EDITING BASIC TRAINING
1. Awareness of Tekla versions to open model
2. Study the fabricator standard sample drawings.
3. Types of Drawings (Assembly, Multi drawings, Part & GA)
4. Change of drawing layouts (11x17 & 24x36).
5. Dimensioning and text height.
6. Scale setup before detailing
7. Creation of sections and Details.
8. View properties and drawing properties.
9. Welding symbols
10. Symbol creation and modification.
11. Cad drawing import to Tekla.
12. Print setup.
13. Piece marks.
1.
Awareness
of Tekla :-
Previously we are detailing in AutoCAD manually. At that time detailing will take lot of time . After Tekla Software came detailing time should be drastically down.
Before open the model check the Tekla version and also check the model whether it is in single or multi user model. Save the drawings & model regularly, while doing and coordinate with your team to avoid drawing conflicts.
2. Study the fabricator standard sample drawings :-
Before going to start the editing, check the Fabricator Standards or Sample drawings that the Fabricator sent. For Example: Dimensioning, Txt Styles, Elevations, Orientation marks, RD., Set backs, Bevels or Angles, Cope cuts etc.
3. Explain Types of Drawings (Assembly, Multi drawings, Part & GA) :-
Check the format of drawing layout. i.e. Whether it is Multi sheet layout or assembly layout. Drawing layout will depend on client standard.
8x11-single part layout.
11x17-Assembly layout
24x36 -Multi layout ,Erection plan layout
4.Dimensioning and text height :-While doing the detailing check the Client Standards for Dimensioning and Text heights. For fast editing we have to save the sample dimensions like RD, Standard, Bevel, and Angle. For text placement also we have to save the text, like FOR APPROVAL, Ref. Drawings, Verify & confirm notes.
5. Scale
setup before detailing :-
While doing the Shop drawing editing we have to set that assembly parts covers in the drawing layout. General scale factor for shop drawings are 12.
In
that shop drawings some sections and details are also required for that scale factor will be 6&4.
For editing GA (General Arrangement) drawings generally we will maintain scale as128. For GA drawings we have to show the bolting sections and field weld condition details. For that sections we are maintaining generally used scale is 24, 48 depending upon clarity.
7.
Creation
of sections and Details:-
While
doing the Shop Drawing editing, We need to show shop weld sections, bolt gage sections and plate offset sections etc.
For GA sheets also we have to show enlarged sections and details for clarity purpose. In that sections / details we have to show field welds, bolting information etc.
8. View properties and drawing properties:-
We
have to set the view properties like scale and if the assembly is out side the boundary we have to minimize cut part length.
We can change the drawing properties like Name, Title and in User defined Attributes we can change Drawn By, Checked By, and Checked Date etc.
And
In User Defined Attributes we have to enter Drawing Notes like surface preparation and Paint
specification.
9. Welding symbols:-
Welding symbols need to be refer on design drawing or else coordinate with checker to finalize the weld.
