Create GA Drawings with Section Sizes
Accepted solution
Using cameras will allow you to generate multiple elevations on one sheet, if
- the process is configured with "Page Full" close sheet criteria. Typically this "Page Full" mention will be part of the out of the box process naming, but you can also check this in the Drawing Process Manager / Filename selector.
- the views are small enough so they fit. This close page mechanism, when set on "Page full", will place one view on the sheet, and then when placing the second one - it will check for available room (this is checked in between the prototype frame). If there isn't enough room, it will go and create a new sheet.
If you need to "force" multiple elevations on the same sheet, you can create the views manually, using a dedicated style from Drawing Style Manager. This can ask you to select the camera, create the drawing, and when selecting the next camera, you can choose to place it on an existing sheet (instead of a new one). Using this method you can add as many views as you want, as Advance Steel will no longer check for available space.
Regarding the material section name in the object tags, on the elevation views. This is a configuration request, and it would be good for me to know what language&content installation of Advance Steel you use. The section name appears in a label if you configure the token "Name".
Please note that on English US, the Elevation - Full drawing style will create the section names by default. The only case where it doesn't show it, is if the model is not numbered (in this case the object presentation responsible for detailing beams without part marks has the labeling strategy set to "Off").
