When generating and inserting the 2D drawings, you may need to add position flags for parts of main parts, groups or sub parts, that you may have skipped during the detailing procedure in the 2D Detail Center. You can still insert the position flags after your drawing has been inserted by the Positioning tool. You can also create a flag with your custom data to display excluding the position numbers. This document will guide you on how to insert position manually after you have already created a 2D drawing and inserted the same.
Enter methods to resolve in this section.1) Generate a 2D drawing via the 2D Detail Center and insert the same in a file. 2) Now, click on Steel > Drawing Production > Positioning. 3) In the Positionflags and Positioning dialog box, click on the Insert tab. 4) With the Set Default Styles button, you can set up the Position Flag styles for Single Parts, Groups, Sub groups, Assemblies and others.
