## Drawing Frames

A drawing frame has the following functions:

- determining a section of the construction, which is put out on a printer/plotter : the construction within the frame.
- layout of a drawing frame, which is also printed / plotted in addition to the construction.

Before working with drawing frames, one drawing frame has to be created and saved as such. Alternatively you may use a drawing frame (format DIN A0 up to DIN A5) provided by STAEDTLER.
With the command INCLUDE DRAWINGENTITY DRF resp. via drawing management you may position drawing frames in the current construction. If you want to modify the positioned drawing frame (e.g. modify the layout for a special construction) you have to activate it first:
ACTIVATE DRAWINGENTITY DRF.
Saving the construction automatically causes the saving of the drawing frame.
For further information about and explanations of this topic please see the Help text of the command CREATE DRAWINGENTITY. Please click the drawing element icon (symbolizes a title block with a drawing frame) under the command CREATE DRAWINGENTITY with the right mouse button.
