Similar label selection

Similar label selection

HI Developers,

 

We are finding that a great deal (majority) of drawing editing time is spent tidying up the position of the part labels. Especially in assemblies that have a lot (sometimes over a hundred) of items with the same mark.

 

Can we get a tool that either:

 

  • Selects all labels with the same mark in the view (not the whole drawing) based on a source selection. Then we could simply delete without having to manually select each one.
  • Automatically deletes all labels with the same mark in the view (not the whole drawing) based on a source selection (except for the source label) and then gives an option to add the total part count to the source label.

 

Thanks for considering.

It is already possible to add a total part count to the source label by adding the "Quantity" token. I agree a selection similar based on label content would be useful as you noted.

Thanks @Anonymous,

 

I knew about the quantity token, it just means an extra step, where I'm thinking that in most (if not all) cases where you used this tool you would want to add the quantity. Would make sense to automate it...

 

I'd be happy to write this tool, but no API on details... Smiley (traurig)

Whilst this is under review, I thought I'd provide some additional information in the hope that this might make the need for the function a bit clearer.

 

This is a partial material list for a current job we have.

Processing, selecting, moving etc 1987 labels (more, when considering individual views) is a massive job. Yes, this is an extreme case, but it happens a lot.

 

Furthermore, grouping the lables in DSM is not a good solution because it still puts a leader to each part which is not great. This and the fact that the assemblies are generally 40+ meters long with lots of internal (duplicating) plates along its length...

 

Thanks for considering.

Please make an option to select labels for identical parts, similar to Autocad command Select Similar, but only for identical part marks.

 

Below is an example of some 70-80 identical parts labeled, it takes time to delete, especially if same labels appear again and again during manual section view creation / update, after once have been deleted.

Hey Ilko,

 

This feature (or similar) was also requested on:

I think across all three threads, there should be enough interest for implementation. Will see...Smiley (zwinkernd)

Ok, ...please discard...

 

It is marked for 'future consideration' or something similar, who know where, when and how it will be implemented.

 

May be-it will be done first in Revit, after that 'we will think about Advance Steel'
