Autogeneration of drawings

[Berglid]

Hi,

Got another macro request that will work well with batch+. A macro that loops through all or selected files and creates drawing.

Some links that could be helpfull:

• Example of a similar macro
• Import of model dimensions/dimXpert
• Setting up template with standard views, and auto arrange dimensions

Additional features

• Import dimensions from dimXpert as default. If dimXpert dimensions have not been added model dimensions is used instead
• Edit Bom-template and drawing template file location in macro
• Different behavior for assemblies
  • Bounding box dimensions, BOM and baloons are added.
• Different behavior for weldments/multibody part (have not thought this through, and will be alot more complex, can come with more suggestions on a later stage)
  • First sheet: bounding box dimensions, BOM/cut-list and ballons are added
  • Create new sheets for each body ( or group 2-4 bodies in each sheet)
  • Link all sheets and drawing view to first view, and add baloon to each body in the different sheets
  • Sheet metal parts
    • ...
  • Weldment profiles
    • ...
  • "regular" bodies
    • ....

Similar to my other request, some parts should be excluded.

• toolbox components and step files by default.
• Any parts/assemblies placed in a folder with a certain name. A list of folder names is defined in the macro (not case sensitive) that are excluded from the macro
