Create drawing tables

Create drawing tables.

00:04

After completing this video,

00:05

you'll be able to

00:07

create a drawing parts list and create a drawing bed table.

00:11

In fusion,

00:12

we want to carry on with our manual drawing creation file.

00:16

We're gonna take a look at creating a parts list on our 1st sheet,

00:19

as well as a bend table on our 3rd sheet.

00:22

To get started,

00:23

we want to go to our first sheet and select tables.

00:26

We can use the automatic table option or we can manually pick the parts list.

00:31

If we're going to pick the parts list,

00:32

we simply need to drag the location where we need to snap the parts list

00:36

and note that it's adding balloons for us automatically.

00:40

Note that we have a couple of different options that we see on the screen.

00:43

We see our parts list with our part number and our material,

00:47

the item and quantity.

00:49

Parts list can be somewhat configured and some of

00:51

the information comes back from our detailed drawing part.

00:55

And if we go to specific features like the housing mount,

00:59

right click and we locate our properties.

01:03

Inside of the properties of each component,

01:05

we're going to see information about the part number,

01:08

the part name,

01:09

and its description.

01:11

Each of these bits of information can be carried

01:13

onto the detailed drawing and into a parts list.

01:16

For the most part,

01:17

we're gonna be using this standard parts list.

01:19

If we need to make any changes,

01:21

we can go to our table and we can select things like renumber balloons.

01:25

For example,

01:26

if we need this to be item number 1,

01:28

we'll select it first and then item number 23456,

01:34

and 7,

01:34

and so on.

01:36

We can carry on around our part,

01:37

renumbering things as we go,

01:39

and we can have our parts list change.

01:41

We'll say,

01:42

OK,

01:42

and have everything updated.

01:45

Next,

01:45

let's go to sheet 3,

01:46

where we have a sheet metal part.

01:48

With sheet metal parts,

01:49

there are a couple ways that we can identify the bends.

01:52

Using a bend table is one of the best ways.

01:55

We can toggle on bend identifiers for a

01:58

specific part by selecting bend center lines.

02:00

We can see that we have bend 1 and bend 2.

02:03

We can add a bent table,

02:05

which will allow us to add a table with information about each bent.

02:09

Bend 1 is up based on the current orientation with an angle of 50 degrees,

02:14

radius value of 0.24.

02:16

Bend 2 is down an angle of 45 degrees with the same radius value of 0.24.

02:22

So including a bend table or information about the bends is a

02:25

great way to capture details about your flat and sheet metal parts.

02:29

Keep in mind that there are other types of tables that we can use.

02:32

There are custom tables that we can create,

02:34

tables for revision history.

02:36

If we're using the whole feature,

02:37

we can gather information about the holes generated on a part,

02:41

and we can also use other options like manually adding parts lists or balloon items.

02:47

For right now,

02:48

let's make sure that we just understand how we

02:49

can add a detailed parts list of our assemblies

02:52

and how we can add a bend table for our sheet metal parts.

02:56

Once you're done,

02:57

make sure that you do save your detailed drawing before moving on.
