Drawing source - part list

 

Part list property to set where part information and drawings are selected from

 

When a part code is entered or selected at the part list / cutting list, if the part already exists, the data for the part (length, width, material, information boxes etc.) is automatically added to the entry in the part list / cutting list. By default the program checks the Part library for the details of each part but the part may be stored in other locations. Use this property to set the location of the part drawing.

The possible locations for the part are:-

This value applies to the current list. Use the 'Part list parameters' to set a default value that applies to all new lists.

Notes

 

- If this property is blank the part library uses the drawing source set by the Part list parameter: Default drawing source

 

MPR(X) drawing source - global description

 

When the part list drawing source is set to MPR(X) the global description cannot be set and is disabled. The global length and width are also disabled when the drawing source is set to MPR(X). If the global part description already contains a value when the drawing source is changed to MPR(X), the global description is applied to all the parts and the global description is blank.
