Composite Panel Builder Key Features

The CPB software is so efficient that jobs that would usually take several days to complete will now only take a few hours. Here are a few Features that will boost your efficiency.






The Project-Setup dialog interface makes it easy to configure the properties of each composite panel project while maintaining the company core standards and deliverables.

The CPB software uses a unique PROJECT.INI file for each project. This INI stores the requirements of the project like; material finishes, rivet/pilot hole size and spacing, weep locations, clip spacing, customer info and much more. Because these files are unique to each project, changes made to any setting is only reflected in that project.
Benefits





The built-in tools of the CPB software makes it effortless to create a large area of panels in seconds using the centerlines of the reveals. Which are the verticies of polyline entities.
Benefits



The CPB software is ideal for assigning panel shapes and tag names to existing architectural backgrounds.

Benefits



The built-in CPB profiles makes easy work of those time-consuming panel designs by simply assigning the appropriate profile to the elevation panel. The profiles use linked plans and or sections to determine the finished design. This eliminates the need for additional data entry.
Benefits



Return types and lengths may vary within a single panel based on its physical locaton. The CPB software can assign multiple label types to individual elevation panel edges for just the right fit.


Benefits

Benefits



To save time the CPB software can automatically detect same size panel shapes and label the elevation with a duplicate tag. The flat panel will only need to be created once with a quantity field assigned.

If a shape size has already been assigned a panel tag, that tag will be shown in all other panel shapes within parenthesizes. These tags will be used to determine the quantity of similar panels to manufacture. Tags can easily be deleted and another panel placed into its location with its own unique ID.
Benefits



The CPB export utilities will send complete optimized cut sheet layouts or single flat panel designs to the current project folder so the CNC operator can import the designs into the CNC software. Output formats include DWG, DXF and PDF.

Depending on the material finish or color, the files will be written to the destination folder under the subfolder of the matching material finish. This will ensure that panels of different materials will be kept isolated from each other.
