Administration
Options Dialog
In the “Options” dialog you can make serveral settings, which are influencing the default behaviour of Reitec.Testplan.
The settings are grouped into different areas:
- Common Tolerances
- Common
- Dialogs
- Export
- Export Mapping
- Testpan Types
- Project Parameters
Area: Common Tolerances
During export, the common tolerances can be calculated for marked dimensions without a tolerance specified. In this area you can view the standard definitions and create your own definitions.
Area: Common
In this area you can make further general settings, such as defining the common settings path.
Area: Dialogs
During the automatic generation of stamp symbols you have the option of defining a filter to mark only certain drawing elements. In this area you can now influence the default values for this dialog.
Area: Symbol
Change the appearance of the symbol.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Radius | Radius of the circle. |
| Font Size | Size of the font of the number. |
| Offset X | Distance between symbol and dimension in x direction. |
| Offset Y | Distance between symbol and dimension in y direction. |
| Create Arrow | Defines if the arrow is created or not. |
| Fill Arrow | Defines if the arrow is filled. |
| Line distance | Defines the distance between the lines of the hatch. Less lines will improve performance. |
Layer: All symbols can be put on a layer.
Behaviour: Defines if the automtic symbol generation will check all sheets.
Area: Dialogs
During the automatic symbol generation you can define a filter. With an active filter only drawing elements of the selected types will be marked. In this area you can influnence the default behaviour of the filter dialog.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Display dialog | Defines if the filter dialog is display at the start of the auto generation process. |
| Dimensions | Defines if dimensions should be marked. |
| Notes | Defines if notes should be marked. |
| Symbols | Defines if symbols should be marked. |
| Surface Texture Symbols | Defines if surface texture symbols should be marked. |
| Geometric Tolerances | Defines if geo. tolerances should be marked. |
Area: Export
In this area you can make settings to influence the export behaviour.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Include header row | Export column headers or not. |
| Settings path | Path where the setting files for common tolerances and file properties where stored. |
| Chamfer patter | Defines in which way the chamfer values are connected. Possible values: DIST, DISTTOL, ANGLE |
Export of file properties In this area you can define which file properties should be exported. With the value “Row Index” you can set the export order.
Area: Common Tolerances
For all marked dimensions which have no assigned tolerance you can calculate the common tolerances. In this area you can check the default definitions or create own ones.
There are two types of definitions: “table-based” and “precision-based”. “Table-based” definitions are depending on the value of a dimension. “Precision-based” definitions depend on the precision of a dimension.
A definition consists of two elements a superordinate class and the related tolerance sets. Normally there is a tolerance set for each dimension class (length, angle, chamfers) assigned to each class.
Tables
Tables with inspection values can be placed directly in the drawing. The user can choose between different table definitions. In the options area “Tables” you can adapt existing table definitions or create new table definitions.
A table definition consists of general data such as name and title and the associated columns.
In the “Table Definitions” area you can create new definitions, edit existing definitions or delete existing definitions using the'Plus','Pen' and'Minus' buttons.
In the “Column Definitions” area you can add new columns to the selected table definition or edit or delete existing column definitions using the buttons'Plus','Pen' and 'Minus'. You can change the order of the columns using the 'Arrow' buttons.
Creating and editing table definitions The 'Plus' and 'Pen' buttons take you to the editing dialog for table definitions, where you can make the following settings:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name is displayed when the user wants to insert a table and is used to distinguish between the different table definitions. |
| Title | A title line can be displayed above the table, which extends over the entire table width. If the field remains empty, no title line is displayed. |
Editing the columns Click the 'Plus' or 'Pen' button to access the editing dialog for column definitions, where you can make the following settings:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of the column which is displayed as the column header. |
| Width | Width of the column in millimeters. |
| Alignment | Alignment of cell contents (left, right, center). |
| Line 1 | Values of the inspection values displayed in the first row of the cell. |
The values are selected in a separate dialog. Here you can choose between general properties such as the number and characteristic-specific properties. The 'Plus' buttons add a property to the value list.
Stamp Wizard
The stamp wizard gives you the possibility to create similar test plans for similar products, with a consistent order of the dimensions.
The testplan templates are defined in a XML-file. At the moment it is not possible to create new testplan templates from within the addin. If you are interested in using the stamp wizard please contact us.
