Documentation created with Advance Steel 2014 per typical Australian requirements:
A4 material list, A4 saw cut list with picture (includes automatically mapped plates to flat bars), A4 purlin bridging list, A4 fastener list, A4 anchor list, GA Excel BOM list on drawing, NC DXF plates, NC DSTV sections. GA ISO view with auto ‘detail references’ / RL’s / weld symbols, GA ISO ‘hot rolled only’ view, GA ISO ‘cold rolled only’ view, GA ISO schematic view with either aligned or leader labels, GA anchor plan with either auto linear or ordinate dimensions, GA anchor plan base plate details with ‘TYPE’ and ‘RL’ base plate markings, GA elevation with section name assembly labels, GA detail views with section name single part labels, manual linear dimensions, section detail cut from elevation drawing, manually inserted running sloped dimensions, manually inserted slope symbol, assembly drawings for wind bracing / beam ties / EA bracing / rafters / columns / gable columns / curved beams, single part drawings for Z &C purlins / beams / curved beams / plates. Other advanced techniques include combining manual purlin prefixing with automated prefixing, auto numbering with a post process, setting the part CS (Coordinate System) for purlins so that they orientate consistently on the drawings, changing the GAM to allow duplicate details – then forcing a rafter ISO view complete with labels and welds symbols onto the related established drawing.
In total x94 very detailed drawings are created + x14 BOM list pages + x6 DXF plate drawings + x28 NC DSTV sections – in approx. 35minutes ‘real time’.
