Compass-3D is a fairly common software for working with drawings. You can change the format and design of any drawing sheet in this program, regardless of how it was created.
Instructions
Step 1
To configure the properties of the first sheet of the drawing, go through the menu items "Tools" -> "Options". You can also select the Current Drawing Options command from the document window menu. Open the "Current Drawing" tab from the dialog that appears on the screen and make the necessary changes using the controls from the "First Sheet Options" section.
Step 2
Call the "Document Manager" and make the "Sheets" object active. Left-click on the corresponding page, the parameters of which are being changed, or on the line. In the "Orientation" column, you will see an icon that shows the current orientation of the page. It is changed by clicking on the icon.
Step 3
The "Format" column contains the designation of the current sheet format. You can change it by expanding the list and selecting a particular designation. To select page sizes other than those provided by the standard, call the Format command from the context menu or click the button with the same name located on the Toolbar. A dialog will appear on the screen where the "Custom" option should be enabled. Enter sheet dimensions, close the dialog. The specified values for the sides of the sheet will be displayed in the "Format" column.
Step 4
To change the multiplicity, expand the list in the column with the appropriate name and select the required value. Please note that the multiplicity cannot be set if the sheet size is non-standard.
Step 5
The next column is "Registration". Here you will see the name of the used sheet design from the existing set. You can choose another design from the library by clicking on its name in the appropriate column and specifying the one you need in the dialog that appears.
Step 6
If you need a design from a different (not current) library, left-click on the name located in the “Design Library” column or on the “Design” button located on the “Toolbar”. A dialog will appear on the screen where you need to select a library.
Step 7
If you want to see the result of the changes you made without minimizing the dialog, click on the "Apply" button. You can close the "Document Manager" with saving the changes made and continuing the work by clicking on the "OK" button.
Step 8
If you use the same layout and layout for the pages of most of your drawings, it will be cumbersome to make the appropriate adjustments all the time. In this case, select "Tools" -> "Options" -> "New Documents" -> "Graphic Document" -> "Parameters of the first sheet / new sheets". Now set the properties for the sheets of future drawings by selecting the items "Design" and "Format" in the left part of the dialog that opens.
