Drawing Partlist - Insert tab

SettingDescription
Style

Select the name of the output style. This output style specifies the appearance of the output (i. e., which values are displayed in which lines, the size and position of the columns, etc.).

The Standard output style is created by the program and therefore is always available. You can create and manage as many styles as you like. Here you select a style and thus re-structure the list by selecting a list entry.

Origin Select whether the data have to be taken from normal 3D component parts or from 2D position flags.
List Type

Select the type of parts list here.

  • Create Single Partlist – An entry is created for each element. The data don’t have any reference to each other; the quantity of output parts corresponds to the detected parts.
    Note: The determined number of groups is not taken into consideration for selection.
  • Group List – Here the data are output separately according to groups and the quantity of single parts is output as parts per group.
  • Released Group List – A "real" single parts list is generated, taking into consideration the number of parts depending on the quantity of the corresponding group.
  • Group Header List – A list of only the group main part along with group related values such as length, weight, etc.
Insertion Point Use the drop-down list to select the position of the parts list related to the previously selected insertion point.
Tolerances Type the value to use as a tolerance range, by which the length of component parts is compared and considered as identical.
Scale Type the scale of the output. The size of the complete list output can be increased or decreased.
Current Level Set this option to generate the list on in the current level. Otherwise, it is generated on the layer specified by PS_TEXT in the configuration.
Update automatically Set this option to let ProStructures control the parts list contents. When a element is modified or deleted which is contained in the parts list, the list will be recalculated and updated.
Note: This option may require some time for calculation. Therefore, you should thoroughly consider whether you want to make use of this possibility and risk the inconveniences of speed. You have always the possibility to update the list manually.
Verify position number If this option is activated only parts having a valid position number will be evaluated.
Only group parts If this option is activated only parts belonging to a group will be evaluated.
Use TotalCount as GroupMultiplier If quantities are used, the total amount will be displayed.
Count = Count*GroupMultiplier The displayed amount results from the number of parts in a group multiplied by the quantity of these groups in the model.
Use total count in total values If total values have to be used at output, the total amount instead of the number is used at calculation.
Bolts without position number If this option is activated, bolts having no valid position number will be evaluated as well.
Washers extra If this option is activated, washers will be evaluated and listed as separate parts.
Nuts extra If this option is activated, nuts will be evaluated and listed as separate parts.
Safety washers extra If this option is activated, safety nuts will be evaluated and listed as separate parts.
Tapered Washers extra If this option is activated, wedge washers will be evaluated and listed as separate parts.
No weight for bolts Bolts are displayed in the parts list without indication of weight.
With Welds Welds are displayed in the parts list.
Combine Welds (Active when With Welds option is set). When checked, identical types of welds are added in the parts list to a common length.
Anchor Bolts When checked, uses anchor bolt.
Anchor Bolts without pos. num (Active when Anchor Bolts option is set). When checked, uses anchor bolts even if they has no valid position number.
Separate internal components When checked, separates internal components in the parts list.
