ASSUMPTIONS/FURTHER INFORMATION
1) Shape codes 47/51/63 (links) - The total length of the bar is calculated using the formulae to minimize C and D.
2a) Shape code 56 is assumed to be a link with E and F having minimum straight lengths of 10d.
2b) Shape code 56, it is assumed dimension F = E.
3) Shape code 64 - is assumed to be a link with F being equal to minimum end projection with a 10d straight.
4) Shape code 41 - if this shape is used as a link then dimension E should have a minimum 10d straight.
5) Shape code 21 - if this shape is used as a closer for shape code 47 (i.e. used as a link) then the minimum end p

Shape Code 99
There are a number of ways to deal with shape code 99. In each method, complete your bar mark row and enter
dimension 'A' column.
Method 1
Leave a couple of blank rows below your bar mark 99 and insert a sketch (picture file) prepared in a CAD program
paragraph below on how to insert picture files. Picure files can be in many formats but .wmf, .jpg, .gif, .bmp and .d
Method 2
Leave a couple of blank rows below your bar mark 99. Print off your schedule and draw a dimensioned sketch o
dimensions 'A' to 'E' columns.

Inserting sketches and text boxes

The procedure for inserting shape code 99 sketches and text boxes is similar. Text boxes are useful for calling up
500m of H12 bars supplied in random, straight lengths.
Prepare your bar schedule leaving some blank row(s) for your sketch or text box.
Using the SAVE button on the spreadsheet, save your schedule(s) to a bardata spreadsheet file.

USING THE SDI EXPORT FACILITY

When exporting to these files, there are a few rules to follow in order to comply with the SteelPac Data Interchang
1) Only one drawing number and one job number is allowed in a spreadsheet, i.e. all schedules must have the sam
the same job number.
2) All schedules must have a drawing number and a unique schedule number.
3) All schedules must have a job number.
4) Bar marks must not be duplicated within a member.
5) Each bar mark must have the member column completed.
6) The member information for a bar mark must not overflow into the subsequent row.
7) Bar marks marked deleted may not be re-used within a member.
Completing the member column
The export facility will automatically complete the entering of information into the member column!
As long as member information is entered for one bar mark, the export facility will automatically copy that informat
marks until new member information is encountered. The new member information will then be copied to subsequ
will be ignored.
For the automatic generation of member information to work at least one member must be completed, either on th
empty row prior to the very first bar mark. If this is not complied with the export facility will abort.
The automatically generated member information will be displayed in white which will not print out on schedules.

Reset button
The reset button will remove all automatically generated member data from the schedules leaving the manually co
information intact.
