Representation Library Administration

This chapter tells you how to set up:

• Representation Rule Sets (RRST) and Representation Rules (RRUL). These define the appearance of the drawing of the Design Model.

• Hatching Rule Sets (HRST) and Hatching Rules (HRUL). These define how model faces created by section planes, and surfaces of Specified Design primitives, are hatched.

These Rules Sets are created within Representation Libraries (RPLB). When accessed during normal Draft drawing operations, each RRUL references a STYL or HSTYL (Hatching Style) that is to be applied to the View from which the owning RRST has been called.

Note: The DEPT Project_Libraries, supplied as part of the standard product, contains a LIBY named DRA/PRJ/REPR, which holds sample representation rule libraries.

This chapter also tells you how to set up:

• Change Rule Sets (CRST), Design Change Rules (DCRULE) and Annotation Change Rules (ACRULE). These define the appearance of changed design elements and changed annotations on the drawing of the Design Model.

Change Rule Sets are created within Representation Libraries (RPLB). When accessed during normal Draft drawing operations, each DCRULE references a DCSTYL and each ACRULE references an ACSTYL, which is to be applied to the View from which the owning CRST has been called.

• From one of the Draft Administration application main menus, select Draft > Representation Rules.

  The main menu will change to the Representation Style Administration menu. The menu hierarchy is shown in Administrator Menus.
