Function Group: Itemisation/Detailing

Drawing > Itemisation/Detailing

The Itemisation/Detailing function group of the Drawing tab contains functions for part itemisation, which is a prerequisite for the creation of production documents and Bills of Materials (BOMs). In addition, functions for the generation of Steel Engineering workshop and detail drawings are provided. Besides the option to manually assign item numbers with the functions of the Dimensioning + Text tabs, HiCAD also enables an automatic itemisation of BOM-relevant 3-D parts.

Also, you will find functions for the generation of production drawings and mounting drawings and Bills of Materials here.
