Step 1: Determine the G Columns
The first step is to determine which G columns require an additional .dwg. Remember, these options are going to change the structure of the part (not the finish/fabric). Something is physically being added to the existing graphic.
It is advised that Multigraphic be at the top of the option selection tree (starting at the G columns) and not buried deep inside the sub-options (SO). It will not work past two sub-options (SO).
This will work:
This will not work:
In this example, the .dwg for the G0 column is the base .dwg which is just the desk. The G1 column is an option to include a grommet.
Step 2: Add the 2D & 3D File Names
The second step is to add ONLY the names of the 2D and 3D DWG files for each option a part of the Multigraphic layer. DO NOT ADD THE EXTENSIONS.
Continuing with our previous example, for PO "GROM60", there are four options the user can select: No Grommet, Left, Right, or Both.
Because the Left, Right, and Both options add a change to the base .dwg, a .dwg of each additional option needs to be supplied. The names of these .dwg are entered in the MGPV and MG3D columns.
- The MGPV column is used to layer 2D .dwg files.
- The MG3D column is used to layer the 3D .dwg files.
After selecting "Both", the GB60_3D.dwg file is now layered onto the existing .dwg file.
Repeat this step for every option that uses a Multigraphic.
Step 3: Include 2D & 3D Files in DWG Folder
Make sure that ALL .dwg files referenced in the spreadsheet ate included in the folder that is submitted to us.
Step 4: Include an Image of the Option
Adding an image of the option to the ON_IM column will give the user a visual idea of what they are adding. In this example, you will notice the same image is used for any of the grommet options.
