Tabs and entries to User Routing Settings :
The User Routing Settings window (this window) can be used in a full-featured SDS2 program (but not in Site Planning) to set up categories that can be applied to members or material. For example, users of a full-featured SDS2 program might want to enter terms like 'two coat' or 'galvanized'. Or they might want to name a configuration 'shop operation' and enter categories like 'beam line' or 'CNC punch' or 'CNC drill'. The window has four different sets of definitions (routing configurations), each of which has a different tab. Definitions from different configurations are entered (during automatic detailing ) to a different column in the bill of material.

Configuration names: Since users of a full-featured SDS2 program can change the names of configurations but their numbers are permanent, help often refers to a configuration by its number ( or 2 or 3 or 4 ). The configuration titles are the Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Bill of Material Layout " Header . . ." strings for " Mult. Cutting # " (configuration 1 ), " Labor Code " (configuration 2 ), " Job Cost Code " (configuration 3 ), and " Remarks " (configuration 4 ).

To review member/material definitions in Modeling and the Drawing Editor :
Use Model > Status Display > Member status > Member route . . . to set display colors for members that have been assigned particular routing definitions.
Use Model > Status Display > Material status > Material route . . . to set display colors for materials that have been assigned particular routing definitions.
Open a member detail in the Drawing Editor . Do an Edit Bill and look at the information compiled in the columns that are by default named " Mult. Cutting # ," " Labor Code ," " Job Cost Code " and " Remarks ." You can also get this information using a Bill of Material Report of Details .
The Sheet Loading Report can be configured (in a full-featured SDS2 program ) to sort members by definition.
