Drawing Process

[Anonymous]

Hi,

How to create multiple beam drawings from one selection in the model.

I want to stop all the beams from being on one sheet, Want one beam per sheet.

I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere....

Thank you.

Hi Muleman1,

Thanks for your response, but I have no idea what your trying to show me?

You will have to be more specific.

Cheers.

muleman1 showed in the pictures above a set of processes that allow you to create drawings for all beams, in an one per sheet system. 

You obtain all the beams on one sheet in your case because you are using a drawing style, which doesn't have the option to automatically split the drawings on multiple sheets. 

Those processes can be found in the Drawing Process palette, accessible from the "Output" ribbon tab.

Processes have two types of "Selections " : All and Selection. The "All" processes will not request any selection, and it will just detail all objects that match its criteria (e.g. an Assembly Beam process will take all assemblies where the main part is a beam and detail them). The "Selected" processes can perform the detailing on a pre-selection done by you in the model. You need to do this selection always before applying the process, otherwise the process will do nothing.

This is controlled via the drawing process, these are found inside the drawing process manager, there maybe some existing ones in place, which in the user part of that manager you can adjust copy.

For a single assembly on single sheet, the file name selector needs to have opition set to move onto the next assembly/main part , you will find this under the file name selector.

There are some nice videos on YouTube explain drawing process creation and methods to adjust etc.
