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.
	Define front view for derived drawings	Determines whether the active view should be considered as the Front view during drawing derivation. This influences the alignment of assemblies, parts, beams and sheets in the drawing derivation as well as the pipeline isometry and pipe spool drawings.
	Drawing derivation	Automatic creation of workshop drawings and detail drawings.
	Insert drawing frame	Inserts a drawing frame - according to DIN and with title block.
	Bill of Materials (BOM)	Automatic creation of Bills of Materials (BOMs).
