Adding a Profile Code to a Wall Panel Drawing

Framer

Wall panel components have labels in the panel drawing, based on which the component data can be found in the parts list. In addition to the labels, you can add profile codes for each component in the panel drawing. Define a separate dimension type for the code in the Automatic Dimensioning Settings database (WMEAS_SETUP). Then enable the feature detail-specifically in the Pieces of Frame Details database (DET_PROF).

  1. Select System | Structural Libraries | Wall Automatic Execution.

    The Automatic Dimensioning Settings database view opens.

  2. Add a new row to the database, and fill in at least the following fields:
    • Page 1
      • Dimension - Enter a description for the dimension in the field, for example Profile Code.
      • Distance - Defines the distance (mm) of the text's local origin from the centerline of the component. Enter, for example, 50 as the value.
    • Page 2
      • Name - Enter ELEV_NOTE_TEXT2 in the field.
  3. Confirm by clicking OK.
  4. Select System | Structural Libraries | Wall Framing Detail Parts. The Pieces of Frame Details database view opens.
  5. Add the following definition in the Description field of the desired details:

    ELEV_NOTE=#SC#

    If the Description field already contained other definitions, separate the definitions from each other with the vertical bar character (|).

  6. Confirm by clicking OK.
