Secondary Standards

Create a New Secondary Standard

Having created an ASL Standard (and a corresponding APPDAR) for the encapsulation of the criteria the Standard can then be sub-divided or categorized into secondary standards, in this instance the secondary standards capture the different criteria of ‘Public’, Semi-Public’ and ‘Private’ secondary standards.

For example, in the case of a Ladder conforming to a ‘Public’ secondary standard it would have rigidly defined degrees of freedom in its allowable tolerances than those specified for a ladder conforming to a ‘Private’ secondary standard where its criteria are much more generalised.

In database hierarchy terms the Secondary standard is managed by the Application Data (APPLDA) element.

Delete the Selected Secondary Standard

As with the deletion of the standard, deletion of the secondary standard should only be undertaken with care as there are instances of the standard and associated geometry in the 2D or 3D environments which will loose their references.

Copy the Selected Secondary Standard

Copying existing secondary standard provides a quick and efficient method of creating new sub standards and changing the attribute settings for subsequent use.
