Export Production Documents for Third Parties (ManBIM)

Management + BIM > Production

The Export... section of the Production

pull-down menu provides functions that allow a passing of production drawings managed in HELiOS to third parties. The following formats are available:

Parts

Use the following functions to export external file formats of parts managed in HELiOS. The exported files are not linked to HELiOS and can therefore be conveniently passed to third parties. Select the desired files and exit the HELiOS search mask with OK. Then, specify a folder for the storage of these files.

The following options are available:

DSTV-NC data

NCW data

Please note that two same-named files (*.NCW und *.DXF) will be created for the NCW export.

DXF data

STEP data

Drawings

Use the following functions to export external file formats of production drawings managed in HELiOS. The exported files are not linked to HELiOS and can therefore be conveniently passed to third parties. Select the desired files and exit the HELiOS search mask with OK. Then, specify a folder for the storage of these files.

The following functions are available:

DXF data

DWG data

PDF data

The above functions require the existence of the corresponding files in HELiOS. For instance, if you want to pass a production drawing in the PDF format to a third party, a corresponding PDF document needs to exist in HELiOS when you call the function. The same applies to external file formats of the parts.

DSTV-NC, NCW, DXF and STEP documents for parts are created with the Production function.

Depending on the setting in the Configuration Editor, PDF, DWG and DXF documents for drawings will be created upon creation/updating of drawings, or upon Checkup/Release of drawings.

The created production documents will be stored in various sub-folders in HELiOS, sorted by their formats, e.g.:
