ESTmep: Request for Item Type Duct adjustment

ESTmep: Request for Item Type Duct adjustment

We require a straight duct with a specified length longer than a standard decoiled straight, that will be automatically divided into decoiled straights and cut-type straights. 

 

When estimating a total length of duct run for instance, this will have to be pre-measured by the operator stating the amount of decoiled straights and remaining length of cut type straight. This takes a lot of time and would be more productive if it was automated.

 

As per case no: 22626986 you replied the following:

 

"When a straight duct is added, it is considered as 1 single item to be developed. So, whatever the length is provided, the cut type is determined just once based on that. Also, when Item qty is increased, it acts as a multiplier of the length value, and thus does not change the Cut-type accordingly.
For example, if the length is set as 1000mm and the qty is 10, it will show the total qty/length as 10,000mm, but will also nest all the duct pieces."
