Overwrite Existing
|
Existing position numbers are overwritten when
assigning new ones.
|
Equal Part Detection
|
Single parts are checked for equality. If they are
identical, they are assigned the same position number. Parts are considered
identical when deviations with respect to dimensions and drill diameter are
within the values given as reference tolerances.
|
Equal Group Detection
|
The groups are checked for equality as well. Groups
are considered identical when identical single parts are arranged in the same
mounting position.
However, single parts are only compared using their
position number because positioning has already been carried out before. If
parts are identical but have different position numbers, the groups will also
be assigned different position numbers. Subgroups, assemblies and connections
can be compared with each other in the same way.
|
Save Single Part Pos Numbers
|
When a single part, which already has a position
number, gets a new position number at positioning, the existing position number
is saved in the field OrigPosnum in the parts properties.
|
Save Group Pos Numbers
|
When a group, which already has a position number,
gets a new position number at positioning, the existing position number is
saved in the field OrigPosnum in the group properties.
|
Weld Marks
|
The attached weld marks are taken into consideration
as well when the single parts are checked for equality. Weld cracks are small
drill holes with parts that have to be mounted.
|
Include Subgroups
|
Subgroups are completely included in the calculation
of equality. Otherwise, only the main parts of the subgroups are used.
|
First Mainparts then Subparts
|
First, all main parts of groups are positioned (and
sorted according to the sorting criteria within the groups), followed by the
accessory parts (also sorted according to the sorting criteria).
This can be deemed as an additional, even higher
ranking sorting criterion. If this field is checked and you have entered a
position number in the input field Start Accessory Parts at, positioning of the
accessory parts will start at the defined position number. You may for instance
start with 1 for main parts and with 100 for accessory parts.
|
Subparts start at
|
Sets the initial position number for the group
subparts.
|
Don't use Bolts for group sub compare
|
When checked, the bolts are ignored for sub group
comparison.
|
Differentiation
|
When the group is assigned the position of the main
part (normal case), it may happen that two different groups having the same
main part are assigned identical position numbers. In such cases, the program
will check in a second run whether or not the groups are really identical. If
not, it will change the group position number.
-
25 -> 25.1 – The changed group
positions are identified by the index ‘.1’ etc. following their position number
(i. e. 100.1 , 100.2 , ...).
-
25 -> 25A - The changed group
positions are identified by the index ‘A’ etc. following their position number
(i.e. 100A, 100B, ...).
-
25 -> MAX+1 – Positioning of the
changed group positions is continued after the highest position currently
assigned.
When the last group was position 50, the changed
groups now have the positions from 51 onward.
|
Takeover Mainpart Position -> Group
|
The position of the main part is taken over as
group position. If necessary, the group position is changed afterwards during
second check.
If this option is not requested, but you rather
prefer a separate number area, the numbers will start at the position entered
in Start Groups at.
|
Position Sub groups alone
|
Subgroups are individually positioned from the
specified position number onwards. For assemblies, the value in the field below
is valid.
- Sub
groups start at – Sets the start value for the sub groups in
positioning.
- Assemblies start
at – Sets the start value for the assemblies in positioning.
