    Inventor GOST is an add-in for Autodesk Inventor 2010. GOST standards are published by the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology of the Russian Federation. The standards serve the same purpose as ISO 9000 and cover many industries.

    As related to Inventor 2010, GOST standards govern the symbols used in a drawing, title block appearance, and more. Inventor provides users with two templates that meet GOST standards (IDW, DWG). Load the ESKD Support add-in, and after you add or create your drawing, switch to the Annotate (ESKD) tab to add GOST-compliant features. The Annotate (ESKD) tab replaces the Annotate tab for GOST users.

    What is ESKD?

    ESKD is the Unified System of Design Documentation, a subset of the GOST standard. This system governs everything from font type and size to text placement on a page.

    The GOST / ESKD Templates

    Inventor comes with two GOST compliant drawing templates (IDW, DWG). The GOST templates come prepared with the appropriate title block, fonts, and other features required for compliance. Insert a base view in the template or you can draw a new part or assembly. You do have options for customization such as adding or removing title blocks, changing the arrowhead, and more.

     

    Procedures:

    Annotate (ESKD) tab

     

    The ESKD templates and Annotate (ESKD) tab are used together to create GOST-compliant drawings in Inventor. After opening the template, insert a Base View or create a drawing.

    First, load the ESKD Support add-in:

    • MaxU77Sun Oct 31, 2010 5:13 pmIs there a way to edit GOST IDW template in order to replace those three material-relevant entries in titleblock ("Материал Класс", "Материал Наим.", "Материал ГОСТ") with "Description" entry from the corresponding (active in part model) material style from Materials.xml? That "Description" is empty by default but we've filled it.
    • kubicovaiFri Nov 12, 2010 2:51 amYou can edit the GOST.idw template to customize the title block format. To find more details, see the "Edit a title block format" procedure on the "User's Guide > Drawings > Drawings overview > Sheet Formats" page. Or, view the attached video.
