Input

The following data are input to the system:

• Plate parts.

• Standard parent plates.

• Standard hooks.

• Default information.

• Standard drawing forms.

  The system contains in itself functions for the establishment of standard parent plates, standard hooks, default information and standard drawing forms.

• Symbol font.

  The symbol font number 2 contains user defined symbols to be used on the shop drawing. In addition, the SBHM symbol font 92 is used to display different types of excess.

  In the Nesting System there is no special user font for symbols. All system symbols and user-defined symbols are placed in font number 2.

  It is however possible for the user to create his own symbol font in the drawing part of the system and use this font as font number 2. The symbol font current for a certain project must be named d012sy002.sbs.

  There are however, a number of system symbols which always must be defined in font No.2:

  	20-25	(restplate handling)
  	60-79	(position number)
  	80-99	(position number)

  These symbols must be taken from the font delivered by with the AVEVA Marine software.

  All other symbol numbers are free to use but it is advisable to use the numbers >= 100. In this way it is possible, if necessary, to introduce new system symbols with number < 100.
