drawing of a part in weldinng assembly usualy u need to insert whole assembly and select in a model drawing view (see picture 1). But in that case title block still grab info like part nuber etc from whole assembly. So my quastion is how to set title block to take info from the part u have selected?

Many thanks for your assistance.

Hi @jiriDVKHM 

Welded assemblies serve as inseparable components. These are a kind of monoliths, which are counted as one element at further stages of assembly.

Before you created this assembly, you had to model individual parts. Indicate them when generating the top view, and the whole drawing will be subject to them.

Ps. If the parts are frame members, they are saved in the folder you specified when you saved the frame (usually a subfolder of the main assembly).

Thanks a lot for your reply,

Unfortunately at your approach:

"Ps. If the parts are frame members, they are saved in the folder you specified when you saved the frame (usually a subfolder of the main assembly)."

On the drawing we will not see welding preparation, but I need it to be also presented. 😞

I think we're going around in circles.

If we are talking about the preparation of the assembly, then the drawing is about the assembly.

If you machine parts earlier, you should include this in the part files. And if you machine them as part of assembly, this is how they will be shown in the picture.

Hi! By default, the title block is populated by the first model source. So, if the part view is created first, its part number will be shown in the title block. Then you can add the weldment assembly to the same sheet. The title block will not change.

Many thanks!

But this is not logic... you creating the cage consist of 30 different parts using frame generator, then you convert this assembly to weldment assembly and using preparation tool do some chamfer... Then make drawing assembly and then start making drawings to each part because you cannot show on assembly all demsinons. So definitely and obviously on this single part drawings must be welding preparation and its part number. So to solve it you are suggesting to make chamfer inside the part but in that case preparation function is useless.

Thank you so much, it should work.  It's a pity that there is no straight solution.
