I do very few plans, sometimes none for a year, but when I start at the end of the project: I do it for one or two weeks. In fact from one time to the next I forget some things ;-)
I'm opening this thread because I'd probably ask several questions until all the shots are finished.
1°) Why are the o.c. dimensions made with the drilling assistance function not reproduced in the MEP? I don't mind that there is the Symbolic MDB style representation to signify the Ø and the depths but without a spacing dimension the workshop will make me notice "with a smile on my face" the lack of ribbing. I'm not going to re-quote by hand. What did I do wrong please
2°) In the plans, all the controlled dimensions appear in light grey. How to make sure that the lines are all in black whatever the dimension, piloted or not. Thank you
Hello, for point 2: select all your ribs and apply the color of your choice. (Dimension filter if necessary)
Don't forget that the default color when adding a dimension will be that of the active color in the color palette.
For one, no dimensions are created when the views are created. uses the dimensioning assistant . (by default all your dimensions are defined for the drawing so you should have a large part of the drawing side depending on the view)
For point 1: when you import your objects from the model you have to select the "Drilling assistance locations" box so that the center distance dimensions are imported into the plane:
For point 2: Normally this should work if all types of dimensions are defined to go to your layer dedicated to your dimension in Document Options/Properties:
However, I have the impression that I have respected your recommendations. It is as if it was the MDB display that made (which in fact renders) obsolete this detail in the other views in the name of the non-overloading of views. (See attachment .jpg )
There must be a parameter to choose: pear or cheese but not pear and cheese otherwise the annotation of the top view is sufficient. But the problem is that many workshops still use the old quotations.
The only point that remains unresolved is the impossibility of making a choice between the succinct dimension that appears in the top view and the front view that does not show the holes, which are tapped. If no solution I will do the simplest one (like the current drawing and I will explain to the machinist (upgrade).
Another question is how to have two arrows to indicate the two tapped holes (I don't remember how to have several arrows from a designation). Using Ctrl it gives me an error message when I want to do as shown here.
@Sylk it's normal because I haven't worked on the MEP yet, there are 3/4 of the dimensions that are useless. (By the way, even when I tell him not to put the odds in duplicate, he still puts them in the other views. Indeed, during the design I never indicate the dimensions that should not appear in the MEP (it's easier for me than a pure designer). So at the time of the MEP I do some cleaning and I add the missing dimensions (especially for the control of the Metrology). As I don't do a lot of MEP I don't try to be efficient on the subject, especially since the plans are only used once (never modification because always unique systems. Once the parts are made and assembled, I only do "book to the customer and forget" in other words, I don't do Prod' at all).
A very simple thing (as often) Part of the problem solved for the hidden edges. ==> in Display State and then ==> Display Style ==> For each view , all you had to do was select ==> Apparent Hidden Line.
"Another question is how to have two arrows to indicate the two tapped holes (I don't remember how to have several arrows from a designation). Using Ctrl it gives me an error message when I want to do as shown here."
What is this message? Are you absolutely sure that the holes are strictly the same diameter (rely on the values of the properties rather than the readable ones on the dimensions which can be truncated or rounded)?
