As for all standard libraries, it is possible to create a part and insert automatically in the material’s slip the details used. The code of the support’s part is customizable by editing the value in the appropriate space. If the box is left empty, the code will be created automatically.

Click on Codify Menu and a dialogue box appears and allows the user to select a specific support between all those codified.

  • What
  • A dialogue-box to set the type of support to use, its view and its insertion parameters.
  • Why
  • For the correct drawing of the support, with the abovementioned tables, without necessarily insert all the entities which compose the support, but selecting in the available list the line with the essential characteristics as the length, the width, etc…
  • How
  • The dialogue-box opened with the command Top_Supporti is divided in four main sectors.
