The following procedure steps you through creating an Assembly Sequence drawing.

  1. In the Management Console, right-click the root level of the hierarchy and select New > More on the shortcut menu to open the Add Component Dialog. Select Folder on the General tab, and click OK.

    SHARED Tip You could also select an existing folder in the hierarchy and skip this step.

  2. Right-click the folder and select New > More. On the Add Component Dialog, go to the Ship tab. Select an Assembly Sequence drawing component. For example, select the Assembly Sequence component and click OK to add the New Assembly Sequence component to the folder. This is the component you use to create your Assembly Sequence drawings.

  3. Right-click the New Assembly Sequence component in the folder, and select the Setup Command on the shortcut menu to open the Setup Dialog.

    The Setup dialog for assembly drawings is similar to the Setup (Drawings by Rule Component) dialog.

  4. On the General tab, note the View Builder definition. For the delivered Assembly Sequence component, one View is already defined.

    You can add views and add views to reports as needed to define the contents of your drawings.

  5. You can select a view or report and click Properties on the General tab to display the View Definition Dialog, which displays the current property settings for the view or report. Change the properties as needed for the assembly method drawings you are creating.

  6. Go to the Queries tab to set up the query definition for the assembly sequence drawings. The query definition identifies the objects in the model that will be included in the drawing.

  7. In the Select view type list, select the view type to which you want the query associated. You can define separate queries per view type or you can use a default query for multiple view types.

  8. Specify a filter to identify the objects used in the query. For an assembly sequence drawing, the profiles you select do not have to be manufactured. For example, the graphic below shows that the SeqAssy filter is being used for the Assembly Sequence view type.

    Notice that the Collation Rule for the Assembly Sequence setup is already set to CollateAssemblySequence. This collation rule identifies how the assembly is built, then creates a view for each part of the assembly in proper sequence and a view that shows how the assembly is being built after "each" part is added.

  9. Click Apply Filter Apply Filter ICON to run the filter definition. The rest of the dialog updates with additional definition information.

    You can further define the view definition using the buttons at the bottom of the Setup dialog. See Queries Tab (Setup Dialog - Drawings by Rule).

  10. Click OK on the Setup dialog to save the view and query definitions.

  11. If you need to edit the template associated with the drawing component, right click the component and select Edit Template. The template associated with the component opens in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor so you can edit the layout and presentation for the drawings you are creating.

  12. After you complete setup of the Assembly Sequence component, right-click the component and select Create Drawings to create the drawing documents. The new documents display in the Detail View. The red X icon indicates that the drawings are out-of-date (the current model information needs to be updated in the drawing views).

  13. Right-click the component again and select Update to update the drawing documents with the information from the model. A dialog shows the update progress.

  14. When the process is complete, review the information in the dialog for any problems that may have occurred, then click OK to close the dialog. Notice that the up-to-date documents are now available.

  15. Right-click the document and select Edit to open it in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor.

If you need to create a customized Assembly drawing component, create a Drawings by Rule component and define it as an Assembly drawing component.
