Drawing Derivation - Settings for: Drawing Sheets, View Groups, Views + Sheet Developments

Drawing > Itemisation/Detailing > Drawing derivation

In the Drawing parameters of the Derived drawing dialogue window, you can specify various settings which influence the layout and representation of the derived drawing. These settings can be specified for:

by clicking the corresponding button.

 

The presettings of the dialogue windows will be specified in the Configuration Editor, at Automatic drawing derivation > Production drawing.


Settings for Drawing Sheets

In this dialogue window you specify the settings for the sheets of a derived drawing.

In addition, you can specify for DIN formats that an appropriate drawing frame will be inserted and the corresponding title block will be filled in automatically.

 

Please note:

Examples:

Furthermore, you can also configure additional drawing frames there: Use the Derive structure function to derive further frames from the DIN_A0 frame, and configure them.


Settings for View Groups

In this dialogue window you specify the representation of view groups.

The All views checkbox is only active for subsequent changes of settings!

The visualisation can be specified separately for standard views, sectional views and axonometric views. Default values are:

The All views checkbox is only active for subsequent changes of settings.

Activate this checkbox to display Steel Engineering beams and profiles in shortened representation.

Please note the following:

These shortenings of views will not take effect in axonometric views with shaded representation. Furthermore, it can happen that beams are not displayed in shortened representation if the Automatically adjust axonometric views in the Scale area has been activated. In this case it may be possible that a scale for the axonometric view will be found that does not lead to a shortening according to the selected shortening parameters.

The following settings are possible:

The layout of the BOM can be chosen from the corresponding listbox under Name of settings file.

Type and position of the BOM can be defined separately for each usage in the Configuration Editor at Automatic drawing derivation > Production drawing > Usage-dependent > .... > View group. If the drawing parameters are loaded from a configuration that has been saved in the Configuration Editor, the corresponding settings from the Configuration Editor will be will be preset in the dialogue window.

To change the position of the BOM in the view group subsequently, open the Drawing tab and choose Itemisation/Detailing > Derive > Change settings - Active view group, provided that a BOM had been created in this view group.

The default setting is Always insert. This presetting can be changed in the Configuration Editor, at Automatic drawing derivation > Production drawing > Usage-dependent > ... Frames around view group.

According to the ISD default setting, sectional views are automatically created for Steel Engineering plates running transversely or diagonally to the main part axis. When working with configuration templates, you can specify for each usage which sectional views are to be created for attached parts. The setting can be defined in the Configuration Editor at Automatic drawing derivation > Production drawing > Usage-dependent > name > View group, with name being the name of the relevant template.

Please note:


Settings for views

Here you specify the settings for views, e.g. the type of dimensioning, the representation of designation tags, the part environment (adjacent parts) etc.

Do not create
If you do not want a dimensioning, activate this option. However, please note the following:

Conventional
If this option has been selected, the settings of the Dimensioning Settings function in the Settings menu will be used. However, please note the following:

Dimensioning rules
Dimensioning rules are always part of a Configuration. If you have activated the Drawing parameters, From configuration option in the workshop drawing dialogue window, the dimensioning rules of the selected configuration (e.g. COLUMN/COLUMN) will be used. If the Drawing parameters, Set in dialogue option is active, the dimensioning is performed according to the rules of the DEFAULT Usage.

(1) Distance of shortening to relevant geometry
For the shortened representation you can specify the minimum width of the shortening area (= "disappeared" area) und the distance of the shortening to the relevant geometry.

If the settings for drawing derivation are loaded from a configuration, the settings specified in the Configuration Editor at Automatic drawing derivation > Production drawing > Usage-dependent > name > Views > Shortened view will be evaluated. name denotes the name of the corresponding usage.

If there are offset lines, the view will not be shortened!

The created sectional views are sectional views with depth limitation. You specify via the Views to be created for: Assemblies option whether the sectional view will be created.

In addition, you have the option to narrow the search for system axes by activating the Restrict search checkbox and specifying the area for te search. The value determines the distance (1) from the beam start/end (HiCAD searches from the beam end to the outside for the next grid axis).

HiCAD displays the annotations specified in the grid parameters.

The Settings tab enables you to set various parameters for the part environment, such as the area for adjacent part search, or the representation of the part environment.

Part search
Here you enter a distance value determining the area that is used for adjacent part search.

Limit view
If you do not want to display the entire part environment, you can limit the view. Activate the Limit checkbox and enter the values for the limitation. Elements outside the specified area will not be displayed.

Representation
Parts located within the selected area can be displayed in a different edge and surface colour.Activate the corresponding checkbox and select the desired colour. In addition, you have the option to make the parts transparent - independent of the layer selected.

 

The following settings are possible:

You can preset the visualisation for each usage in the Configuration Editor, at Automatic drawing derivation > Production drawing > Usage-dependent > .... > Views. If the drawing parameters are loaded from a configuration that has been saved in the Configuration Editor, the corresponding settings from the Configuration Editor will be will be preset in the dialogue window.

Please note that these settings do not apply for bolts within structure assemblies (e.g. in the case of boltings that have been inserted as "loose parts"). These bolts will not be displayed in the workshop drawing.

When you update a production drawing, the settings that were active during creation of the drawing will be used.

 

Please note:


Settings for Sheet Developments

In this dialogue window you specify the settings for the development of sheet metal parts.

The settings correspond to those of the Development parameters function

Please note: 


Settings for sectional views of sheets

In this dialogue window you can specify the settings for sectional views of sheets.
