Setting the view headings to German

In this article you will learn how to change the display of the view titles in the Module 4 drawings from English to German or another language. This ensures a professional and consistent representation of your documentation according to local standards.

Prerequisites

  • Module 4 for drawings is installed and configured.
  • You have access to the Module 4 Settings.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Open the Module 4 Settings in your application.
  2. Under the DrawingLanguage field, set the desired default language (e.g. DEU for German).
  3. Then switch to the MapLanguage tab.
  4. In the table that appears, map the English standard terms to the desired German designations.
    • Example: Top View → Draufsicht
    • Example: Front View → Vorderansicht
    • Example: Right Side View → Rechte Ansicht
  5. Save the configuration and reload the settings in SuCri.
  6. Run the SuCri command to update the drawing.

Result: The drawing is regenerated and all view headings appear in the language you defined.

Important notes

  • Reload required: After every change in the MapLanguage tab, the settings must be reloaded before the drawing is updated.
  • Existing drawings: Drawings that already exist do not adjust automatically. You have to update or regenerate them manually.
  • Individual adjustment: Via the MapLanguage mechanism you can also define company-specific designations to ensure consistent terminology.

Troubleshooting

  • Headings remain English: Check whether the correct language key is stored under DrawingLanguage and whether the mapping in the MapLanguage tab exactly matches the English source term.
