Used to add detail cells to your 2D drawings.

If you have detailed all of the parts you can then insert the generated detail cells into the workshop plans. You will see the saved detail cells in this last work level, the insert list.

Since most of the important points have already been discussed under Component Overview, here are just a few special commands of this work level.

Setting	Description
Insert Detail Cells	Used to insert the currently selected cell into the current drawing.
Recursion Toggle	Switches recursion on or off. When recursion is on, and you select a parent topic, all associated child topics are automatically selected. Any processing applied to a parent entry is also applied to all subordinate child entries. When recursion is off, only the selected entry is selected or processed, or all entries on the same level can be selected if this option is activated in the model.
Display Settings	Used to modify the display and filters for your model. Opens the Settings for Display dialog, which is used to display sorting of component parts list. Here, you can select the standard display or an individual structure and set user-defined filters.
Special Settings	Sets up additional settings for the active model. Opens the dialog for the work tools where you can specify additional settings only for this work level. Depending on the work level, the global settings are valid, too, which can be defined separately.
Reload	Reloads all detail cells from the drawing and update the display. Used to search the current output directory of the Detail Center once more. This is required if you detailed a new model drawing or if a manual copy of a complete detail folder was entered into the output directory
Insert Assistant	Opens the Detail Center Composer, that assists users to distribute existing/created 2D detail cells on sheet(s) manually or in batch. Enabled when you already have detail cells created and added in the cell library, seen in Insert tab.

Delete Detail Library

To delete a detail library, click on the corresponding list entry and use the context menu to select the entry Delete Detail Library. All detail cells including the folder are then deleted.

Preview

Before inserting the detail cells, you can display a preview. To activate the preview, just select the corresponding entry and then select the entry Preview via the context menu.

A new drawing window opens displaying the result of the detailing in the form of a preview. This detail cell can be processed as well.

In case of modification, you mustn’t change the name of the drawing on any account. Otherwise the detail cell cannot be identified any more.

Delete Detail Cells

Click on the corresponding list entry and select the Delete Entry.. via the context menu to delete a detail cell. Then, the selected detail cell will be deleted in the detail library and will not be available any more.

Insert Detail Cells

To insert detail cells just drag the desired details onto the action button using drag&drop. The button will then temporarily turn red so that you know it is active. Let go off the mouse button and you can start inserting cells. You can also highlight the parts and click on the action button with the mouse or select the entry 2D-Insert via the context menu.

Insertion

Every inserted detail cell first appears in the current target drawing in its origin and can then be moved to the desired position within the drawing ("sticking to the checkmark“). You can open several drawings and click on a drawing to set it as the active one before inserting the cells. Any details will then be displayed there.

You can track the parts you have just inserted if you have opened the info window. You can ignore this part insert or cancel the entire insertion process.

Target Drawing

In order to activate the modification mechanism the program has to know, into which drawing you are inserting the details. You cannot insert parts until the drawing has been saved. You should refrain from making any subsequent drawing name or folder changes as well.

Although the Detail Center has a verification function for “lost” drawings or details, you will save yourself a lot of time and effort by just leaving the plans where they are. The location for saving the plans should be considered beforehand.

Revisions

Once the details have been inserted into the drawing you can manually revise the drawing. Please remember that the single parts and groups are intelligent details. For further information please read the comments in the corresponding chapter of this manual.

Ideally, you should optimize the detail style of the detailing in such a way as to eliminate any revisions. Only then the modification mechanism can function correctly, since subsequent changes in the details are otherwise lost if you select the modification function. It is however true that there are modifications which are automatically kept, too.
