Drawing Verification

Each time you insert some details in a drawing, a dependence of the component part on the workshop drawing and vice versa will be saved in the drawing database of the model drawing. These saved dependencies later permit an automatic update of the workshop drawing or the transfer of drawing numbers to the component parts properties of the model.

These links are the reason for your having to enter a valid drawing name of the destination drawings before insertion of details. It is also the reason for your having to save the model after insertion.

Nevertheless it may be that you have to modify the physical position of the 2D-drawings after the complete detailing was finished. This is the case if you have to save them in an assembly folder of the order in the network. In addition, it may be that you want to move some details from one drawing to the other in order to add some completions or just because there is not enough place in the drawing any more.

However, if the model has saved the wrong dependencies, and the DetailCenter thus cannot function completely as it should, you can correct this subsequently. This correction partly is carried out automatically, partly by means of your manual support. It is divided into the two areas Drawing Path Verification and Detail Verification.

Start of Verification

Accessed from:

Dialog: Detail Center > Parts (tab) > Parts view: > Right-click > > Additional Functions > 2D Drawing verification

After the note that this function may require some time and that if need be you can cancel the function the verification starts.

At first, it is verified whether all paths of workshop drawings saved in the drawing database still exist. Then, the drawings, which were not found, are displayed in the dialog. Now, you have the possibility to set the paths or drawing names anew.

After verification of paths was finished, and any necessary corrections were made, the program passes on to the verification of the details contained. It is now verified whether all details are contained in the original or now modified drawings.

All the details, which were not found, are now displayed in the list. You have thus the possibility to link any moved details anew or to remove deleted details.

Setting	Description
2D Drawing Selection	Displays the tree list of verified 2D drawings. Root node is marked missing or unknown.
Detail Block Selection	Displays the list of verified detail cells.
Display Mode	Sets the display hierarchy. Standard, Drawing state, Pre-sorted as Drawing action required, etc.
Search in directory	Displays the folder path currently set for searching the missing drawings. The path is selected using the browse [...] icon next to it.
Check additional new files	Sets additional files to be searched, that are not linked to the revision database. Files can be included from Main directory or Main and sub directories.
Selection info	Displays the symptoms of the cell `Action` selected in the Detail block selection list.
Check Model	Checks model for the effect of action set.
Run	Runs selected action. Used to specify the new drawing where a certain detail is which was selected before in the list. Then, it is verified at once whether the detail is really situated on the new drawing.

Thus you can first look at the result of drawing verification in the log file --that is the text file (model name_ VerifiedInsertionStructure.txt) which are situated in the subdirectory .. \Out\Details of your OpenBridge Modeler installation. There, you will find a list of all workshop drawings linked with the model as well as the status of the details expected to be there.

For example, the Verified Log report for model PST1.dgn reads something like this:

PST1_VerifiedInsertionStructure.txt - Notepad
