How to configure the BCT Inspector NX to stamp basic and reference dimensions with AutoCreate.

Configuration Guide:

Here I will show you some hints to automatic balloon Basic Dimensions (Box) and Reference Dimensions (Brackets) with BCT Inspector NX.


First a screenshot from our config guide ("....\inspector\bct_help\bct_inspector\Configuration_BCT_Inspector_en.pdf").

Here we check the columns where we track the different types of dimensions.

K2501 and K2503 are important. The next step is to add this values to the filters in bct_inspector_cfg.xml.


Bellow you see an excerpt from a standard inspector _cfg file. Yours may have slight differences. I did the changes only for dimension type. Not for Radius, Diameter, Angle, Depth and Chamfer!


Filter ID 29 ist the standard in the   <AutoCreate  filter="1-15,18-22,29-34,53" for dimension type. It has 2 relations 35 and 41. That means if ID 29 is called, it will also call 35 and 41.


In ID 35 we check K2501 and I changed the value from 2 to [1-2] and activate value_is_regexp="1".

​And the same for ID 41. We check K2503 and I increased the range from [0-2] to [0-3]. value_is_regexp="1" is already active in this filter.


If you want to do this for all types, you have to adjust the other IDs under 35 and under 41 in the same way.
