Change Boltings/Rivetings (3-D)

3-D Standard > Standard Parts > Bolting > Change

Use the following functions to apply subsequent changes to already inserted Standard Parts, boltings and rivetings:

	Process	Exchanges standard parts with other standard parts.
	Position / Grid	Changes the insertion point / grid for the bolting.
	Representation	Changes the representation of the bolting.
	Update	Adjusts the bolting after applying modifications to the bolted geometry.
	Settings	Enables you to specify the settings for boltings.

Alternatively, you can also access the Change functions via the context menu for boltings (right-click bolting). Here you can find the following additional functions:

	Break up bores Removes the link between bore and bolting. In case of any subsequent changes to the bolting, you will then need to adjust the holes manually.
	Bolt length Changes the length of a bolt.

Process boltings

3-D Standard > Standard Parts > Bolting > Process

You use this function to replace fitted standard parts, components of a bolting or standard processing by relevant objects of another type or another size.

1. Identify an edge of the standard part or the standard processing.
2. HiCAD displays a corresponding dialogue window for standard parts, standard processes or boltings. Select the replacement object or the new size.
3. Click OK to exit the dialogue window.

Example

Position/Grid

3-D Standard > Standard Parts > Bolting > Position/Grid

You use this function to change the fitting position of standard parts, standard processings and boltings as well as the arrangement of standard part images that have been fitted on a grid.

1. Identify an edge of the standard part or the bolting.
2. The Grid menu opens. Choose the grid you want and, if required, enter the number of objects as well as the necessary distances/angles. Operation is similar to a new fitting.
3. If you want to change the fitting position, the fitting direction or the reference point, use the right mouse button to activate the context menu before fitting. If desired, you can also reverse the direction of the bolting.
4. Make the changes you want by selecting the relevant function.
5. Specify the fitting position.

Please note that you can only invert boltings with identical bores at their start and end.

Representation

3-D Standard > Standard Parts > Bolting > Representation

Simplify > Change > Change representation

This function enables you to make subsequent changes to the representation of existing standard parts, standard processings and boltings.

• Geometry
  You can show/hide holes, standard parts, axes and threads here by activating/deactivating the checkboxes.

• Detailing
  If Exact is chosen, the bolt heads are represented in detail. Especially for large drawings containing very many boltings it often makes sense to use the Compressed (2) representation to increase the performance of the program. If you want boltings in compressed representation to be considered for identical part search, BOM creation, or product structure transfer to HELiOS, select the Ref. BOM (3) representation.

Example

• Production
  This setting is only relevant for steel engineering. First choose Show axes and then the type of production.
• Options
  By activating the relevant radio button, you can define whether you want the change to apply to individual boltings, to all boltings of an active part, or to all boltings of the drawing.
  

(1) Detailed representation on, (2) Detailed representation off, with thread without axis, (3) Detailed representation off, without thread and axis, (4) Only axis

Update bolting

3-D Standard > Standard Parts > Bolting > Update

Use this function to update boltings,e.g. adjust them to the changed thickness of bolted plates. You can apply the function to

• individual boltings,
• all boltings of the active part, or
• all boltings of the entire drawing.
