Set up a Drawings by Query Manager component - Intergraph Smart 3D - Help - Hexagon

The Drawings by Query Manager component works in conjunction with the Isogen Isometric Drawing by Query or Orthographic Drawing by Query components. Before using this command, you must create packages for your Isogen Isometric Drawing by Query or Orthographic Drawing by Query components. See Save Package Command.

1. Right-click the folder in which to create your Drawings by Query Manager to open the Add Component Dialog.

   You can store the Drawings by Query Manager anywhere in the Console, but it is best to store it in the same location as the components with which it works.

2. Select the Drawings by Query Manager component, and then click OK to create Drawings by Query Manager component in the folder.

3. Right-click the Drawings by Query Manager component, and then select Setup to open the Setup dialog. You use the dialog to specify the properties for the component.

4. Specify a filter in the Filter field. The filter that you select is the where portion of the query, as opposed to the what portion specified when you set up the Isogen Isometric Drawing by Query or Orthographic Drawing by Query component. The filter that you specify here tells where in the model you want to look for the objects. See Drawings by Query Filters.

   The list shows the most recently selected filters. Select More in the list to display the Select Filter dialog, and then specify a filter. Click Properties to display the current filter properties.

5. In the Package field, specify the Isogen Isometric Drawing by Query or Orthographic Drawing by Query package that you created. The list contains the most recently selected packages. Select More to display the Select Package dialog. For example, if you are defining a Drawings by Query Manager for an Isometric Drawing by Query, select an Isometric Drawing by Query package.

6. Click OK to save the settings. To create the drawings, you need to run the query. See Run Query Command.
