SISCAD-P supports quantitative, constructional and structural bill of
materials. The user either may influence the layout of the bill
of materials as well as its content.
Bills of materials are created with the following commands:
After stating a position point the bill of materials becomes part of your construction. The content of the bill of materials is determined by one of the following files:
The files are to be found in the logical directory $cadstl.
A stl-file is predetermined for each kind of bill of materials
in the file siscadp.def. You can modify this default or state
another file in the CREATE command.
The terms descending resp. ascending refer to the position of
the bill of materials head within the bill of materials. Is the head
at the end of the bill of materials it is an ascending bill of
materials.
The layout of the bills of materials is determined by the files:
These files are to be found in the directory $cadstl, too. These
files represent SISCAD-P constructions. I.e. you may create an own
layout with the help of SISCAD-P resp. modify an existing one until
it meets your requirements.
The output of a bill of materials into a file is done with a macro.
These macros are also within the directory $cadstl:
m_stl.his
b_stl.his
s_stl.his
You may adapt these macros to your requirements.
