Steel Engineering plates - development length and width
For Steel Engineering plates, the length, width and height are internally assigned to the attributes Development length §L2D, Development width §B2D and Sheet thickness §T2D. In this way, uniform bills of materials can be generated for Sheet Metal parts and Steel Engineering plates. In contrast to Sheet Metal parts, the values are calculated automatically, i.e. the settings for Sheet Metal parts in the Configuration Editor at Modelling > Part properties do not apply to Steel Engineering plates. For drawings saved before HiCAD 2023 SP2 (V. 2802), a feature recalculation must be performed so that the values are calculated.
