To Add a Schedule

This task shows how to add a schedule to a drawing that contains the tagged parts for which you want to create a schedule. Before creating a schedule, you must add tags to the parts that you want to schedule.

You can also add a schedule in its own drawing, and link to an external drawing that contains the tagged parts.

To add a schedule

1. On the Tag and Schedule tool palette, click the schedule tool for the parts you want to schedule.
   Note: Alternatively, you can click Annotate tabScheduling panel Schedules drop-down, and select a schedule.
2. Select the objects in the drawing that you want to schedule.

   If you use a bounding box to select all objects within an area, you can filter the selection set using Quick Select in the Properties palette. If the schedule table style is configured to use part classifications, you can select more than one type of objects, and only the parts with the appropriate classification are added to the schedule table.

   1. After you select all objects to schedule, press Enter.
3. Specify the location in the drawing for the upper-left corner of the schedule table.
4. Press Enter to size the schedule table automatically.

   You can also manually specify the lower-right corner of the table.

   The schedule table is added to the drawing, and its fields are populated with the property set data configured for the scheduled parts.

   

Because the schedule tables are dynamically linked to the parts, you can update schedule tables as you add, remove, or modify the scheduled parts in the drawing. You do not have to manually edit the schedule.

Tip: If the schedule displays each part in its own row, you can modify the schedule table style to group the same parts in a single row. Select the schedule table style in Style Manager Documentation Objects Schedule Table Styles. On the Columns tab, select Include Quantity Column, and click OK.
