Approval drawing

APPROVAL DRAWING

• 1.ShipConstructor/Navigator/Approval/Click new/ Name Approval.
• 2.SC Approval/ Insert Group

Arrange all planar and curved groups in layout frames with correct scale (layer Defpoints, layer colour Magenta)

Note: If attaching a planar group via ShipConstructor fails, then use AutoCad Xref » Attach

Rules

• Use correct layout template
• Layout names ‘Sheet 1’, ‘Sheet 2’, etc.
• Fill up titleblock at least with:
  • Date
  • Scale
  • Format
  • Sheet number and total

1. Viewports

• Scale (in order of preference):
  • 1:20
  • 1:25
  • 1:40
• Scale for details:
  • 1:2
  • 1:5

o Layer is VP (layersetting NO PLOT for VP) o Lock display of viewports • Titleblock KP: o Hull nr: - o Project nr: KP project code o Drawn: JK o Drawing nr: B08 for expansions

• Text o Layer 0 o Textstyle KP o Colour ‘by layer’ o Textheight: (lay out)  Title 7.5 CAPITALS  Subtitle 5 No capitals  Text 2.5

Guidelines

• Arrange planar groups in the following order: 1. Frames 2. Longitudinals 3. Decks 4. Curved plate • Small projects: arrange planar groups vertically conform their position in reality; place the keel on the bottom of the drawing, place roofs on top of the drawing • Arrange small parts (brackets, etc.) near the adjacent part

Check

• Presence of all planar groups • Correct layer use • Undesired layers

PROCEDURE FOR CREATING AN APPROVAL DRAWING

• 1.Make sure the approval drawing is completely arranged and saved
• 2.Click Approval » Save As Bound Approval
• 3..Location Project » Drawings
• 4.Name is ‘project Approval date’ (08025 Approval 14-08-2008.dwg)
• 5.Click Yes for ‘Remove all solids’
• 6.Bind planar groups which cannot be bound with Shipconstructor (many times ‘crv plate’ groups) manually via ‘xref’ / bind
• 7.Use Quick Select (Propereties window) to:
  • •Explode all block references
  • •Explode all ARLCMarklines
  • •Delete all ARLDDoubleCurveSurfaces
  • •Delete all unnecessary layers
• 8.Move all entities to the ‘0’-layer.
• 9.Purge the drawing
• 10.Move viewports to layer ‘VP’ and switch the layer off
• 11.Check for undesired layers

Note: If binding via ShipConstructor fails then use the AutoCad command Xref » Bind
