This element indicates whether and which paper formats are to be made available for this view.

This element is optional and should only be used if different paper formats are truly available.

In the 2D derivation [2D derivation] dialog box, select the desired paper format in the Paper formats list box.

Paper formats [Paper formats]: Selection "A4"

The following describes how the different paper formats are declared:

Via [ELEMENT_frame] in the template file *.dw the default frame is defined.

[ELEMENT_frame]
type=frame
dxf=default.dxf

Via [Formats], also in the template file, the additional paper formats (frames) are defined.

The input under [Formats] refers to configuration files.

Display name = path to *.cfg configuration file.

[Formats]
A0=defaultA0.cfg
A1=defaultA1.cfg
etc.

The configuration file under [ELEMENT_frame] refers to another dxf file (paper format).

[ELEMENT_frame]
type=frame
dxf=defaultA0.dxf

In the configuration file *.cfg, all elements of the drawing view (*.dw) are specified with their valid geometries (height, width, etc.) for the relevant paper format so that these are also reproduced in the new paper format.

	Tip
	Copy the content of the template file and adjust the values accordingly.

The following figure shows the storage directory with standard 2D derivations, translation files, configuration files and DXF files.
