Webinar, February 5th, 12:00pm CST: Managing Material Take-off Change with ICES BOM

<

with Donald W. Nuckels P.E., IMAGE Custom Engineering Solutions

ICES BOM Flyer

While it is a simple task to extract a Bill of Materials from a CADWorx plant model for purposes of procurement, what is not so simple it to track changes to that Bill of Materials after the initial release.  ICES BOM is a program that allows users take "snapshots" of a CADWorx Plant model from a materials stand point which can be used to generate a standard Bill of Materials or, more importantly, generate an Add/Delete report by comparing two snapshots.  This Add/Delete report is broken into two sections.  The first section is a totalized list of all the items that need to be added to the previously released BOM to make it match the most recent snapshot of the model.  The second section includes all the items that need to be deleted.  Reports are generated using customizable Excel templates.

Webinar, March 20th, 12:00pm CST: ISOGEN SKEYs

with Rod Abbott, Mechanical Technologist, Wardrop Engineering

Isometric drawings generated by ISOGEN use a symbol library to draw the various components. These symbols are assigned to each CADWorx component and represent it on the isometric. Sometimes you may want a different representation of the component on the final isometric. To do this you have to assign a new SKEY to that component. This takes a good knowledge of the SKEY library and the association between the CADWorx components and the SKEY assigned.

This presentation will show you how to change an SKEY for a component, the association between components and the SKEY library and how you can use your own SKEYs to assign special graphics to your final isometrics. Please join us as Rod Abbott presents ISOGEN SKEYs.
