Macro TemplateHelper

Description
If you are tired of retyping information whenever you inserted another page into your active FreeCAD file or if you prefer a "drawn" bill of material (BOM) over an inserted spread sheet this macro is for you.

This macro generates a TechDraw template on the fly and inserts it into the active document, ready to get new views added.

If you wish, you can fill the space between the title block and the upper border of the drawing area with a BOM. You choose how many lines you need or if you fill the whole space.



Usage

 * 1) Open a FreeCAD file or add a new one
 * 2) Launch the Macro
 * 3) Select page format
 * 4) Select language for the title block
 * 5) If you need a BOM change the number of rows
 * You can use the right mouse button to reset to 0 or
 * to set the maximum number of rows that fit on your chosen page size
 * Finally: Click OK to continue

English is default and just one version, but maybe someone likes to distinguish 'merican and bri'ish English in the future... :-D
