Steel menu: Steel Frame Annotation Command line: SFRAMEANOT

Steel toolbar:

This command allows the user to annotate and dimension the frame lines.

Command: SFRAMANOT

Select frame line to dimension/annotate:

Enter an option [Dimensions only/Call outs only/Both] <Both>:

Dimensions only

This option draws only the dimension for the selected frame line. The user will be prompted to pick the dimension side. The distance the dimensions are offset from the frame line is controlled by the AutoCAD setvar DIMDLI. This option respects the current DIMSCALE setting.

Pick dimension side: pick a direction Call outs only

This option creates the call out and places the label of the selected frame line in a block with attribute. The M5 block located in the <INSTALL_DIR>\Support directory is used for the call out. The user will be prompted to pick the call out location.

Pick call out location: pick a location Both

This option creates both dimensions and call outs.

This command can also create the dimensions in call outs in paper space.

Existing

Command line: SSETEXIST / SREMOVEEXIST

These commands change the existing flag for steel members and allow for layer changes to be made to the steel solid and center line.

Command line: SLAYERCHANGE

This command allows for layer changes to be made to the steel solid and center line.

Running these command, will present the user with the following options:

Select components [All/Select] <Select>:

Select

This option allows the user to manually select steel members.

All

This option will automatically select all steel members.

After either of the two options above, the user will have the option to change the solid's layer.

Change the solid layer [Yes/No] <No>:

No

This option will not change the solid layer of the selected components.

Yes

This option will invoke a dialog from which the user can select a desired solid layer.

After either of the two options above, the user will have the option to change the centerline's layer.

Change the centerline layer [Yes/No] <No>:

No

This option will not change the centerline layer of the selected components.

Yes

This option will invoke a dialog from which the user can select a desired centerline layer.

Note: Steel plates/baseplates will automatically have their centerline's layer changed to whichever layer was chosen for their corresponding solid.

User

Command line: SUSER

This command allows the user to insert a custom user shape using the dialog below.

In this dialog the user can select the component to draw based on the user shape DWG file that they created. The extrusion direction and distance is based on points picked or line selected. Rotation angle may be selected from the pull-down, and annotations may also be entered within this dialog.

For user shapes to work the Type.ini file must have TYPE=USER. In the example below, the directory (...CADWorx Steel\Steel_I\UShp) was used to store the user shape drawing files.

Shown below are the parameters stored in a user created DWG file that can be used to create a roof purlin user shape.

After selecting the shape from the dialog, the user may pick points, or select a line to determine the extrusion length. See figure below.

Loft

Command line: SLOFT

This commands allows the user to create lofted steel components.

Command: SLOFT Specify density: enter real

Select cross sections in lofting order: select cross sections

The cross sections define the shape of the resulting steel component. You must specify at least two cross sections.

Select path curve: select a path curve

The path curve must intersect all planes of the cross sections.

Enter short annotation: enter string Enter long annotation: enter string Enter description: enter string Enter part number: enter string Enter material: enter string

Any of these entries can be left blank if the user presses Escape or Enter at their prompt.

Utility

Edit

Steel menu: Steel Edit Command line: SCEDIT

Steel toolbar:

This command allows the editing of the steel shapes and plate. Users can invoke this command from the command line, pulldown menu, or simply by double clicking on the shape. The command will display the exact same dialog that was used to place the shape. The user can change the size, the type of shape, the description, or any field in the dialog which is editable. See the Steel Shapes (see page 46) or Steel Plate (see page 52) command above for more information.

CG Generator

Steel menu: Steel C.G. Generator Command line: SCG

Steel toolbar:

This command allows the user to calculate the center of gravity(CG) of the steel members (including plate) in a drawing. The user must select the desired members.

Command: SCG

Select objects: pick a point or type A for all Specify opposite corner: pick another point Select objects: return to finish selection

After selecting the desired components, a prompt will ask whether the report need to be saved.

Save report [Yes/No] <No>:

If the user answers Yes to the above prompt, a standard file selection dialog will appear requesting a file name. The user can save the report as a text or html file. Next, the command will prompt the user whether they wish to view the report at the command line.

View file [Yes/No] <Yes>:

If the the user answers Yes to the above prompt, the command will process the selection and display the report as shown below.

W6X20 W6X20

Length = 14'-1 5/8" Weight = 282.67 X = 66.87 ft Y = 47.49 ft Z = -0.26 ft

At the end of the command, the following information will be displayed.

Weight Summation = 13000.00 lb Summation (X * Weight) = 9041625.65 ft-lb Summation (Y * Weight) = 1190958.29 ft-lb Summation (Z * Weight) = -51285.00 ft-lb

Center of Gravity X, Y, Z = 57.9591 ft 7.6343 ft -0.3287 ft

A prompt will ask whether a marker should be placed in the drawing and then the final prompt will tell where the output file(if any) was written.

Insert drawing marker [Yes/No] <Yes>:

Center of gravity report written to D:\Dwg\Drawing1.txt

Note: To combine center of gravity reports for piping and steel components, take the weight summations and add them together. Take each separate moment (ft-lb) X, Y, Z and add them together separately. To find the new X centroid location, divide the total X moment by the total weight. To find the new Y and Z centroid location, divide them by the total weight.

Global Edit

Steel menu: Steel Global Edit Command line: SGCEDIT

This command allows multiple components to be modified at one time. When multiple components are selected, this command displays the following dialog. Each field within this dialog will be blank. If any field or edit box is modified within this dialog, then that field will be changed throughout all the components that were selected. The edit boxes or fields that were not modified or changed will not be updated within the components.

Command: SGCEDIT

When finished, a prompt will appear indicating the total number of components that were updated.

Enter length: enter real Select object: select any object

2D Representation

Steel menu: Accessory 2D Representation Command line: 2DREP

This command allows the user to create a flat 2D representation from a 3D model. In addition, it removes hidden lines and retains layer and color information. It can work both in model or paper space. In model space, the 2D representation is created as a block.

Note: An alternate command called 2DREPH is also available. This command will export the hidden lines from solids to the 2D representation created. All other features of this command are similar to the existing 2DREP command.

When the command is run in model space, the user is prompted to select objects.

Command: 2DREP

Select objects: select objects

If the command is run in paper space, the user can select one or more viewports or select objects from within a viewport.

Command: 2DREP

Select [Viewports/Objects] <Viewports>:

Once the objects are selected, the user is prompted to indicate what they would like to include in the 2D representations.

Enter a filter option [Solids/sOlids and centerlines/soLids and lines/Centerlines/cEnterlines and lines] <sOlids and centerlines>:

Solids: This option generates 2D representations of a native AutoCAD 3D solids.

Centerlines: This option will copy CADWorx Piping and Steel center lines selected to the 2D representation.

Lines: This option will copy AutoCAD 3dPolyline, Arc, Circle, Ellipse, Leader, Line, Polyline, Spline and Helix selected to the 2D representation. This includes CADWorx Piping and Steel center lines.

After the option above is picked, the command will generate the 2D representation and insert it into model or paper space.

If the user is in paper space, the user will be prompted if they want the viewport(s) to be turned off.

Turn off Viewport(s) [Yes/No] <Yes>:

This option is useful when there are changes made to the model and the 2D

representation needs to be updated. The user can turn the viewport back on using the AutoCAD properties dialog and and run the command again.

Note: This command only processes native AutoCAD Solid and Line entities that are typically created by CADWorx. This command will not process any custom solid or line entities that are created by other add on AutoCAD applications.
