    Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, ich habe zum Thema Gewindebohrungen einen Verbesserungsvorschlag. (siehe Bilder)   Um eine Gewindebohrung zu erzeugen wähle ich die Garnitur "ohne".         Da ich den Kerndurchmesser nicht vor einstellen, muss ich Ihn per Hand eingeben.       Unter den Management Tools unter Schrauben, brächte es im Reiter Löcher noch einen Punkt mit Kerndurchmesser. So könnte man für jede Größe den Kerndurchmesser sauber einstellen.   Show More

When we manually add welds, AS is remembering last used settings. So it will be nice feature if we have option to save several predefined weld settings? Show More

Hello,   It will be helpful if we can align detail view and / or to rotate it at ANY angle, not just at 90 / 180 degrees.   Regards,   Ilko Dimitrov Show More

Sorry this is a bit longwinded, but I ned to explain a few things before my actual request, so bear with me 🙂   I work in different ways depending on client wishes or the nature of the project, but generally if numbers are NOT shared between LOTs (i.e. consider LOT for numbering), I will create a sub folder under the "Details" forlder for each LOT.  e.g. LOT1, LOT2 etc so it is easy to identify the drawings for a particular lot. I achieve this by moving them after creating the details for each lot and re-registering the details.  This works well.   However it would be nice to automate this. It is partially possible by editing the Drawing Process Filename Selector and using the LOT token as part of the file path. This works well too, but on some projects if there is much repetition between LOTs I want to share the same part numbers between lots (i.e. not consider LOT for numbering) and then use another field such as a User Attribute to split into Phases and then consider this for numbering instead of the Lot.   In this case I would then want to use this UserAttribute token (which could be any of UserAttributes 1-10) as part of my process file path but the tokens available in the dropdown list (in the Drawing Process Filename Selector) are limited and any manually entered tokens do not work. See attached screenshot example.   ....so my request is to have ALL relevant tokens available for use in Drawing Process Filename Selector to facilitate automatic creattion of sub folders for details.   Show More

Hi     Plates should have an optional property "surface" as graitings have. There are plates available that have two different sides. Because there is not surface or side property for plates that can be used in modelling and numbering, Parts that are not identical because of their side orientation may get get detected as identical in numbering and get the same number. User shave to use workarounds like weldmarks that may cause that identical plates because of their weldmark position do not get the same number......     BR, Christian Blei    Show More

When we generate some views, single parts etc.. I think very usefull option will be to lock the position of the view in the layout so when next time i use the "rearrange all details" command theese locked details will keep their positon of the layout... Show More

Hello,   Currently we do not have an option to assign preliminary numbers per shape, size, thickness order.   The submitted advance BOM to fabricators if sorted per preliminary mark it will look with shapes and thicknesses messed up everywhere.   If ABOM is sorted per name, then the preliminarty numbers are all over the place, and this is in  contradiction to many fabricators' practice to reference the preliminary number to trace what was purchased etc.   There should be an otion to assign preliminary numbers in order the material list is created -sorted per name, length, thickness, with preliminary numbers following same sequence.   Currently we are selecting all angles, or all W-shapes and run the numbering assigning preliminary numbers as close as possible per name, length, thickness etc. and it is a time consuming process.   Regards,   Ilko Dimitrov       Show More

  It would be so nice if we could pull off projected views or isometric views in our drawings:   Show More

HI All,   We currently have the details coming out with 1/label per item (although sometimes it seems to group lables, and I'm not really sure why...). Imagining a rafter with several purlin cleats, I'd like a tool whereby you can, by selecting say one of the labels pointing to a purlin cleat, it automatically deletes all other labels with the same mark in the view (not the whole drawing) and modifies the selected label to include the quantity in the assembly (turns say f1000 into 6/f1000).   Hope that makes sense!   Thanks for considering...

All items on drawings are labelled with the default DimStyle. I would like to label holes without an arrow on the leader line, but use an arrow for labelling parts. ...so some new MT defaults to set required DimStyle would be good. Show More

Currently the only way to select Standalone parts is from the ribbon button: Mark Loose Parts (_AstM4CommStandaloneParts)   However, this marks the standalone parts in the whole model (even if you have a selection of objects), which is very inconvenient when you are working with part of the model and I feel is a very large oversight in the functionality of the software.   1.  I want this function to work on the whole model if nothing is selected or just on the currently selected objects if you have a selection.   2.  I also want the "Search and mark objects" tool (which is also used for Queries) to have an option for standalone parts (or to exclude standalone parts).

Hello,   it would be great to have an option to change the direction of the level symbol in drawings.   Greetings   Jörg Show More

Hallo!   Ich bin heute wieder einen halben Tag beschäftigt gewesen eine sinnvolle Positionierung zu erstellen (für 41 to Stahlbau). Es würde mich freuen, wenn man an einer Maske vorbeigeführt wird, auf der man wählen kann, was Priorität hat. Nur die Stückzahl ist mir nicht wichtig, weil das häufig nur keine Bauteile sind. Das Gewicht, die Profilgruppe und die Länge sind mir wichtiger.   Viele Grüße Torsten Däbler Show More

Noticed several ideas here about clone and duplicate options, but would like to take this a bit further.   creating drawings for parts , assemblies normally links to model objects that link to model roles.   So if basic drawing is created of the element from the model, then drawing is edited to suitable colours, and presentation configurations, also labelling and dimensioning of the assembly, part.    These elements then form the basis of the style typically used to be the standard reference, the points used for dimensions could be extracted, the object types labelled could be identified.  With all these references the system could then extract this data and us it to create a style in the drawing style manager, thus storing that configuration.   With this stored in the DSM, this style could then be used to link to defined drawing process, that would use correct prototype and file naming rules etc.   in test mode of the style, allow some form of dimension identification against the rules created, so it can be tested and altered, like a flag that can be turned on for testing.   Same for label types as well. This would show as a series of pop up labels,(tool tip) or be turned on all the time whilst in developer mode.   The process could also work for arrangements drawings, so taking basic plans and elevations, the user can quickly create a base set of styles , this would also help with the control of dimension and label rules within GA's   With these options in place, users could create basic drawing styles sets based upon there personal requirements, with out needing an in depth understanding of the DSM.         Show More
