automatic drawing boards

[tanticapelli]

Hello everyone

Forgive me if I resume a subject already dealt with but in the discussions I found there were no answers I was looking for.

I have a serious problem with a supplier that now requires me to create drawings of all the perforated tubes I sent to him in step.

it is about 150 types. . .

to avoid making mistakes I would simply import the step files that I sent to the supplier (they are independent and are not susceptible to any involuntaries

moving holes caused by activation/disactivation of external references) and creating relative designs with appropriate automatic views and quotations to speed the most

possible process.

I would like to know, before I venture, if this procedure can be corrected and if possibly there is a faster system:

1) I open the step file of each tube with automatic recognition of functions (if I do not proceed to the recognition of functions I think the automatic quotation of the design

non-competitive functions);

2) I create a new design of the part with appropriate views;

3) start the automatic quotation function through the "smart quotation" button (problem! why the quotation is activated only and exclusively on one of the 4/5 views present in the sheet? ? ? )

4) Once I complete the table I make copy and paste of the sheet then I go on the new sheet and from the parent view I make "replace pattern" (dx button) and change the reference of the part file so in theory the table should already be in place.

that you know there is a better method than this?

Thank you all!

I'm sorry, but it's not that trivial.
1 The reconstruction of functions is not said to respond to your needs. if you have straight tubes maybe makes sense, but if you start having curves or shifts on 3 floors are pains and you can not know how to rebuild it; if it creates splines the quotation becomes problematic.
3 the automatic quotation (which also works sena reconstruction of the functions) you share according to the parameters imposed on him in the property manager, but it is not said that then they are efficient and you have to check them to eliminate or add those that will serve the construction of the piece. on a straight tube with only diameter can work, but on more complex parts with multiple views I would not be so optimistic (take any tube and do a test).
4 no because the piece is not configured therefore the entities of the parts will not be the same and will release all the quotas that you will have to remit. each tube has faces, edges, points, etc. that for you looking at it are equal, but that solid identifies with names (improper term I believe). if you always use the same file to make copies with different sizes these entities will always be the same (e.g. edge z of face to revolution k), but if you make it identical again you will have edge x of face b of revolution l; the share does not find the identical identifiers and it is released.

give you a possible method without presenting the files is difficult, but if they are similar you could think of making them configured where it makes sense to make a table quote well manually and then copy it by replacing the configuration

Great! !

and all because the supplier has produced me the tubes without scoring thecronyms on each of them...
next time I make him make an engraving directly from the car so he doesn't run away!

Thank you.
