    • @KeyackTechnologySolutions

      @@adelphia27 hey Todd. I wasn’t able to see GUIDS in action in combining. When I brought two kiss files in with a customer (I know kiss don’t have Guids) there was no change detection in combining. Ricky had mentioned something about how production allows you to automatically make updates and more control on the import but also mentioned if ABM marks are right that you can compare a combining run against Production run. Is there good videos demonstrating this whole process? I can’t import xml into combining so I probably need to make a special kiss export of the parts that don’t shorten the lengths?

    • @fabricationinformationsyst6835
      @fabricationinformationsyst6835 2 місяці тому

      Chris, you mention it in your video that the IFC can be brought in and that does handle GUIDS. However Todd (and this is a big however), everything in an ABM is going to change once the model is connected. So when you have hundreds or thousands of pieces in a revised ABM it is incredibly tedious and tough to actually wade through all of the changes to see what actually matters. I have clients that just throw their hands up and do it manually instead, and I can understand why. Plus, changes brought into combining do not uncombine the associated pieces in purchasing/inventory. So bringing it into production control is better from that perspective. There are repercussions for this though once you receive a release for fab.

    I am learning a lot from you. I have a question about numbering. There are hundreds of columns in a project. When I perform numbering, I want same columns to have same number with different series. For example there are 5 same columns in different locations. I want these columns to have Cxxx-1,CXXX-2,Cxxx-3,Cxxx-4,Cxxx-5 instead of Cxxx for all five. In addition I saw on drawing with DS2 a format xxxC-1,xxxC-2,xxxC-3,xxxC-4,xxxC-5. Can we make this format with TEKLA?

    The customer support element has definitely gone downhill for SDS/2 since covid. they before had it where you could get on a messenger type chat dialog with support. Theyve ended this and now only seem to operate via phone call and email. When I call, I'm very lucky if i reach anyone on the first try. If I email a question, I usually get my answer towards the end of the day. I'm very skeptical of the reason they gave for taking the messenger thing down, saying that people didnt use it as much. That was definitely not true in my case and now I receive feedback much slower or sporadically.
