I would like the option to either:
A: Convert Flat Bar into Plate in Advance steel.
or
B: Option to treat Flat Bar like Plate. For Naming and DXF output. (refactoring is painful - or could just be my lack of experience in this area - this is very easy in Tekla, is just one option and all flat bars are called Plates - but are still flat bars)
Flat Bars have certain advantages in modeling for efficiency and easy size changes etc but when it comes to BOM and DXF output these are far from Ideal.
Flat Bars need an option for single side DXF output as per plates. (or would work if treated as plates) at the moment we are having to open every DXF file and delete everything but the front view which is painful and time-consuming.
The vast majority of our fabricators cut plates from DXF files and do not use Flat Bars.
