Field type   : Process_sketch

Data type    : Integer (4)

Description:

Profile sketches are normally only generated for profiles which contain cutouts and/or (D/V) holes or when bending information is necessary. This is the default setting in the "Create Production information" function "Only when necessary".

This field can have one of the following values:

1 - a profile sketch is not necessary

2 - a profile sketch is necessary

3 - a profile sketch is never necessary

4 - a profile sketch is always necessary

The values '1' and '2' are automatically determined by the system after each modification to the profile when the profile has one of these values already as its value but also at the moment sketches are being made and the profile has either value '1' or '2'.

By including this field in a logistical data menu you are able to overrule this automatically determined value using the "Logistics" -> "Logistical data" option.

When sketches are being made of 'All profiles' instead of 'Only when necessary', all profiles within the selection for which 'a profile sketch is not necessary' (value '1') will be changed to the indication that 'a profile sketch is always necessary' (value '4').

Profiles with the value 3 will be skipped when sketches are being made with the function 'Only when necessary' even if these profiles contains cutouts and/or (D/V) holes or bending information.
