Places profiled sheets in rectangular areas by specifying diagonal corner points.

The placement plan is shown schematically:
The profiled sheets are marked with a straight, diagonal line, in the middle of which the quantity and the position number as well as the designation and the length of the profiled sheet can be seen. In the first third of the line there is a directional arrow indicating the clamping direction.

Since the profiled sheets in the placement plan are assigned to a job, a job must have been created in the drawing with the Project Manager. When you run the command, you must first select the job, then follows:

Once you have chosen the clamping direction for your placement plan, the Dialog box Profiled sheet is displayed. Here, select the desired profiled sheet and click OK. Now you can generate the placement plan by specifying the diagonal corner points:

While the input request is active, the Palette Placement plan profiled sheet is displayed. Here, you can adapt some properties while you generate the placement plan.

General properties of the Palette will not be discussed here. For more information, refer to the AutoCAD documentation.

Overlap
Defines the overlap of the profiled sheets. When you switch off the tick box, no overlap is used.
With overlap, the clamping direction is taken into account. With a vertical clamping direction the overlap at the top and bottom is specified. With a horizontal clamping direction this is right and left.

Tolerance
Defines the limit from when a further profiled sheet is generated.

Sheet thickness
Here, you can modify the material thickness of the profiled sheets. In the list the available sheet thicknesses of the selected profiled sheet are displayed.

When you conclude the input request by pressing the ENTER key, the command is terminated.
