What is the best way to create 2D drawings in AECOSIM ss6 (with member labels and gridline)

Hi, Can somebody tell me what was the best way to create 2 drawings in Aecosim, I dont know if this program just really complicated or its just really a buggy programs. I know there is two option can create drawings. 1) "drawing composition" in this option when creating elevation drawings the gridline and elevation description are automatically generated the program, but in this option manipulating the "view attributes" to turn off grid, to turn on labels IS NOT WORKING, is not updating the drawing in the SHEETS. 2) "Drawing Manager" in this option - there is no option to create GRIDLINE in the elevation drawings.

  • The recommended workflow for most cases would be Drawing Composition; i.e., Drawing Views. Drawing (Extraction) Manager is a much older technology that while viable, is a much different process and not real-time in any fashion. Plus there haven't been any development changes or enhancements for a few years now since DVs are our direction forward.

    I would first focus on the stumbling blocks you're finding in the DV workflow and go from there. Can you elaborate on those specific aspects? I think you'll find most users have been and are still doing the things you've described so there must be something more to it.
