4.7.8.9.6.2. Configuration

In order to make an alternative size available in the 2-D derivation, the following prerequisites are necessary in the modeling process of the manufacturer:

  1. Entry under PARTproject -> Edit project -> tab page General1 -> section Alternative 2D size:

    1. Enter control variable

    2. Enter default value for control variable

    Alternative 2-D size

    Alternative 2-D size

  2. Expand table in PARTeditor:

    1. Apply an alternative value, which is entered as control variable in PARTproject (in the following example "HUB2D").

    2. Apply a column for the default value (XHUB)

    Columns for alternative dimension

    Columns for alternative dimension

  3. In the sketch apply the respective values dynamically with an IF condition.

    Example:

    IF HUB2D = 0 THEN HUB ELSE XHUB ENDIF

  4. Optionally you can assign an automatic dimensioning in the project directory in the customdimension.txt file.

      HORIZONTAL {
    PNT1 { CONPNT { "Bauteilname@Anfügepunktname" } }
    PNT2 { CONPNT { "Bauteilname@Anfügepunktname" } }
    POSITION { BBOXOFFSET{ 15 } }
    FONTHEIGHT { 3.5 }     
    TEXT { "{HUB}" }    
  }
