As mentioned earlier, the drawing tokens contained in the Prompts tools are supplemental drawing instructions. Using these drawing tokens will help save time when drawing products and sections, and will maintain consistency across drawings.
When working with the Prompts tools, selecting one of the drawing-instruction tabs on the right side of the screen will display all the drawing tokens for the selected product, subassembly, or nested subassembly. The image below shows the cross-section drawing tokens for a carcass subassembly.
Similar to machine tokens, drawing tokens contain their lists of parameters. Each type of drawing token has specific parameters that are used to locate and control the way the token is drawn. Note: When adding or editing cross-section drawing tokens, the tokens need to be added as though they will be used for a right-facing section – meaning negative X-axis values will draw towards the face of the cabinet. Left-facing sections will receive an automatic recalculation of the X-axis values to “flip” them.
By right-clicking in the drawing token list, you can add, copy, or delete drawing tokens.
When adding a drawing token, you will need to select the type of drawing token to use from the list of available tokens and then fill out the required parameters to place and control the drawing instructions correctly.
