Defines the drawing sheet size and print setup information. The units shown are derived from the Units page (File Properties dialog box).

Sheet Size

Sets the size for the drawing sheet.

Same as Print setup

Sets the drawing sheet size using the current print setup definition. For example, if the printer is set up as 8 1/2 X 11, the drawing sheet size is set up as 8 1/2 X 11.

Standard

Defines the drawing sheet size from a list of standard ANSI and ISO paper sizes.

Custom

Defines the drawing sheet size according to the entered width and height values.

Sheet Scale

Displays the sheet scale for the active working sheet.

The Scale and Scale value boxes are not available when the sheet scale is derived from a drawing view. You can determine which drawing view is driving the sheet scale using the Set Sheet Scale command. This command is available from the shortcut menu when a drawing sheet tab is selected. When you select the command, the drawing view that is shown in the Selected element color is the one that is currently being used to set sheet scale.

Change the sheet scale manually

When this check box is selected, you can select a scale from the Scale list or type a scale in the Scale Value box. This lets you set sheet scale independently of drawing view scale. It also removes any existing associativity between the sheet scale and a drawing view scale. It does not, however, change any drawing view scales.

Caution:

Selecting this check box permanently removes the associativity between the sheet scale and the drawing views on the sheet.

Scale

Sets the sheet scale of the working drawing sheet.

Note:

Scale values are defined in the Drawing View Scales section of the Custom.xml file, in the Solid Edge Preferences folder. See the Help topic, Add custom drawing view scales to Solid Edge.

Scale value

Defines the working drawing sheet scale based on a value you type.

If the Scale Value results in a scale that is not currently available, it is added to the Scale list in the form of 1:X or X:1 where X is determined numerically by the Scale Value.

Example:

If you enter 5, then the sheet Scale list is set to 5:1. If you enter 1/3, then the sheet Scale list is set to 1:3.

Sheet scale is also set when placing a view with the Drawing View Wizard.

When the first drawing view is placed on a sheet using the Drawing View Wizard, the sheet scale is set automatically to the scale of this drawing view. All subsequently placed views assume the same scale. This ensures that the scale of all drawing views on the sheet is consistent.
