These automatic choices can be changed in the 
of sheets manager 
.
Then you activate Plates, Members or Assemblies, and then you click on Settings for automatic generation of sheets.
We look at the settings in this dialog box.
- No details for simple parts. Rectangular plates that don't have any holes will not get a workshop drawing. Members without holes or cuts will not get a workshop drawing. Assemblies without welded parts will not get a workshop drawing.
- The order in which the parts are placed on the sheets. Enter here 1 or 2 properties that should be used for the order in which the sheets should be generated. This way you can for example sort according to material so that concrete parts will be separated from the steel parts.
- Filenames for the sheets. Only necessary when you used a sorting method that differs from the position or assembly number.
- Priority of formats and scales. In this priority list you should put the preferred format and scale at the top of the list. Parabuild will try to fit the part on the first format+scale combination in the list. If it doesn't fit, then it will try the next format+scale item in the list until the part fits. You can choose multiple scales for the same format before switching to a different format. Make sure that the list doesn't become large (less than 30) because this can slow down the generation process.
- Format/Scale. Enter the format and the scale that Parabuild should try.
- Maximum rescaling. With which percentage can Parabuild rescale the views even further in order to let the part fit on the sheet? This rescaling will simply scale the annotations and dimensions, so they will become a less readable. But this method can be a big space saver.
- Sideview placement freedom. Enter the freedom that Parabuild has in rearrangement of the sideviews.
- Always. The sideviews can be drawn freely on the sheet.
- Default. The sideviews will be outlined most of the time, but in some cases where the part is big and not linear Parabuild will not align the sideviews in order to achieve more efficient space usage on the sheet (for example for a bannister).
- Never. The sideviews always need to be aligned with each other.
