Tabella 38. PallCart - Ballooning e Frame (Ballooning Style Variables)

PallCart->Ballooning->General->Prefix	This field is set with the characters representing the prefix that you want to put before the sequence number contained in the balloon.

PallCart->Ballooning->General->First Grouping Attribute	Contains the name of the first key attribute of ballooning: the parts that have equal AttrPall (and AttrPall2 is empty) are ballooned with the same number, if AttrPall2 is not empty then only the parts that have both equal AttrPall and AttrPall2 will be considered equal and therefore ballooned with the same number. If instead AttrPall is empty, AttrPall2 becomes irrelevant and each part is considered distinct from the others (no sum of parts is carried out during the table drawing). Let’s suppose, for example, that AttrPall = CODE and AttrPall2 = LENGTH, if a) the application meets two parts that have the same code value and the same length value, are then considered as two equal parts and their quantities are summed in the table; b ) the two parts have the same code value but different length value, they are then ballooned with different numbers and appear separated in the table c) both parts have the same code value and a not compiled length attribute. So, as in the first case, their quantities are summed in the table. The use of the AttrPall2 variable is applied optimally to the management of drawing parts such as beams, hollow profiles, tubes ..., that is to say all those materials which differ in the BOM, as well as for the code, also for their length.

Tabella 41. Transmission

Transmission->General->Commons->Use Reactors to Update Transmission	When this option is enabled, if you move a pulley or a sprocket of a parameterization already made, the transmission path will be recalculated and updated to the new situation.
Transmission->General->Commons->Redraw Transmission When Tour is Changed	Makes sure you draw any transmissions already drawn again, if the members composing it are modified. Be careful because the transmission so redrawn may present dimensioning errors.
Transmission->General->Commons->Check Intersections of Transmission	This option enables or disables the intersection control of transmissions. If control is enabled, while selecting the transmission wheels, you verify that the belt\chain branches do not intersect. If this happens, the path is rejected. If the control is disabled the intersection check is deactivated.
Transmission->General->Chains->Draw Chain with Axis	If this option is enabled, when the chain is drawn along the transmission, it will also be drawn its axis of symmetry.
Transmission->General->Chains->Check Sprocket Overlap	This option enables or disables the overlapping control of sprockets. If the control is enabled, during the selecting phase of sprockets, the possible overlapped sprockets are rejected and the path refused. If the control is disabled, overlapping check is deactivated.
Transmission->General->Chains->Keep Compatibility Between Sprocket and Chains	This option activates or deactivates the sprocket-chain consistency check. In practice, it is verified whether the type of sprocket selected is compatible with the chain which is being used or not. The cheking is made during the selection of sprockets if the control is enabled. If the check fails, the path is rejected. If the control is disabled, the consistency check is disabled.
Transmission->General->Belt->Draw Belt With Axis	If this option is enabled, when the belt is drawn along the transmission, it will also be drawn its axis of symmetry.
Transmission->General->Belt->Check Pulley Overlap	This option enables or disables the pulleys overlapping control. If control is enabled, during the pulleys selection, any overlapped pulleys will be rejected and the path refused. If the control is disabled, overlapping control is deactivated.
Transmission->General->Belt->Keep Compatibility Between Pulley and Belt	This option enables or disables the belt-pulley consistency check. In practice, it is verified whether the type of pulley selected is compatible with the chain which is being used or not. The cheking is made during the selection of sprockets if the control is disabled. If the check fails, the path is rejected. If the control is disabled, the consistency check is disabled.
Transmission->General->Belt->Draw Belt Even If It does not Correspond to the Selected Tour	When this control is enabled, the belt could be drawn only if its length perfectly corresponds to the path described by the selected sprockets.

Categories->General->Behaviour->Disable Blocks Management	When this option is activated enables the management, and therefore the research, of the categories also within the blocks.
Categories->General->Behaviour->Recover Categories in Loading	Determines whether to perform, while loading each drawing, a process of analysis and correction of errors related to the categories.

Tabella 43. QsUtilities

QsUtilities->SmartTag->SmartTag->Enable Dynamic Update Attributes	This option enables the automatic update of SmartTag, eventually defined. In this way, if a textual entity has been attached to an attribute, its value will be automatically updated when the entity will be changed.


QsUtilities->Clean Special->Clean Special->Keep structure parts	In the command "Special Clean" the parts aren't delete.
QsUtilities->Clean Special->Clean Special->Replace to the original	Replace the selected drawing with the cleaned-up version; For safety reasons, save a copy of the original file as '_dirty'

Utilities->Transformations->From Block to Parts->Aggregate orphans to TOP part	When the conversion command is run, the entities without part are aggregated to the TOP part.
Utilities->Transformations->From Block to Parts->Convert attribute to texts	When the conversion command is run, converts the attributes to texts.
