Update Derived Drawing (3-D SE)

Drawing > Itemisation/Detailing > Derive > Update derived drawing

Use this function to update already existing derived drawings after applying changes to the model drawing. Furthermore, updating a derived drawing enables you to close gaps in the model drawing which can, for instance, occur when superfluous views have been deleted.

When you call the function, the Update derived drawing dialogue window will be displayed:

  1. Select the sheet you want to update from the Sheet selection list box. If you want to update all sheets, select All.
  2. In the Part selection section, specify which parts you would like to take into account for the updating:
  1. If you do not want to rearrange the views of the updated sheets, e.g. because you want to retain your own arrangement of views, deactivate the Rearrange views checkbox.
  2. Via the AutoSync sectional views checkbox you can specify how to handle sectional views that are still missing, and sectional views that are no longer needed. If you activate the checkbox, the following will happen:

After the adding of new attached parts in the model drawing, the corresponding missing sectional views will be generated automatically.

After the deletion of attached parts in the model drawing, the corresponding superfluous sectional views will be deleted automatically.

Example:

  1. To perform the update, click OK to close the window. If you have chosen Part selection: Select individually, HiCAD will prompt you to identify the desired Steel Engineering part.

 

Notes:

When adding view groups on drawing sheets with already existing views from a drawing derivation, you have also the option to prevent the rearranging of the views if desired. In the Configuration Editor, select ... > Automatic drawing derivation, and set the parameter Rearrange views when updating PDM-managed drawings as desired. Default setting is 1 (rearrange).

 

More specifically the procedure will be as follows as of HiCAD 2017 SP1:

If this message should no longer be displayed during the current HiCAD session, please activate the Suppress message checkbox.

If you do not want this behaviour you have the possibility to turn it off in the Configuration Editor under System Settings > Annotations > Dimensioning, 3-D by deactivating the Rework when deleting workshop drawing dimensions checkbox. This is recommendable if a loss of performance can be noted in workshop drawings with many views.

The new behaviour only works with workshop drawings created in or updated in HiCAD 2017 SP1!

 

Please note:

If you move a view from one sheet of the workshop drawing to another (via Drag & Drop), HiCAD will issue the following message:

After performing the action, the corresponding views will no longer be considered for the updating of the workshop drawing.
