Correx - stamps on the drawing

Put the stamps of the calculation and your comments on the client's drawing; the final drawing comes with the report.

Correx puts the results of a mast on the client's drawing as stamps - the profile and foundation, the utilisation, the anchor, the wires - together with your comments. It is the step Correx, between the results and the report, one mast at a time.

The drawing

Check the project out, open Correx and choose the mast. Upload the client's drawing as a PDF with Upload drawing. If the PDF has several pages, choose the right one under Page. The drawing belongs to this iteration; a new iteration needs it again.

Calculate the mast first (Calculation and results) - the stamps take their values from the calculation.

The stamps from the calculation

Under From the calculation, BEAM makes the stamps itself and places them on the drawing:

  • the drawing and who checked it - drawing number, EK, engineer and date, and later the report number;
  • the mast - profile and length, orientation, the foundation and the slope; choose the foundation among the permissible ones;
  • the utilisation - green up to 100 %, red above;
  • the anchor - only for a mast with an anchor; choose its foundation;
  • the wires - every conductor with its attachment, height, spans and angle.

Switch a stamp off with its tick box, and give it another colour with the colour squares. If your plan includes the logo and your company has one (My account and licence), Company logo is a stamp too: drag it where it belongs and size it with its corner.

Comments

Under Add a comment, choose a category and click a colour next to a text: the stamp appears where you are looking. Replace *** in its text with your value. Add cross-out box adds a box with a diagonal - it marks a part of the drawing as void. Edit texts opens your company's texts - see below.

Arranging the stamps

  • Drag a stamp to move it. Shift + click selects several; they move together.
  • With several selected, the toolbar aligns them - to the left, right, top or bottom edge of the outermost one, or centred.
  • The small square at the corner of a selected stamp changes its size. Auto size gives it the size its content needs again.
  • The text inside a stamp: left, centred or right, and top, middle or bottom.
  • Stamp size makes all stamps larger or smaller.
  • Zoom with - and +, or with ctrl + mouse wheel; the percentage fits the drawing to the width again.
  • Arrow keys move the selected stamps by 1 pt (shift: 10 pt); Delete removes a selected comment.

Every change is saved at once.

The finished drawing

Save page (PDF) saves the stamped page as a PDF, named like the report - to check it or to send it ahead. It is a draft: its stamp says there is no report yet.

The final drawing comes with the report (Report): for every mast with a Correx drawing, BEAM makes the stamped page from the report's own calculation, with the report number and its QR code in the stamp, and appends it to the report PDF behind a page that lists them.

Your company's stamp texts

The comment texts belong to your company and are the same in all tools. If your company has none of its own yet, it uses the default texts: Copy the default texts makes them your company's, and from then on you add, change and delete them - the category, the text, the size and the colours it is offered in. Accounts with a licence edit their company's texts; a demo account reads the default texts.
