Select in model and visible drawing view in document manager

[vuongbui.nuce]

hi everyone,

i have a problem when i work with big project. i have many assemblies and single parts. when i need print some assemblies i have to select each drawing add to batch print, easy to get misstake. Can we have a way to select one beam in model and mark drawing (assembly or single part ) for that beam? easy to control model and drawing? thanks for your answer.

Hi @vuongbui.nuce,

you can't select a drawing via model. What you can only see in the model is which drawing contains which main / single parts - whether via Document Manager or via Model Browser.

Single parts in Model Browser:

Main parts in Model browser:

If you have reasonably named drawings (definition in processes), then you will not have a problem with printing, regardless of whether via batch plot or publishing (open as many drawings as you need and then use PUBLISH to print them in the required format at once). Try changing the order of the information in the name of the drawing so that you can see them sorted in the Document manager, that might help for your case. 

Unfortunately, Advance Steel cannot create and operate with subassemblies, which would be the best.

 ... and you can still open the single / main part / GA drawing via right click on part and select what you need to open...

in fact by this way, my problem be solved. But if Dev team of Ads can select a drawing via model. it could be nice!
