BmInsert

Inserts sheet metal form features, mechanical and BIM components.
Inserts an RFA* file as a BIM component into the current drawing.

The source drawing of the component is not affected. A virtual component is created, that represents the drawing in the assembly.

* RFA import is a work-in-progress.
Some general guidelines about the RFA import functionality are:

1. RFA files older than 2011 are not supported.

2. Files from 2011 to 2014 can be imported, but due to a major format change from 2014 to 2015, there is a possibility of issues with nested families.

3. I file dal 2015 al 2019 vengono importati correttamente. Attualmente è possibile importare; estrusioni, miscele, rivoluzioni e spazzate.

4. Only the geometry of the family is imported without parameters or properties.

BIM Workspace

The BIM workspace displays as a File dialog box.
The default folders for BIM components sit in the following subfolder of the BricsCAD installation folder: ...\UserDataCache\Support\en_US\Bim\Components.

1. Select a component to insert.
2. Double click or click the Open button.
3. The parameters of the selected component display in the Properties panel.
   
   
4. Optional: edit the parameters.

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select insertion point or [Edit inserted entity/Rotate component/set Base point/Name/insertion Type/Flip/mUltiple/Change target 3d solids] <0, 0, 0>: (Specify the insertion point or choose an option.)

Move the cursor over a solid; the face under the cursor highlights: The UCS aligns dynamically with the selected face. If the edge by which the cursor enters the solid is horizontal or vertical, the X-axis of the UCS is horizontal otherwise, the X-axis is aligned with the edge, the Z-axis is perpendicular to the face of the solid. Specify point to insert.

Hit the Ctrl-key to switch between Select insertion point and Edit inserted entity mode.

Selezionare punto di inserimento

Gives the option to specify the insertion point. From the middle of each edge of the placement rectangle, dynamic dimensions display to the nearest parallel edge on the face of the solid. Press the TAB key to cycle the fields. Type a value in the dynamic dimension fields, then press the TAB key, to lock the field. Once locked, this will turn red. Only one of two parallel dimensions can be locked. If a dimension value is entered and the other, parallel dimension was already locked, it will be unlocked. Press Enter or click to insert the selected block. Locked field Current field Unlocked field Unlocked field

Edita entità inserita

Gives the option to specify the width and height of the placement rectangle of the insert. This option is only available if the W (width) and/or H (height) parameters are defined in the component source drawing. Prompts you: Edit [Height/Width/Done] <Height>: The two, dynamic dimension fields display the current width and height of the placement rectangle. Type a value in the current dynamic dimension field, then hit the TAB key to switch to the other field. Hit the Ctrl-key to switch to Select Insertion Point mode.

Area di lavoro meccanica

Verrà visualizzata la seguente finestra di dialogo:

Select a mechanical component drawing, then double click or press the Open button.

The parameters of the selected component display in the Properties panel.

Optionally, edit the parameters.

Il componente è attaccato al cursore con il suo punto di origine.

Dynamic dimensions display X and Y coordinates from the origin of the current coordinate system. For Windows and Doors components the command displays four dynamic dimensions similar to BIMINSERT.

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select insertion point or [Edit inserted entity/Rotate component/set Base point/Name/insertion Type/Flip/mUltiple/Change target 3d solids] <0, 0, 0>: (Specify the insertion point or choose an option.)
