Sticks with multiple hardware Rabbets
Elevations that require hardware preps to be placed on more than one rabbet include communicating frames in which a door is placed on both sides of a double rabbet jamb, and frames with multiple door openings where a mullion has doors both to the left and to the right, as in the elevation with the double sided mullions pictured blow:
Variables added to engineering processing
A set of variables storing the names of specification sets associated with line items in the engineering system are now available for referencing during processing.
New Function For Database Queries
The DRI functional language has a new built in function. It accepts a path to a database and a SQL statement. The sql statement should return a record with one or more fields.
The function will create a variable with the same name and value of each field in the record. The variable names may be given an optional prefix to avoid conflicts with existing variables or keywords.
This command supports communication among the various modules of the system.
avoiding interference with other features and preps when placing preps
The Ordermation™ engineering system has a powerful function allowing the placement of preps while automatically detecting and avoiding other preps, the +FDRAWAVOIDING command
All of the four following drawings have countersunk mounting holes placed with the exact same command. The holes are placed differently depending on interference:

Controlling the Group (Assembly Sheet) Number
By default, Ordermation numbers the groups of products that are combined on one shop traveler document in the order in which they are processed. The order in which products are processed can be controlled by adjusting the GROUPING QUERIES. The GROUPING QUERIES are used to select products with similar enough properties to be represented on the same shop traveler from the opening schedule.
There are cases were a different numbering system is desired.
For example, a customer does not want different line items to be combined into groups. The customer wants each line to be in its own group and have its own assembly traveler sheet. (more…)
