Standard Default Settings

When a new dimensioning group is created, it is equipped with standard default settings which in most cases produce proper results. You can always reset a group into this standard state if it appears to be “hopelessly altered”.

In addition, it is also possible to create a complete standard default setting for each partial sector of dimensioning (e.g. dimensioning of add-on parts in groups). Apart from the settings, this standard default setting also contains an assignment of component parts. The standard default setting has been optimized for typical support/girder constructions and is a good starting-point for user-defined adaptations. 

The standard default settings were defined by the manufacturer and cannot be modified in order to find a uniform starting position at each user and at any time. Kindly make use of the standard loading functions of the detailing style to define your own standards.

Conversion of Former Drawings

Models which were created with version 17.1 or 17.2 had a fixed default setting of independent parameter records. When you open these models with version 18.0, a separate dimensioning group will be created for each of these parameter records so that the behavior will be analogous to the previous version in case of parameter modifications.

You can of course remove groups which are not required or modify the assignment of component parts afterwards. If desired, you can thus sum up identical default settings to a common group.
