Itemisation Functions

Drawing > Itemisation/Detailing > Item.

The itemisation of parts, i.e. the assigning of item numbers to them, is a prerequisite for the creation of workshop drawings and Bills of Materials.

Use the Item.

function to automatically assign item numbers to BOM-relevant parts, using the settings defined with the Change parameters

function.

Clicking

opens a menu with further functions.

Automatic identical part search and itemisation, with current parameters

Automatically assigns item numbers to parts, using the settings specified with the Change parameters function. Please note here that the displayed dialogue window depends on the chosen itemisation mode - Itemisation up to HiCAD 2017 or Standard itemisation.

...with options

Queries the parameter settings and then immediately assigns the item numbers. Please note here that the displayed dialogue window depends on the chosen itemisation mode - Itemisation up to HiCAD 2017 or Standard itemisation.

Itemisation, individual parts

Use this function to manually assign item numbers to individual parts.

Change parameters

Use this function to change the itemisation settings. These will apply as default settings during the current HiCAD session if you use the Itemisation up to HiCAD 2017. If you use the Standard itemisation as of HiCAD 2018, the changes of the settings will always refer to the active model drawing. Here, the itemisation settings will be saved as well when you save the model drawing.

Please note here that the displayed dialogue window depends on the chosen itemisation mode:

Information, Highlight parts with same item number

Finds and highlight all parts that have the same item number as the identified part.

Information, Highlight part with specified item number

Finds and highlights all parts with a specified item number.

Delete item numbers, Part

Deletes the item number of individual parts. Item numbers of the sub-parts of identified part are retained.

Delete item numbers, Part+Sub-parts

Deletes the item numbers of individual parts. The item numbers of the sub-parts of an identified part are also deleted.

Delete item numbers, All

Deletes all item numbers of all steel engineering parts.

Convert to standard itemisation

With this function itemisations created in the mode Itemisation up to HiCAD 2017 can be converted to Standard Itemisation.

Important:

If you work with the Management + BIM module, please always observe the information given in the Management + BIM Online Help!

Please note:

Designation tags for sub-parts, bores and connections which are located on the reverse side of the main beam can now be identified by means of another line type. The setting is defined in the file STAB3DPAR.DAT (HiCAD SYS directory). The default setting in each case is 3..

Treatment of sub-parts/bores/connections in back side of main-profile:
Linetype(0-10) of designation tags of sub-part (0=default linetype, 1=continuous line)
3
Linetype(0-10) of designation tags of bores (0=default linetype, 1=continuous line)
3
Linetype(0-10) of designation tags of connections (0=default linetype, 1=continuous line)
3

To find parts within a defined range of item numbers, press CTRL+F or click the Find icon in the im ICN. Activate the Item number checkbox and define the required range of item numbers, e.g. 200 - 500. Furthermore, some item numbers can also be found with the help of the part filter.
