Check Data Consistency

It is usual to run data consistency checks on supports when they are created in Design’s Hangers & Supports application.

1. If you wish to re-check data consistency you can carry out the same process from within Draft by clicking Check... on the H&S Batch Macro Generation form.

   The H&S Data Consistency Check form will be displayed. The options are as follows:

   

2. Enter the element to be checked in the Check text box.

   You can use the CE button or type in the name. The element can be a single restraint or a higher level element above a restraint.

3. To start checking, click the Check button.

   Any messages will be displayed in the scrollable text pane. If there are no errors which would affect drawing the restraint, the message NO DATA INCONSISTENCIES will be given.

4. If you want to save the list of messages to a file, select File > Save As from the menu.

   When the file has been saved, the filename will be shown at the top of the form.
