Templates, Attribute Assignment

Steel Engineering > Further functions > Settings > Templates, Attribute assignment

Use this function to adjust the templates for attribute assignment

for Document and Drawing Management for Civil Engineering (Management + BIM) and
for DSTV-NC Export.

Templates for attribute assignment - Management + BIM

If you are using Document and Drawing Management for Civil Engineering (Management + BIM), you have the option to create the HELiOS attributes BENENNUNG (Designation) and SACHNUMMER (Article number) of the part drawings from templates files. For this to happen, open the Configuration Editor, choose PDM > Management + BIM > Production drawings and set the Create HELiOS attributes from FTD file to Yes (Default). These templates can be adjusted individually with the Templates, Attribute assignment function.

Furthermore, you can determine the templates for individual drawing numbers of production drawings and mounting drawings as well for individual item numbers here. For this to happen, specify the number of digits for the parameter Generate n-digit drawing number in the Configuration Editor at PDM > Management + BIM > Production drawings (or PDM > Management + BIM, respectively).

The templates for attribute assignment for DSTV-NC export are also FTD files; they are located in the sys directory of your HiCAD installation. Supplied with HiCAD are the templates listed below:

BIM_PDM_WSD_SteelPlate_ArticleNumber.ftd	Configuration of the HELiOS document attribute SACHNUMMER (Article number) for part drawings of Steel Engineering plates	{Total quantity(Part attribute)} x {Article number (Part attribute)} x{Length (Part attribute)} x{Width(Part attribute)}
BIM_PDM_WSD_SteelPlate_Designation.ftd	Configuration of the HELiOS document attribute BENENNUNG (Designation) for part drawings of Steel Engineering plates	%TS(TEXTE_STB401) {Item number (Part attribute)}

To edit one of the templates, click on the symbol in the corresponding row. The same dialogue window as the one for the 3-D function Change annotation settings will be displayed. Change the template as required and confirm with OK.

Templates for attribute assignment - DSTV-NC export

For DSTV-NC export, too, you can use template files for the composition of the drawing number, part number, item number or order number and adjust them individually.

If you want these template files to be considered, you need to set the option From template file in the DSTV-NC interface dialogue window as shown below:

The templates for attribute assignment for DSTV-NC export are FTD files, too; they are located in the sys directory of your HiCAD installation. Supplied with HiCAD are the templates listed below:

Templates file	Settings for	Pre-setting
DSTV_NC_Ordernumbertext .FTD	Order number	%TS(TEXTE760) %TS(TEXTE760) stands for the content of the text key TEXTE760, which is the text Order number:
DSTV_NC_Drawingnumbertext .FTd	Drawing number	%TS(TEXTE1AN113) %TS(TEXTE1AN113) stands for the content of the text key TEXTE1AN113 which is the text Drawing number:
DSTV_NC_H_Itemnumbertext .FTd	Item number for main parts	{Item number (Part attribute)}
DSTV_NC_H_Partnumbertext .FTd	Paert number for main parts	not allocated
