model quotas and styles advance steel

[Mky]

Good morning, in trying to evaluate advance steel I am trying to understand the thousand options for table putting, styles, labels, quotas etc.
at a meeting I had heard that quota styles are defined in a normal dwg file, but I don't remember what route it is.
Can someone give me a tip?
some guide to understand the articulation of styles and sub-styles I never found it. Do you have any help references?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, mki.
all quota styles, are contained within the single square. the teams are in c:\programdata\autodesk\advance steel 20xx\shared\support\prototypes
the management tools only assigns them.
change those you find without rename them so you are already operational.

Thank you so much!! !
Nice mess set everything up!
modeling is ok, but spitting out tables quoted with labels and colors right is hard stuff!! !

Oh, my God, that's one thing. Hard is another. :
advance steel is very roundy and this prevents you from repeating the set, having to remember everything. simply how much you study an layout for the frontal beam object, you will "point" it again for the "column" object.
In my opinion, you should follow two fundamental points:
1) use their abbreviations. as opinable, they were thought and tested, so once you "to the eye", it will be immediate to understand what it is.
2) advance steel for anything follows an order from top to bassor if you have to (example) color red bmw and fiat, but of verde all the others, you will have to create a table with bmw = red, fiat = red and automobili = verde. if you created the same table but so: automobili = verde, bmw = red and fiat = red, with the first "cars" you would also understand bmw and fiat, so that it would be a useless color because they are always "cars". I hope I have made a clear example.
Bye.

Well from setting the tables to have a pseudo-automatic quotation/labeling in my opinion is really difficult and requires so many tests... are you lying around the settings already made for views, plants and details? I can't find many in design styles. . .

 

[Putrella]

I'm sorry, but I put myself here for a question maybe banal about how I'm going crazy:
if I in an elaborate I want to exclude some elements (for example from the conscientious plant I would like to exclude parapets that make a lot of confusion) how can I do? which setting should I consider? Help me! !

For example, in the model, turn off the elements you want to hide, then regenerate the design.

Forgive me if I don't do my business, but I have the impression that you're going forward to attempts. experience is an important part of learning, but to advance it is necessary to understand the logic of the program. you can find useful manuals, but especially videos that you can also find on youtube.

 

[Putrella]

thank you gil...we are in a forum and it is right not to do their own things. You're right, I'm trying enough. However thanks to the videos on yt and the manual (very little useful) I think I have reached a good level. I have some problems ovviously in the definition of design and labelling standards (in my opinion super chaotic and little user friendly even for all those used abbreviations) but the level is sufficient cmq.
I now take advantage of it: When you say "spegni" you don't mean "hidden"?

 

[gil]

I just saw some advace presentations and a little more.
cmq the theory is the following for the little I know.
in the model you can hide or display objects using a special advance menu. I think you call them "groups."

then, in the model, turn off the groups that contain objects that you do not want to display in the drawing. You can also use manual selection, but it's a very repetitive solution.

Now that the model is as you want the drawing to appear, create the elaborates.

It's not a great system because in case of rethinking, and you want to change the content, you need to regenerate the design. But it's the only system I know.

However I am not an advance user and maybe there are better methods.

You know if you find them. Hi.

p.
I agree that it is anything but user frendly in the configuration, creation and management of designs.
