8.3.4. Missing clamping system information in isometrics
On this page
Optimize isometrics by updating dynamic properties before isogeneration. Learn how to document important assembly information completely and precisely.
Problem description
In the generated isometrics the information about the primary supports does appear, but the information about the clamping systems used is missing.
As a result, the outputs look incomplete and important data for assembly and documentation is missing.
Cause
The cause is that before isogeneration the function Dynamic properties was not run.
- Without this update, the system does not know the assignment between primary support and clamping system.
- The isogeneration therefore only pulls the standard information, but not the extended information for clamping systems.
Solution
- Run dynamic properties before isogeneration
Make sure that the dynamic properties are updated across the entire model.
This writes the clamping system information into the components.
- Start isogeneration again
After the update, regenerate the isometrics.
Now the clamping system information appears correctly in the drawings.
Recommendation
- Best practice: Always run the function Dynamic properties before isogeneration.
- Establish as a project guideline that the update is part of the regular workflow before creating isometrics.
- This ensures that all necessary information, both primary supports and clamping systems, is output on the isometrics.
