Calculate dimensions

The 'Calculate dimensions' function calculates the lengths and areas of Control cabinet components.

With the CCM menu command 'Automatic - calculate dimensions' you get the following dialog:

 

 

The Calculate button starts up the calculation across every page of the drawing. Each supplement part is shown on a separate row in the list.  For fixed components such as back plates the number of parts is shown as a total, for extendable components the total length is given in metres 'm'. In addition, even before a Control cabinet is constructed, the surface area requirements for all the parts in the component list can be calculated.  This sum is also governed by the cur­rent selection in the UFD list field (e.g. a unit designation). In addition the maximum depth is also calculated. This is useful for determining the necessary depth of the cabinet.
