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.
The ESKD drawing templates and Annotate (ESKD) tab on the ribbon are used together to create GOST-compliant drawings in Inventor.
