Example 1 - Step 8: Add Parts to Drawing + Update (ManBIM)

Now let us assume that you want to insert an additional plate into your model drawing. After this, you need to update the workshop/detail drawings as well as the mounting drawing for the entire model drawing.

1. Use the Steel Engineering function Rectangular plate (Steel Engineering > Plate, new...) to insert the plate.
2. Switch back to the Management + BIM tab and re-itemise the model drawing with the Itemisation function.
3. Save the model drawing using the Save function on the Management + BIM tab.

The detail drawing for the plate does not exist yet, and the assembly drawing for the assembly with item number 2 is no longer up to date due to the adding of the plate.

4. Activate the Create/Update - Manual function (Management + BIM > Drawing > Drawing > ...). The drawings which are no longer up to date will be shown. These are the mounting drawing and the production drawing with the Item No. 2.

Mark the entries and click OK. Confirm the security query with Yes. The assembly drawing and the mounting drawing will then be updated.

5. Then, parts without drawing will be automatically searched and listed. The production drawing for the new plate is still missing.

Mark the item and click OK. Confirm the security prompt with Yes. The assembly drawing will then be updated.

In the Drawing derivation dialogue window, activate the checkboxes Main parts, individually and Sub-parts, individually and confirm with OK.

The detail drawing for the plate will now be created.

If you now select Create/Update once more, the following message will be displayed:

This means that all drawings are up to date.
