How do I show imperial plate thickness with metric width and length in a BOM drawing list?

Posted Thu, 02 May 2013 00:48:21 GMT by Carsten Schwarz

The client I am working with would like all plates to be called out with imperial thickness(1/4") and metric width and length(200mm x 200mm). Is there a way to make it show up like this in the BOM or "list on drawings". Here is an example (1/4" x 200 x 200). Also can I make the the view titles for each single part plate show with mixed imperial and metric.

Thanks

Hello Carsten,

you can force any variable by using what is describe into this FAQ:

How can I define the units and precision for a single label?

depending on which version of the software you use, you can modify the plate name in the "Management Tool" or in the "Graitec Advance Manager" in the default, type down "plate" under "drawing general" you should be able to find "Folded beam/Plate Name" where you can apply what is describe in the FAQ.
