Manual 2D Cut - Symbol tab

You can generate the cutting code either via a generated graphic or via cells to be selected.

SettingDescription
Symbol The cutting code is created as a symbol consisting of cutting arrow and code.
Continued The two partial lines are connected through the cut part.
By Side The cutting code is written beside the cutting arrow; otherwise it is written above the cutting arrow.
Arrow Size Specify the size of the arrow.
Distance/Length Here, you specify the distance of the cutting lines, from their beginning to the utmost bordering edge (e.g. the dimensioning), and what has to be the length.
Cell A freely selectable cell is used for the cutting code instead of a cutting arrow. In the input fields Top Cell and Down Cell you see the selected cell path. You can assign a cell symbol by clicking Select folder icon to pick a user specific cell symbol.
Cell Path Here you indicate the directory with the files containing the cell definitions for the cutting arrows. Select the directory via the neighboring button.
Top Cell Here you select the cell for the upper cutting arrow.
Down Cell Here you select the cell for the lower cutting arrow.

Alternatively, cut information can be added to the 3D-components in the model which describes the position of the desired cut in the 2D-drawing. The addition can likewise be made via the 2D-Detail. Additional information is found in ‘automatic 2D-cut’.

Example of a Cut at a Group

The edge of the cut is located in front of the left stiffener and the depth of the cut extends beyond the head plate – you see all of these parts from the right; the shape is cut and the drill holes are invisible.
