Hello 

Is it posibble to define drawing name (in*.frm file) that will include group area class name

I'm using detail center express and single sheet output  (one group on one drawing)

  • Hello Sandip

    Right now i do like this:

    I change group name to which I want. for ex. "beam" or "column"

    then I use positioning to define position number - for ex. "B5,B6...etc"

    Now, through detail center express I generate single sheet drawings - and drawing name is "beam B6"

    Drawing name, is combination of ObjectNameSymbol and GroupPositionNumberSymbol (see attachment)

    I would like to use partfamilies now. Is is possible to use part family name instead of ObjectNameSymbol in drawing name creation ?

  • Hello Ama, 

    Thanks for explanation your requirement.

    The Area Class can be called out in drawing name. Please follow the below Steps: 

    1. First filter out your required area for which you want to create drawings using search parts tool. E.g you are going to create drawings for Low Roof Area or in short we can say (LRA)
    2. Open Detail Center Express tool and by clicking next button go to  Fill out Title Block page. Type LRA for Low Roof Area in User Variable tab.

     

     3. Come back two step left by clicking back button to Single Sheet output page. Click browse button of Border         Frame File to open the ".frm" files. Open the file in notepad in which you want to modify. Now do the below       changes in that file.

     Change the file and save.

     4. Now create the drawings. Drawing name will come as LRA_B6. 

    Please note that for multiple areas you need to change the name in User variable tab.

    Try this. You will get the result. 

    Please let us know if you come across any further issue

    Looking forward to your update.
