2. Activate the command "Sketch > Book"

3. Create the paragraph models

4. Create the chapters; each one using a paragraph model.

Once the template has been created, it can be used through the "Draft" command from the contextual menu of a machining document.

It is possible to set an internal margin beyond which the paragraph cannot go.

To set these margins, you need to use the "Internal margins" option available when editing the border of the draft (right click on the border).

This option is available only if the "Book" mode is activated into the draft document.
