Itemisation/Detailing

Drawing > Itemisation/Detailing

Clear, easy-to-understand technical drawings, e.g. workshop drawings, general drawings or production drawings, mounting drawings and detail drawings are essential for reliable planning and production. And bills of materials (BOMs) are a central communication medium for all entities involved in the production process. They provide information about the parts that make up a product - stating the number, designation, position and other information.

A prerequisite for the creation of workshop drawings and BOMs is the itemisation of parts and assemblies.

The functions for itemisation and for deriving drawings and creating BOMs can be found on the Drawing tab in the Itemisation/Detailing function group.

	Itemisation	Automatically assigns item numbers to all parts, using the current Parameter Settings. Itemisation is required for the creation of workshop drawings and detail drawings.
	Drawing derivation	Automatic creation of workshop drawings and detail drawings.
	Mounting drawing	Creation, expansion and modification of mounting drawings for Steel Engineering model drawings.
	Rules for AutoDimensioning in derived drawings, for dimensioning type 'Dimensioning rules'	Settings for auto-dimensioning in derived drawings
	Edit part annotation templates	Adjustments of derived drawings, e.g. for part annotation, the assignment of article and document attributes, dimensioning rules etc.
	Bill of Materials (BOM)	Automatic creation of Bills of Materials (BOMs).
