Let’s say you created a Pipe Spool Sheet report and template and now want to run the report on a spool or assembly in the Assemblies Viewer.
Under Assemblies > Viewer > Parts tab, select the Pipe Spool Sheet (PDF) report or whatever you named the report. The report for the selected assembly will display including the report fields you defined.
Item Numbers are automatically included in the STRATUS Sheet report.
If you want to include dimensions or annotations in your report, add these to the 3D view before you select the report.
Once the report is selected, click the STRATUS Sheet tab and the viewer will populate the Pipe Spool Sheet report with the data of the selected assembly.
The isometric orientation generated for a spool or assembly sheet report includes a default view. The following describes how to change the assembly's isometric orientation.
In advance of running a report where isometric orientations can be changed per assembly, configure a report where the Assembly Viewer checkbox is checked and a Template is selected.
In the Assemblies Viewer with the Parts tab active, set dimensions, numbering, and annotations as needed.
Select the report and then click the STRATUS Sheet tab. The viewer will display your report, template and any applied view styles.
Each view (ISO, Front, Top) in the template will include an Adjust the orientation and zoom for this assembly in the viewer button. To re-orient any of the viewports, click the associated button. It will move the viewer (including the cube) over the view’s placeholder and orient to the position in which it was currently shown. The dimensions of the view's placeholder is defined in the Template.
Re-orient - From this point, you can modify the position using the mouse wheel and cube. You can also use the zoom, save, and cancel options. Note: When in this mode tabs and many buttons will disappear but will come back after exiting this mode.
Click Save. The orientation will be set to the newly selected orientation and will match the same size as the placeholder.
Note: If you try to set the orientation on a view placeholder with all parts filtered out (the assembly will not display if all parts have been filtered out) based on the view style set on the template, you will get a message saying that there is nothing visible to be oriented and the operation will be canceled.
