Create Drawings from Panel Stacks
Framer
Create drawings from panel stacks.
- Select Output | Panel Drawings | Panel Stacking (Auto) Panel Stack Drawings.
- Select the stacks from which you wish to create drawings from the list. The list includes all stacks in the active drawing-model pair.
The program will generate panel stack drawings and save the files in the project's stacks folder. The files are named according to the stack label – for example, a stack of floor panels:
FLRSTACK_[stack number].vxp
Note
- You can open the drawing files by using the function > Open File. The files are saved in the project folder.
- The pnlstackform.vxp file will be used as the template sheet for the drawings. It is saved in the ../custom/picts/sysdwg folder.
- You can add, for example, the following text macros to the template sheet, which will be
filled in when the drawings are created:
- STACKID - Stack label.
- OUTSTACKHEIGHT - Stack height.
- OUTMAXROW - Stack width.
- OUTNUMBER - Number of trusses in the stack.
In addition to these values, you can add project data card information to the sheet.
- The drafting properties of the panel outlines in the stack diagram are defined in the system settings with the keyword line PNLSTACK.LINE2D.
- The drafting properties of the panel label in the stack diagram are defined in the system settings with the text line PNLSTACK.PANELID.
