1. Create a new model, based on model template cambering plans.
2. Generate an assembly drawing in which you want to show the cambering plan, use setting beam-cambered. The setting beam-cambered uses layout assembly so that the cambering plan is shown in the assembly drawing:
3. Open the drawing properties dialog box in the drawing and click the button User-defined attributes...
4. Go to the tab Cambering parameters. Select a Camber schedule (1) and enter the intended cambering sizes (2):
