Exporting CAM data

Mon, 07 Feb 2011 13:51:56 GMT – Exporting CAM data

I tried that after renumbering the model, the drawings have been generated, model extracts have been made, but I get an error message that reads "Errors in NC creation process: No NC files were created for the current style."
We are evaluating the beta download for the website if that makes any difference.

Thanks

We have a NC machine here that will only accept CAM data. How do I do that?

Dual Dimensions

Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:15:04 GMT – Dual Dimensions

In the attached file, I have dual dimensioning turned on. In the dimension that I manually entered, I can get the alternate dimension to appear below the primary dimension. Using the same settings for an AS generated dimension, the alternate dimension appears after the primary dimension on the same line. Different settings in the DImensions Style Format in AutoCAD has no effect on the placement of the Alternate dimension. Is there a way to get the alternate dimension below the Primary on AS generated dimensions?

Creating BOM lists on Shop Drawings for the entire model.

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 23:16:45 GMT – Creating BOM lists on Shop Drawings for the entire model.

Please notice the attached shop drawing. This drawing shows what is a typical method that my company uses currently. Notice the tables with the letters that correspond to dimensions in the views. This method allows us to detail several structures on one sheet without having to do 1 sheet per structure. This is also a big time saver. Is something similar to this method possible in Advance Steel?

Thanks

Thank-you, I'll check that out to see if that will work with the inventory software. I would be creating model list extract, probably "material list summary", in either .xls or .xml, which the inventory software will then extract the information it needs from that.

On a side note... in the AstorBase:SETNUTSBOLTS, there is a column called "positionsnummer" . What is this and what is it used for?

Sorry, i didn't mean a picture of a bolt. I meant have all the site bolts in the model listed in the BOM on one shop drawing.

Sorry for the confusion.

Can all the site bolts for the model be shown on one shop drawings. I understand that all the anchors in 2011 can be shown now on one drawing.

Thanks

Assigning codes to Bolts, Nuts and Washers

This question may have come to you already through Dan and Eddie. My company assigns products codes to all material to work with purchasing and inventory ect. These codes are also assigned to all bolts, nuts and washers.Assigning these codes to most everything in the model is easy with the user attributes and some other methods, and I can get a code assigned to the bolts with the same method, but is there a way to get these codes on the nuts and washers. Maybe an additional column the SetNutBolts of the Astorbase, something that can be shown on the BOM.

Thanks.
Bill
