General Arrangement Drawing - Show vacuum rings?

General Arrangement Drawing - Show vacuum rings?

General Arrangement Drawing - Show vacuum rings?

(OP)
I occasionally use the General Arrangement Drawing option within Compress.  I notice the drawing does not show vacuum rings.  Is this an option that can be checked?  If not, possibly if enough people use the GA and would like to see vacuum rings, this option could be added in the future.

Thank you,

piaengr,

I was surprised as well not to see vacuum rings on the GA drawing. In discussion with our programmers, this issue is on our program development list (item # 5916) as to be added as time permits. A number of features remain needed on the GA drawing.

Tom,
It's good to hear this will likely be added in the future.  The GA is a handy tool.  I often provide this drawing to our estimating department when we are quoting a vessel. It also is useful to provide information to drafting to initiate fabrication drawings.

Thank you for your response.
