OpenBridge Modeler

Drawing List

At any time, OpenBridge Modeler can create a drawing list giving you a survey on the inserted details and their status of modification. This drawing list is based on the current entries in the drawing database and on the status of the so-called “modification flags” of the component parts.

Therefore, it is recommended to verify the drawing first. The program automatically offers this drawing verification after the function has been selected. It is of course also possible that hints which were recognized as invalid shall nevertheless remain valid because the drawings have only been moved temporarily.

Creation of File

Select the context menu of the component parts list and click on the entry Output of Drawing List. A text file (Modelname_DrawingList.txt), will be created in the subdirectory ..\detail of your OpenBridge Modeler installation. This file contains first a survey on all 2D-drawings and the number of inserted details.

If one of these details has been checked as modified in the DetailCenter, this drawing is reported as being modified. Therefore, this statement doesn’t mean that the drawing has actually already been modified. It means that it still has to be modified. In addition, you will find a detailed list per drawing, which details (position numbers) are contained and which of them has already been modified in the model.

On the following page, you will find an example of a drawing list. Since an external program via code words might evaluate the content of this list, the output of these key words is always in English.

As you can see in the example, there are 6 single parts (2 of them modified) and 2 groups in the drawing with drawing number ABC_PL03. Therefore, the drawing is checked as being modified.
