LIFTING

Command SCEPEXPORTLIFTINGINFO

Type Acad/General Group Operation - EnterprisePlatform Command

Description Exports various part properties defined by a BOM definition for a given list of parts

Input Parameter Type Notes

Parameters
(in order) BOM Definition Name String The name of the BOM definition to be used

BOM Definition Type String (Optional) The name of the BOM definition type

Output Path String Full Directory Path and file name of where the output will be placed

Output .xml file created in the output directory:

Static Columns: Part Guid,
Dynamic Columns: Determined by BOM definition

Required EnterprisePlatform Client License

Licences

Notes To export information for any part type there must be a collector of that type in the bom definition
Export information is determined by the fields in the BOM definition (plus the static columns noted above)
The BOM Type parameter is used to specify a BOM definition if there are multiple BOM definitions with the
input name. If multiple definitions are found and a type is not specified the operation will fail
It is possible to have a UDA with the same name as a BOM field. If this happens only one will be exported
The extension of the output file as specified by the Output Path parameter determines the tabular format of
the output generated

Lifting Components
Insert a Lifting Component into an Assembly Drawing
A Lifting Component uses an equipment stock and may be placed into an Assembly drawing using the origin of the Lifting Component
standard, or one of the stock's custom insertion points (as defined in Using the Equipment Standard Drawing Editor).
To insert a Lifting Component
1. Run the SCADVLIFTINGCOMPONENTCREATE command to open the Equipment selection window. This window lists all the
available Equipment Stocks. A preview of the currently selected equipment stock is displayed in the preview box.

Note: Only Equipment Stocks with a red icon displayed can be inserted into a drawing.

2. Select the desired Lifting Component from the Equipment Selection window.
3. You are prompted to pick the first point or choose an option from the Custom Insertion Point Mode command line:

Please pick the insertion point : or [neXt point <1>]:

If desired you may select the Next Point option (by typing X) to cycle through which insertion point to use for Lifting Component
placement. The Lifting Component will shift so that the selected insertion point is now at the cursor. Repeat this option until the
desired insertion point is selected.
4. Click anywhere in the model to specify the first placement point for the Lifting Component.

2593
5. You are prompted to select a second point defining the direction of the Lifting Component.

Please pick the second point of the end axis :or [plaNE/XRotate/YRotate/ZRotate/SNap<on>]

If desired, do either of the following:

Plane – To change the NavAid plane to a perpendicular one (the plane formed by the Z and X axes of the current UCS),
type NE (for plaNE) and press Enter.
XRotate – To rotate the NavAid plane about the X axis type XR (for XRotate) and press Enter.
YRotate– To rotate the NavAid plane about the Y axis type YR (for YRotate) and press Enter.
ZRotate – To rotate the NavAid plane about the Z axis type ZR (for ZRotate) and press Enter.
Snap – To turn on or off snapping of picked points to fixed angles (the current setting is displayed in the command line
in <angle brackets>), type SN (for SNap) and press Enter.
6. Click anywhere in the model to define the direction of the Lifting Component.
7. You are prompted to select a point indicating the orientation of the Lifting Component.

2594
 Please pick a point indicating a rotation about the defined end axis : or [ALign to WCS/ZRotate/SNap<on>]

Pick the point or turn on or off snapping of the picked points to fixed angles (the current setting is displayed in the command line
in <angle brackets>) by typing SN (for SNap) and pressing Enter.
8. Click anywhere in the model to specify the orientation of the Lifting Component and complete insertion.

Edit a Lifting Component's Properties

To edit a Lifting Component's properties
1. Open the Assembly drawing containing the Lifting Component you want to edit.
2. Select the appropriate Lifting Component.
3. Right-click on the selected Lifting Component and choose Properties to open the AutoCAD Properties Palette.
4. The Properties Palette will display the properties of the Lifting Component such as the Part Name, CG Point and Weight.

2595
 5. The Part Name, Accessory Package, and User Anchored fields can be changed in the Properties Palette.
6. Surface Area, Weight, and the Lifting Component geometry are all set on the stock in the Equipment Catalog. To update Lifting
Components that have been edited in the Equipment Catalog, run the SCADVLIFTINGCOMPONENTUPDATE command.

Lifting Vectors
Insert a Lifting Vector into an Assembly Drawing
Lifting Vectors may be placed into an Assembly drawing by specifying the base point and end point of the vector.
To insert a Lifting Vector

1. Run the SCADVLIFTINGVECTORCREATE command to start the Lifting Vector jig.

2. You are prompted for the base point of the vector or choose an option from the command line.

2596
 Specify first point[Arrow size/Magnitude/Units/Display text/tExt style/Text direction]:

If desired, do either of the following:

Arrow Size - To change the size of the arrow of the vector and press Enter.
Magnitude - To change the force magnitude of the vector and press Enter.
Units - To change the units of the force magnitude of the vector and press Enter.
Display text - To change whether the magnitude text is displayed or not and press Enter.
Text Style - To change the text style used for the magnitude and press Enter.
Text Direction - To change the orientation and position of the magnitude text and press Enter.

3. Select the base point of the vector (the 3D point can be entered in the command line).
4. You are prompted for the end point of the vector or choose an option from the command line.

Specify end point[Arrow size/Magnitude/Units/Display text/tExt style/Text direction]:

5. Select the end point of the vector (the 3D point or the length of the vector can be entered in the command line).

Edit a Lifting Vector's Properties

To edit a Lifting Vector's properties

1. Open the Assembly drawing containing the Lifting Vector you want to edit.
2. Select the appropriate Lifting Vector.
3. Right-click on the selected Lifting Vector and choose Properties to open the AutoCAD Properties Palette.
4. The Properties Palette will display the properties of the Lifting Vector such as Arrow Size, Text Direction, Text Style, and

2597
 Magnitude

5. The properties can be edited to update the Lifting Vector.
