Reitec.Testplan
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
The engineer can mark distinctly all dimensions relevant for quality assurance during the preparation of the drawing. To do this, numerous functions are available in the drawing view. The main element is a stamp icon (a circle with an arrow and a number) that can be assigned to any check dimension. The arrow tip points to the associated check dimension. Each stamp icon is a sketched symbol. The name of the sketched symbol consists of the prefix “VDA_Stamp_” and the angle in degrees of the arrow.
Fully automatic marking: In automatic mode, a stamp icon is assigned to each dimension in the drawing. The marking is performed clockwise on each drawing view. All icons that are not needed can subsequently be deleted.
Manual marking: This function allows you to mark one or several particular dimensions. Reitec.Testplan automatically assigns the next free consecutive number. By design missing numbers are not reused automatically, to reuse it the user must use the function ‘Refresh / Re-number’.
Free marking: Particular geometric elements in a drawing cannot be marked in automatic mode. The elements that are not supported can be marked with a "free" icon.
Refresh/Re-number: In most cases, only particular dimensions in a drawing are relevant for testing. Other dimensions need not be marked. If the user deletes markings after an automatic run, the "Refresh/Re-number" function is available to re-establish the consecutive numbering. During the re-numbering process, the arrow points are freshly aligned to the associated geometric element.
Export: The export function allows the user to transfer the check data automatically from the drawing to a machine-readable format without manual intervention. In this process, all marked dimensions are evaluated and exported to a csv-file together with all relevant details (number, value, tolerance and unit).

Commands
| Ribbon/Toolbar Icon | Command | Command Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Generate Stamp Icons |
Automatically adds stamp icons to all the dimensions of the sheet. This is done view by view in a clockwise order. The stamp numbers are calculated in an ascending way. |
|
Edit |
Shows a dialog where the user can edit the data of the selected characteristic. |
|
Delete all |
Deletes all stamp icons in the drawing. |
|
Add Free Stamp Icon |
Not all items in the Autodesk® Inventor® drawing view can be automatically marked with an icon. To be able to mark such elements, a free symbol of any type can be created. |
|
Stamp wizard |
Create similar testplans with a consistent order of the dimensions for similar products. |
|
Refresh |
Rearranges the stamp icons so that the stamp arrow points towards the attached dimension. The numbers will be preserved. |
|
Export |
Saves all dimension values and the tolerances into a csv-file or an excel-file. |
|
Add Stamp Icon |
Add a stamp icon for the selected dimensions. The user can freely define the number to use or use the preset value. Numbers are unique within a drawing. |
|
Refresh and Renumber |
Rearranges the stamp icons, so that the stamp arrow points towards the attached dimension. Also the numbers will be recalculated so that there are no spaces. |
|
Copy All |
Copies all inspection characteristics (symbols) of the current inspection plan layer to another inspection plan layer. |
|
Create table |
With the command 'Create table' a table with test characteristics can be inserted into the drawing. |
|
Project parameter |
Shows the dialog for editing the project parameters. |
