"General" tab

Name of detailed drawing file:

You can enter a single attribute, fixed text or a formula consisting of several attributes or simply fixed text in the text box of the Pattern parameter.

• Click to the right of the text box to open the Formula editor dialog box for selecting attributes. You also use this dialog box when you create reports in Allplan.
• If you want to define formula attributes, expand the dialog box for selecting attributes using the small button in the upper right corner, thus displaying the required functions and operators.
• The pattern is suggested with the fixed text "Detailed drawing MarkNo."+@903@ (with attribute @903@ = MarkNo. of precast element) for any re-installation.
  Text must be enclosed in quotation marks ''...''. You can customize this pattern to your needs.
  Start by selecting the area from which you want to take the attribute. You can then select the Allplan attributes of this area in the Attribute column.
  To select an attribute, double-click it. Depending on whether you have expanded the Formula editor or not, you can see the selected attribute in the text box at the bottom of the editor or the editor closes and you can see the attribute immediately in the text box of the Pattern parameter.
• When you have expanded the Formula editor, you can use all the functions listed in the editor and the functions provided by Excel, such as TEXT, LEFT, RIGHT, MID. The options you have are the same as those for creating reports.
  You can select functions in the same way as attributes: double-click a function in the Function column to enter this function in the text box of the editor. If you want to use Excel functions, enter the function manually in the text box.
• The Operator column includes the operators you can use. Here, too, double-click an operator to enter it in the text box of the editor.
• When you have finished, click OK to close the Formula editor and to save the formula.

Note: Please note that the result of the formula must not be longer than the drawing file name, which can be up to 70 characters long. The formula itself is limited to 255 characters.

The program only uses the name you configure here when you create a new detailed drawing file using Detailed Drawing File(s). The program does not update the drawing file name when you assign a model precast element using Assign Detailed Drawing File or when you change attributes included in the drawing file name.
