Copy and manage
Drawings are attached to the coupling DATAflor BUSINESS provided with a unique identification number (ID). This cannot be changed and thus enables a clear assignment to specifications, offers and projects.
The file name and location are not important. This has the advantage, for example, that drawings can also be "taken along" on the notebook, edited and played back the next day. The entire coupling is retained.
The command. Should not be used to copy drawings (including backup copies) SAFE AS (Save as) or the options of Windows (copy via Explorer) can be used. A 1: 1 copy of the drawing is created, whereby two drawings with the same identification number exist.
The command was specially designed for copying and managing drawings DFSAVE (please refer Create a copy of the drawing) programmed.
Automatic referencing
If an object is in Mass tree Copied within positions, this has a special effect on the later writing of quantity statements.
Always reference downwards
As soon as, as can be seen in the example, surface 1 from position 2.3 is also copied to positions 2.2 and 2.4, the Mass list an automatic reference. This means that at item 2.2 the arithmetical documentation takes place in the Mass list, the entries for positions 2.3 and 2.4 refer to the mass lines of position 2.2. This reduces the scope of the quantity statement and the list becomes clearer. This is an enormous relief, especially for extensive calculations (solid bodies).
If the area 1 below the position 2.2 is deleted, it is documented within the position 2.3 and position 2.4 refers to this. This behavior is 100% REB-compliant.
The copying of an object means an automatic reference with referencing for the writing of quantity certificates, whereby the object is documented at the point where it is found first within the positions. So it is always referenced downwards.
Should surface 1 explicitly at each position in Mass list are entered, this is also possible. In this case, the area must be recorded again for each position (no copying) or with the option Document all objects individually to work that is within the Options activate.
All objects in the mass tree, originals and their copies, are individually in the Mass list written. There is no referencing in Mass list.
Reference up and down
From the DATAflor BUSINESS Version 1.0.24.x has an additional option that can be found within the Options activate.
The option Document original objects allows "upward referencing" in the Mass list. This means that the original object is always documented and all copied objects receive a reference to this object, regardless of whether this is before or after the object in the mass tree.
You can see whether the object is the original object or not in the tab Documentation . see
As soon as an object is copied in the tree, it becomes in the tab Documentation through the entry ORIGINAL characterized.
Copied objects receive the entry COPY.
If the original object is removed from the mass tree, the first copied object becomes the original.
Working with variants and planning statuses
Ideally, a drawing is linked to a specification of services or an offer. However, it often happens that several drawings (construction phases) and planning or billing variants have to be used. There are different options for this mode of operation, which can be used individually or in combination.
Copies of drawings and variants should be made with the command DFSAVE created (see Create a copy of the drawing).
1. Using the possibilities in DATAflor BUSINESS
This can be used to remove drawings and dependent quantities from the database. The drawings themselves are not changed and the connection to the database can be restored the next time the drawing is called up (see Position coupling).
2. Open a copied file with the coupling preserved (backup copy)
A linked and copied drawing is opened here. There are two drawings with an identification number. When updating, the quantities of the current drawing are now always entered. Alternating opening and updating can be used to switch between different variants or planning statuses.
3. Administration from the object manager
On the top hierarchy object of the item linkage, on the tab Link the function [Manage drawings] be called. All drawings linked to the LV are listed in the dialog that is displayed. By activating or deactivating the drawings you can use [Take over] It is easy to set which entries (position and CAD quantities) should be in the database. The settings of this dialog are only saved in this drawing. If another drawing linked to the LV is opened, this management function must be checked. This administration has no influence on the values entered in the Mass list.
Remove the pairing
The connection to DATAflor BUSINESS can be removed at any time. For this purpose, the top hierarchy object is simply created with the DelButton removed. You are now asked whether you really want to delete the LV.
Will the dialogue with [Yes] confirmed and is the option Convert specification of services to mass tree activated, the LV is converted into a normal mass tree and all recorded objects are retained.
Is the option Convert specification of services to mass tree deactivated, there is a second security query.
This has the following reason: If the structure is not transferred to a mass tree, all recorded objects are also removed. This can, for example, have an impact on the plan layout, since of course all labels and graphic assignments (hatching) are also affected.
When decoupling a drawing, all entries in the database (quantities from the items and the CAD quantity) are also removed. The entries in Mass list are preserved!
