Create Drawings from Panel Stack Diagrams

Create drawings from panel stack diagrams.

1. Select Panels > Panel Stacking > Create Panel Stack Drawings.
2. 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 File > Open > 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.
