Pictures

Normally, the system in parallel with the generation of the panels also generates a picture of the panel. All different types of components are drawn according to normal Drafting standards.

The contents of a panel picture differ between a separately generated panel and a panel generated into a view. No separate panel picture is stored in the latter case.

Brackets on panels will be drawn in different ways in separate generation:

• Brackets in the same plane as the panel are drawn together with the panel.

• Brackets at an angle to the plane of the panel are indicated by their mold lines on the panel.

• Those brackets which are not drawn together with the panel (and which are not standard brackets) will be nested together in a separate picture that is stored as well.

When generating in a drawing the brackets are drawn either as a mold line or as the full geometry depending on the orientation relative to the view.

The names of the picture objects are derived from the name of the panel in the following way:

• For the panel picture by adding an asterisk (#P),

• For the bracket picture by adding a per cent sign (#B).

The picture objects are stored in a special picture data bank, from where they can be retrieved, for example, for an update of the panel in UPDATE mode.
