Set

 

 

 

 

This command allows you to define sets which will be referenced in the draft.

A set can be a document, part or assembly.

These sets are proposed during the main view creation.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select the command View > Set... from the drop-down menu.

 

Select the opened document to use.

The option "<non specified>" will create an empty set. The main views using this set will therefore be empty but it will then be possible to insert another set by editing the view set (right button on the view).

 

 

In the case the source document is an electrode document, the options of this section are different.

See chapter "Available options" for more details.

 

 

 

  • Assembly:

 allow to choose the final assembly of the exploded.

  • Mounting shapes :

allow to select a mounting shapes defined in the exploded files.

 

 

The set can be project by:

  • Representations:

The source document has different representations, The projection can only be done by selecting one of them (it is the default proposed option).

  • Entities:

Allows to select entities (parts, assemblies) to project.

If several entities with at least one of them has a different description have been selected, le description displayed in the title block will indicate "-".

  • Sets:

Allows to select one or more sets defined in the assembly document.

 

 

If the source document has several representations, select one to use.

 

 

If the source document has several configurations, select one to use.

 

 

If the document contains different configurations, this command allows you to select the configuration displayed in various strokes (for example, minimum, maximum, overall, ....)

 

 

When an exploded document is projected in a draft, the set to project can be the exploded or mounting stages.

 

 

The created set is called the main set when this command is first used in a draft document.

Information from this set that will be used to fill in the title block.

If the views created from this set are deleted, the main set is emptied and as a result, so is the title block information:

  • If there was another set in the document, it would automatically rise in the main set and the title block's information would be automatically modified.

  • Otherwise, when a new item is projected, the main set will automatically retrieve this source and the title block information will automatically be modified.

  • The sets following the main set will be named "Set 1", "Set 2", ...

 

If no document is open, you can still validate the dialog. The main views using this set will therefore be empty but it will then be possible to insert another set by editing the view set (right button on the view).

 

 

Available Options:

 

When the selected source document is an electrode document, the available options of this section are not the same.
It is possible to select the mode "Assembly" to keep the standard options of this section.
By selecting the mode "Electrode", you access to the following options:
  • Shapes to Erode: this option adds the shapes to erode into the view.
  • Check all electrodes: Allows to select all the electrodes of the source document.

 

If the option above is not activated,the list of the electrodes from the source document is displayed.
It is then possible to activate the following options individually for each electrodes:

  • Theorical positions: this options displays in the view all the instance of the selected electrode if it has been repeated in the source document.
  • Control points: Displays in the view the control points created in the electrode document.
  • Mandrels: Displays in the view the electrode mandrel if it has been included in the electrode document.

 

  • Source document: This option is available only if a filter by entities has been created in the source document. By default upon creation of the view, the entities are visible, this option must be checked to hide them.

  • Filter Documents: Open or locked filter documents will be listed. You must check the filter documents to use.

 

See help of the trim volume command for explanations about this option.

 

  • Project texts: This option allows you to get the texts from a Unfolding (Bend notes) or Drawing document.

  • Facetting: The faceted shapes resulting from an STL or IFC import are managed in exact projection mode. You can modify the quality of the local cross sections and limited views by adjusting the faceting tolerance.

 

Modifications / Additional information:

 

Through the Entities tree, it is possible to edit an existing set (right button on the set to be edited) to modify its source.
