Parts / Drawings

No production drawing exists for the part.

A production drawing exists for the part. The production drawing is up to date.

A production drawing exists, but it is not up to date.

• The part in question is an "unprocessed" beam.
  In this case the link will only be created if the parameter Production drawing for unprocessed beams in the Configuration Editor (PDM > Management+BIM > ...) is set to No.

or

• The part in question is a structure assembly.

The production drawing has the Workflow status Checkup.

The permissions to change or delete the parts or drawings will be withdrawn until the checkup status will be reset.

The production drawing has the Workflow status Released.

After Release the permissions to change or delete the parts or drawings will be withdrawn, i.e. the parts in the model drawing can no longer be changed.

The mounting drawing is up to date.

The mounting drawing has the Workflow status Checkup.

The permissions to change or delete the parts or drawings will be withdrawn until the checkup status will be reset.

The mounting drawing has the Workflow status Released.

After Release the permissions to change or delete the parts or drawings will be withdrawn, i.e. the parts in the model drawing can no longer be changed.

The customer drawing is up to date.

The mounting drawing is not up to date.

The customer drawing has the Workflow status Checkup.

The customer drawing has the Workflow status Released.

In contrast to the release of production and mounting drawings the release of customer drawings does not lead to a locking of the corresponding parts in the model drawing. This means that if the parts of the customer drawing are not part of a released production drawing and mounting drawing, these parts will not be locked in the model drawing.

In this context please also read the information given in the Customer Drawings topic.

Part of a customer drawing.

The part has an item number.

When you delete objects in a model drawing that is managed via the Management+BIM module, they will be removed from the drawing. When you then save the drawing, the corresponding data records of the deleted objects will be assigned the link type "Deleted". To remove the die associated drawing, select it and confirm with OK when updating the drawings.

The model contains no old referenced parts.

External part data

Depending on the settings in the Configuration Editor and after executing the functions in the Production function group, these links will be assigned to beams and plates in the model drawing.

For the NCW output two same-named files (*.NCW and *.DXF) will be created. These files have the same document number and are linked to each other via the "NCF-DXF data" link. To be able to distinguish the documents they are assigned the Sheet number 1 (NCW) and 2 (DXF), respectively. When the attribute Document type is added in the the HELiOS result list the different will become apparent.

External drawing data

In contrast to the documents for the individual beams and plates, the PDF, DXF and DWG files for production drawings can be automatically created - either upon checkup, or upon release, or upon creating and updating of the drawing.
