Drawing management

Letzte Änderung: 06.09.2023


Overview



In diesem Video zeige ich wie man im Modul “Drawing management” ein neues Projekt anlegt.

During the process, the following mask appears, which can be customized as desired using the mask editor. You can adjust it to your individual requirements and font headers.

These masks were adapted by me and do not look like the masks in the standard delivery.


Create drawing



The automatic manufacturing drawing generation command function is extremely useful, as it places each part on a plan. This is undoubtedly an efficient way to create drawings. As you mentioned, there is also the option to put multiple parts on one plan, which is an interesting approach. This seems to be a versatile and informative video that introduces different methods for creating drawings in HiCAD and HELiOS.

In my view, this method of creating drawings offers a considerable advantage. By using drawing numbers, one immediately receives information about in which assembly the respective part is installed. In addition, the drawing number provides information about which project this part is used in, as well as in which construction stage and production stage it is located.

However, it is important to emphasize that this is only one of many ways in which this configuration can be done.

You are absolutely right. The ability to customize these settings to fit the way you work in your company is extremely valuable. Each way of working has its advantages and disadvantages, and it's important to choose the one that best fits your needs and goals. In your case, the customized settings offer numerous advantages. And regarding the disadvantage of having to print out many schedules, there are certainly alternative solutions that can be considered to overcome this challenge.


Update manufacturing drawings



The release function allows you to release individual parts or assemblies for manufacturing or production. This is a basic requirement for assigning an index to drawings or parts.


modification



Die Bezeichnung “Allgemeine Dokumente” bezieht sich auf die PDFs von Freigabeplänen oder Ansichtszeichnungen. In diesem Video wird gezeigt, wie Sie auch diese Dokumente mithilfe der Zeichnungsverwaltung verwalten und aktualisieren können. Dies ist eine wichtige Funktion, um sicherzustellen, dass alle Dokumente auf dem neuesten Stand sind.

The settings for these functions can be found in the configuration. Here you can adjust the corresponding options and define how the management of the general documents should be performed.


Generate plan list



The General Documents video explains how the management of these documents works. In particular, it highlights an area where the default list for the document type is displayed. In your case, this list is already occupied with predefined attributes. The video shows how you can define this assignment in advance.


Manage multiple sheets



Derive drawings ( copy ) from other projects


Die Funktion “Helios-Artikelstämme ableiten – Auswahl über HELiOS” ist darauf ausgerichtet, Baugruppen, die bereits in einem anderen Projekt verwendet und für die Werkstättenzeichnungen erstellt wurden, in ein neues Projekt zu kopieren. Mit dieser Funktion kann eine Baugruppe in das bestehende Projekt kopiert werden, wobei auch die bereits im vorherigen Projekt erstellte Zeichnung mit übernommen wird. Dies erleichtert die Wiederverwendung von Baugruppen und den zugehörigen Dokumenten in verschiedenen Projekten.

It is important to note that you can use parameterized elements, as you demonstrate in this video. An example of this is your panel, which can be used as both a glass panel and a sheet metal panel. Creating the drawings in the desired shape beforehand allows you to use variants in new projects. When you copy these variants into a new project and create the drawings, they are automatically adjusted according to the parameters you set. This greatly facilitates the customization and reuse of elements.
