DSTV FILE DIRECTION

DSTV FILE DIRECTION

I am surprised this has not already been addressed, but when the direction of the part produced with the DSTV file does not match the direction as shown on the shop detail it causes our shop a lot headache. I do my best to model beams the correct direction but on larger projects and those with skewed beams it is difficult to keep track of how any particular beam was created and there is nothing (to my knowledge) in the model that tells me the direction the DSTV is produced. It would be very helpful to not have to deal with this. To feed our machines the dstv files I have to review each file in another program and rotate as needed. This time consuming process. Curious if this will be addressed by Autodesk and how other shops deal with this.

This is a massive issue, especially with things like c/sunk holes or bends on plates. We MUST get control over the view direction of the part.

My understanding is that, by default, the DSTV CS is placed at the beam start point, with X-axis along the beam, and with Y axis on the section height (i.e. the same as the Advance Steel CS shown in the model). But when a non-symmetrical profile such as a C-section is mirrored, the "Front" face is actually on the other side according to NC standard. So, in order to respect the correct orientation, the DSTV CS is moved to the other end of the beam (i.e. the "start" point" becomes "end point” of the beam). For this reason, I am currently ‘un-mirroring’ all mirrored main members in the model and rotating them 180 degrees if necessary so that the DSTV CS is the same as the Advance Steel CS. I would be more than happy to be corrected on this if I am wrong, or advised of a better approach to handling this.
