A UG Open (UFUNC) program is
provided to all users to create, modify, remove and copy formats and blocks
that are used to define drawing formats.
The data used to define formats and blocks are stored in definition
files as UG Open user-defined objects that can only be edited with this program
in a UG part file. This file UG file should be stored in the
appropriate divisional or customer’s format_defs directory.
The program is called da_edit.uf and is in the following two directories:
da_format/hp/application/
da_format/sun/application/
Use the copy that reflects the platform that you are running. To execute the program:
1. Create a UG part file in the appropriate format catagories’ format_defs directory that’s name reflects the data to be created, or open a previously defined file. For example, the name of the corporate definition file is “delphi_product.prt”
2. Run the da_edit.uf program by selecting:
File->Execute UG Open->User Function…
Navigate to the the hp or sun application directory in the da_format directory and select the da_edit.uf user function program and hit the “OK” button or double-click the program’s name. The “Drawing Format Definition” dialog will be displayed (See figure below). Format and block options will be available if they are present in the current definitions file.
