I want to use Drafting Link Element (DRSYLK) to represent a template on View.
I have created all connection aldready(DRSYLK ->SYTM; GPART->TMPL,DRSSET). but I don't know how to show DRSYLK it on VIEW? Will someone help me?
I also have some problems with these 2D symbolic representation...but maybe this helps:
Your Gpart must also be in your SPEC.
The DRSYLK must also have a valid criterial (e.g. ALL VIEW WITH ( ATTRIB PLANV ) for Top Views), and in general the scaling flag must be set (hook at Scale Factors) - depends on your symbol...
The DRSYLK must have a DrTmpref, that points to the SYTM in DRAFT (the name of the SYTM)...
The part (catref or SCOM or whatever) must have a PPoint, which points in the direction, where your symbol is pointing to as far as I understood it right...
The ppoint must be typed in at the SYTM in DRAFT in the var. Ppdirection
And, what is probably the reason why you can't see anything:
In you Ruleset RRST you must have a rule for these symbols (RRUL), where there's a hook a "SymbolFlag" (or Symbolflag true)
and also in your rule, you must ensure in the Criteria variable, that the rule finds the parts that shall be shown as symbol...
In general I think the AVEVA description is more or less only confusing...
My own problem is: I have a SYTM for front and back of a part, but whatever Ppoint I type in in the SYTM, DRAFT only shows the front-SYTM.
My ppoint 2 ist referenced to the back -SYTM, but only the front-SYTM is shown...
Even I have no symbol for side and plan view of the part (only front and back), DRAFT shows only the front SYTM in all other directions...
Why is the ppoint direction ignored? Can anybody help?
Additionally: the SYTM for floor-fittings (FFIT in Spec, shown as type PFIT) and the SYTM for wall fittings (WFIT in Spec, shown as type FITT) work fine.
But the SYTM for GWALL fittings (SBFI in Spec, also shown as type SBFI) have the wrong location!!
Not the 3D part, the catref - this is fine. Just the SYTM instead of the 3D part is at baseline of the wall...why???
The NPPT of the DESSYM is always -1, but for SWALL and FLOOR it doesn't matter, just for GWALL it's a problem.
If I type in the number of the ppdir of the SYTM, then the DESSYM is at the right location...except the fact, that only the front-SYTM is shown....
