List generator for precast elements

Module(s): Process Planning

List generator for output to laser or matrix printers in text mode.

Clicking Lists brings up a list selection screen:

In the top table, the available lists and schedules are displayed in different colors. In addition to the standard lists and schedules for slabs and walls, optional 'ADS' lists or custom-designed lists may be available.

Display of list forms

Panel oriented list, i.e. the program sorts the elements in accordance with position.

Stack oriented list, i.e. the program sorts the panels in accordance with stack sequence.

This list has not been assigned a ‘printer driver’ yet (you need to do this once for each list after installing).

The table at the bottom lists the available ”printer drivers” (definition files in ASCII format in which specific settings such as output port, printer sequences etc. are saved).

Click on the list you require and click S0 NEXT to confirm. This is followed by the selection of the panels to be printed out (depending on the setting of F4 *Auto). Pressing S0 NEXT again starts the list generator. The prompts displayed depend on the list selected and the settings you have made in the Lists/Schedules configurations for the slab and wall program.

You can make the following additional settings before the list generator starts:

F3 *Editor

If enabled, you can edit the list before it is printed out. To do this, an editor opens.

F4 *Auto

If disabled, you can select specific panels of the project after the start.

This way, you can limit output to specific panels. If enabled, the program automatically selects all the marks.

F5 *Prompt

This switch is only for lists that are article-based (billing, ADS stack list). Once entered, the list generator records the prices or article numbers in a reference file.

The next time the article or price comes up, it is not requested again. If this switch is enabled, the program prompts for all prices and articles.

Articles are not included in the invoice when you enter 0 for their prices.

F8 Num.: 1

Number of copies

F9 Border:

Setting for border on the left. A border setting is only possible if you have a corresponding reduction in printed line length (the default setting for standard lists is 80 characters per line).

S8 CANCEL

Exits the list generator.

S0 NEXT

Continues.
