Drawing Partlist

Used to create a partlist for selected ProStructures objects and place it at specific point in the drawing. Therefore, it is suitable for drawing-dependent parts lists in plans showing for instance, only one single group.

Since this parts list is an "intelligent" object, modifications in the model can be automatically seized and displayed in the parts list. In addition, various formatting options are available which can be controlled directly.

After having selected the command, select the desired parts first and then determine the desired insertion point of the list in the drawing by clicking a point. The Drawing Partlist dialog appears where you can make the basic settings.
