The Process Type part of the Process Drawings Control window allows you to define how ABA handles the drawings. For example, by updating, regenerating, and/or auto numbering them.
To define the type of process to be used, select an option from the Process Type drop-down list. The choices are dependant on the drawings selected for processing. For example if only existing drawings are selected, create options do not display. The available Process Type choices are:
|
Create & Update |
Select from the drop-down list to create new drawings and update existing drawings. Update means that design graphics, tagging, and any tasks assigned to the template are re-run. No layers are deleted through this process, allowing you to add their own 2D layer elements if required. |
|
Create & Regen(erate) |
Select from the drop-down list to create new drawings and regenerate existing drawings. Regenerate means that the drawing is effectively deleted and re-created. Regenerate can be used if a new drawing is required without additions (for example 2D layers). |
|
Process Tasks Only |
Only the selected process tasks are actioned. Drawings are not modified. For example, if the process task Plot_Drawings is selected, then the selected existing drawings are plotted to file. |
Note:
Create or Update and Regenerate options can also be available if one type of either
old or new drawings is to be processed.
