In contrast to the previous examples, assembly drawings and workshop drawings (instead of detail drawings) are to be created here.
Let's take a look at the following construction:
With the help of this example, the functions
Expand, Selection via HELiOS und
Revision index of a production drawing
will be explained in this chapter.
Step1: Create project / model drawing
- Create a project, e.g. EXAMPLE 5, with the function Management+BIM > Project > New
- Then, create a new model drawing file with the function Management+BIM > Drawing > New
- Insert the two beams, e.g. IPE 400 and connect them using the front pate connection 1211. Add a rectangular plate at the end of the shorter beam.
- Itemise the model drawing with the function Management+BIM > Parts > Item...
(we use the ISD default settings for Steel Engineering here) - Save the model drawing with the function Management+BIM > Drawing > Save
.
Step 2: Create the assembly and Workshop drawings
Now, the assembly drawings and one workshop drawing for each beam and plate are to be created.
. Note:
Since we want to create workshop drawings (instead of detail drawings) which contain only beams or plates, respectively, we use this function instead of automatic drawing derivation.
- HiCAD shows all parts and assemblies for which no drawings exist yet.
- Mark all entries in the list, click OK and confirm the displayed security prompt with Yes.
- Specify the settings for assembly drawings as shown below and click OK.
- HiCAD creates the assembly drawings and displays the parts for which no drawings exist yet.
- Again, mark all parts, click OK and confirm the displayed security prompt with Yes.
- Specify the settings for workshop drawing creation as shown below and click OK.
- Now, only the plates remain without drawing.
- Mark all plates, click OK and confirm the displayed security prompt with Yes.
- Specify the settings for workshop drawing creation for the plates as shown below and click OK.
- Now, all required drawings exist and are up to date.
- Then, release all drawings. To do this, choose Management+BIM > Workshop > Release
. Mark all entries and click OK.
Now, add another beam to the model drawing, - e.g. for a later connection. This new beam is to appear only in the workshop drawing for beams. In this case it will suffice to create a new revision index for the workshop drawing for beams with the Revision index of a production drawings function. You can then add the new beam to the workshop drawing with the new index and re-release the drawing.
Step 3: Add another beam to the model drawing
- Insert a new beam as shown below.
- Itemise the model drawing with the function Management+BIM > Parts > Item... (we use the ISD default settings for Steel Engineering here)
- Save the model drawing with the function Management+BIM > Drawing > Save .
Step 4: Expand workshop drawing for beams
The new beam is to appear only in the workshop drawing for beams. In this case it will suffice to create a new revision index with the Revision index of a production drawings function:
- Choose Management+BIM > Workshop > Change
> Revision index of a workshop drawing . In the selection window, choose the workshop drawing for the beams and click OK.
- If desired, you can enter an explanatory text for the revision index in the title block. Confirm with OK. The index of the workshop drawing will be set to a.
- Now, add the new beam in the workshop drawing. To do this, choose Workshop > Drawing >Selection via HELiOS .
- In the selection window, mark the new beam and click OK.
- Mark the workshop drawing for the beams and click OK.
- Now, the workshop drawing for the beams is up to date. Re-release the drawing by choosing Management+BIM > Workshop > Release , marking the workshop drawing and clicking OK.
