How to manage drawings with several sheets in PLM?

Answer

Whilst the PLM is not able to support the multi-sheet drawings, here is the procedure to follow if you have a design that doesn’t fit only in one sheet of the drawing:

Note: the procedure refers to CATIA, but it can be applied for other CAD Tools (BricsCAD...) or BIM tools (Revit...) as well as for manual upload of Drawing (PDF...) in the PLM.

 

1. Create the drawing with all the needed views and run the Title Block Editor (get a CERN Drawing Reference). And if all these views cannot fit in one single A0 sheet, then,

2. Duplicate the drawing,several times if necessary (depending of the place that is required) and attach them to the same Part than the first one.The first Drawing will be the Master, while the additional(s) will be set as "Other".
In the description field of the additional drawing(s), you can put a note like: "Sheet 2 from LHCXDEMA1600"
Keep / remove and move the views on each Drawing.

3. Run the Title Block Editor and get a new CDR for each additional Drawing.

4. Add a note on each drawing and complete it, in the following way (* being the total number of drawings):

In CATIA, this note is available in the stickers Catalog.
