Example 1 - Step 10: Change Released Drawings (ManBIM)

The drawings from our example have been released. Let us assume that you now want to insert two bores into the middle beam that is currently locked against further processing.

If you now try to process the beam, the following message will be displayed:

Instead, proceed as follows:

1. Activate the beam into which you want to insert the bores.
2. Select Management + BIM > Drawing > Change .
3. HiCAD will then prompt you to enter a text for the revision index in the title block. (Default: "Change").
4. After closing the Text Editor, the status for all drawings belonging to the beam will be reset from "Released" to "In progress"The title block will obtain a corresponding note and the revision index will be set automatically.

• The beam can now be processed. In our example, we will use the function 3-D Standard > Standard Processings > Through hole, variable to insert the bores.

• Switch to the Management+BIM tab again. First select Itemise and then Save.
• The detail drawings that are affected by the change need to be updated now. For this you use the Create/Update - Manual function.

The drawings which are not up to date will be listed:

Mark the items and select OK. Confirm the security prompt with Yes. The drawings will then be updated. As you chose the setting Create revision clouds: In front view and top view, the changes in the drawing will be marked by revision clouds:

8. To release the changed drawings again, use the Release function.
