Customizing Dynamic Views to Optimize Drawing

Production

Customizing Dynamic ViewsTo Optimize Drawing Production

• Learn in this session how to apply techniques for incorporating office‐drawing standards into the Dynamic View templates in order to optimize drawing production using AECOsim Building Designer.

• At the end of this training session, an assessment will be given. We will review all assessment questions and answers to see what you have learned.

Learning Objectives

After this session you will be able to:

• Create your own drawing seed DGNLib.

• Customize a drawing seed to match your office drawing standards by creating Display Styles and Drawing Rules.

• Create a detailing symbol style that represents your office standard detailing symbols.

Drawing Standards

• Family and Part Resymbolization

• Display Styles (displaystyles.dgnlib)

• Text and Dimension Styles (TextDimStyles.dgnlib)

• Detailing Symbol Styles (detailingsymbolstyles.dgnlib)

• DG Annotation Styles (Annotation_DG.cel)

• Drawing Rules

• Project Sheet Size and Borders

Customizing the Drawing Seed - View

TIP: Modify the Drawing Seed DGNLib for a discipline by starting ABD with that discipline shortcut to prevent contamination from other discipline Drawing Seed DGNLibsTIP: Rename the Saved Views to describe the Template

Configuration Variables

•ATF_DRAWINGSEED_DGNLIBLIST– DGNLIB(s) storing Architectural drawing seeds.

•BBES_DRAWINGSEED_DGNLIBLIST– DGNLIB(s) storing Electrical drawing seeds

•BMECH_DRAWINGSEED_DGNLIBLIST– DGNLIB(s) storing Mechanical drawing seeds

•STF_DRAWINGSEED_DGNLIBLIST– DGNLIB(s) storing Structural drawing seeds

•MS_DRAWINGSEED_LIBLIST– Specifies the set of files in which to search for drawing seeds. If not defined, all DGN library

files defined by MS_DGNLIBLIST are included.




Production

Configuration Variables

•MS_DGNLIBLIST– List of DGN library files which are used as resources for your current session. They have a

priority based on the order in which they are found.•MS_DETAILINGSYMBOLS_CELLLIST

– List of cell library files to be searched for cells used as callout-heads in detailing symbols.•BB_ANNOTATION_CELLLIB

– Specifies the location and the name of the cell library file used for DataGroup annotations.•BB_TERMINATOR_CELLLIB

– Specifies the location and the name of the terminators cell library file used for DataGroup annotations.

•TFANNOTATION_OVERRIDES– Specifies the location of the annotation settings file.
