We don't always use native silhouettes.
Drawings within silhouettes inspection,
we can use cat
neutral formats such as PDF or D.W. G.
In this video, we're going to take a PDF
file, create a new inspection project,
rivets, and create a build characteristics
with building
dimensions.
We're going to start
by creating a new projects.
Each project contains the templates.
Each template contains information
such as system
settings, torrenting information units.
In this case,
we're just going to use a default.
But you can create your own
putting in every bit of update document.
There.
The drawing contains
a few different views.
All have dimensions.
Some contain torrents information
and some withhold quotes.
The first step of any projects
is to capture
some of the project properties.
This is usually information
that's housed in the title block,
such as the part
name, document number and revision number.
This can be typed in manually,
or we can use OCR for optical character
recognition.
We can use OCR to capture the number
and document name.
This step is important
because this information
will be used in the reports.
The next stage is to capture
the dimensions
for our bill of characteristics.
We can use auto extract.
This will automatically capture
our dimensions,
geometric tolerances, surface
finishes and database.
We can also manually extract.
This is usually used
for singular dimensions.
In our case, we'll use manual extracts
and we'll start by capturing
some linear dimensions.
To do this,
we simply drag a box over the text.
OCR then reads the dimension and creates
a characteristic
this is also automatically blurred.
These can be changed at any time by using
the properties on the left hand side.
OCR is also clever enough
to read dimensions
at an angle and occurrence.
For example,
we have a 90 degree bend where the text is
a 45 degree,
making it a challenge for OCR.
But you can see when dragging a box over
it still captures it correctly.
If we wanted to, we can go in
and reorientate the dimension
and this helps us software
to capture the dimension.
Once captured,
these will automatically be added
to our bill of characteristics.
From there
we can even make changes to them.
For example, the length dimension
currently has no method for inspection,
so what we can do is
we can go to the dropdown
and we can select that.
This is going to be inspected by a CNN
within a few minutes.
We can take any PDF document
and have a usable inspection project
with the bill of characteristics
containing information
about putting this information
inspection methods in operations,
including a blur drawing all of in
slow works inspection, standardized.
