5.10.2. 2D deriv ation: Extend standard views

5.10.2.6. BMG Layer (DIN4003)

Drawings can be enhanced with BMG layers according to DIN 4003. When exporting 2D DXF/DWG these layers transfer important information for Tooling and BIM, among others.

Prerequisite: CNS classification with corresponding data

Click in the PARTdesigner 3D History docking window, click on the context menu command New 2D drawing.... [New 2D drawing...]

-> The 2D drawing dialog box opens.

New 2D drawing " dialog box
Select the User option under View.
Enter e.g. DIN 4000 / BMG Layer under Name.
Select the BMG option under Layer Group [Layer group].
Confirm with OK.
-> The Sketcher is opened. (The Text button group button group is visible for drawings)
Set up the drawing in Sketcher as usual.

Note
A 2db file can also be saved and loaded as parametric 2D sketch.

Now classify desired elements.

Example:

Initial situation: A line not yet classified shall be classified.
Select the desired line.
-> Now the line is displayed showing the default highlighting color (purple).
Click on the Classify element icon.
-> The corresponding dialog box for determining the group [Group] and classification [Classification] is opened. Make the desired selections (here tool designation and LAYER_1.

Once selecting a layer, the result to be expected is immediately displayed (line color, type, width).
Finally, confirm your selection by clicking on OK.
-> In the sketch history [Sketch history], the relationship between shape element and classification is represented by a red arrow.

Example: Relation between shape element and classification

Note

If the needed classification already exists, better add the selected element to the existing instead of creating a new classification step!

To do this, select the Elements category in the appropriate classification and click on the context menu command Add selection.

	Note
	Depending on the layer, the lines are displayed differently in color, type (solid, dashed, dot-dash) and thickness (thin, normal, thick) (both in PARTdesigner as well as later in PARTdataManager in the 2D derivation ). Detailed information on the individual layers can be found in the DIN SPEC 69874-2 specification.

Using Hide classified elements you can show and hide all layers of a group or individual layers to check whether everything is set correctly.
Click on the button.
-> The respective dialog area is opened.

All layers visible

All layers hidden except for "NC-Geometries"

Activate/deactivate the checkbox at desired groups or layers.
Finally, click Apply changes [Accept changes] in the Sketcher.
-> The additional 2D drawing with the layer information is displayed in the 3D history [3D History].
Define in PARTproject -> Edit project -> 2D derivation tab page to display or output the 2D drawing.

2D derivation tab page
- Enter a display name under View.
- add 2D model. There are two ways to do this:
  - Select From 3db [From 3db file] if you have created the drawing in Sketcher and want to use this internally saved drawing.
  - Select a 2db file which is stored in the project directory.
- Select the Add option in the third column.
Update the index.
Open PARTdataManager.
-> The additional drawing is displayed under 2D derivation.
When exporting 2D DXF/DWG the BMG layers are also exported.
