Create general arrangement drawings using saved settings in Master Drawing Catalog

You can create GA drawings in Master Drawing Catalog on the basis of saved settings.

Before you create general arrangement drawings, create the model views that you need and ensure that the views are as you want them to be. The drawing views will have the same orientation and content as the model view you select. Fit work area using two points to select the area that you want to show in the general arrangement drawing.

On the Drawings & reports tab, click Create drawings > Master drawing catalog.
Select the set of saved settings from the list at the top.
If needed, modify the drawing properties by double-clicking the saved setting and clicking Edit drawing properties....

Remember to save the changes in the properties file.
Click Create drawings (Alt+C).
In the Create general arrangement drawing dialog box, select the views that you want to create and the desired option from the Options list.

If you select Empty drawing, you can create an empty drawing and add drawing views in it afterwards.
Click Create to create the drawings.

Tekla Structures creates the drawings and adds them in Document manager. Click in the Master drawing catalog toolbar to open Document manager.
