The filtering rule is placed above the generic rule in the Object presentation list. Have a second rule that details all attached plates, regardless of their model role, with no labeling strategy.Filter out attached plates that have the shear plate model role and add a labeling strategy to them.It is safe to configure the drawing style to: So, it is required to add labels only on shear plates, while any other plate attached to the assembly does not have a label. In this case, the model role is shear plate. The difference between the two elements is their structural role, which is specified in the Model Role object attribute field, from the Properties dialog, Shear plates and stiffeners are the same class of objects in that they are attached plates and have a similar geometrical placement in relation to the main element in the assembly. You can label, not label, or use different labeling formats for the same type of objects, but that have different structural roles.įor example, it is required to label shear plates on an assembly drawing but not label the stiffeners. The search can be stopped at this point, as Advance Steel will not go to a different line when detailing this specific object.Īdd labeling strategies to the same class of objects The configuration can match the requirements.

The first line that is identified as matching all of the criteria will contain the labeling strategy. Some of the object filtering, such as the model role, require expanding the model object column to check the object. The best way is to start checking each line.

Once these particularities are identified, you can find the corresponding line. Identifying the line requires knowledge about the object itself, its type and its role whether it is a main element in an assembly or only an attached part, whether it is a beam, a plate, a folded beam or a folded plate, whether it is detailed from its front, top, side or it is isometric and whether it has a specific model role in the 3D model. To modify the correct labeling strategy in the drawing style configuration based on a user requirement you need to change the object presentation rule after you identify the specific line.
