BBS Program

BAR BENDING SCHEDULE PROGRAMOPTIONS SHOW HELPFIND SHAPE CODESSTART UPThis program has two Excel files1- BBS Format file is the file where you can enter the rebar details.2- BBS Program file is the supporting file to run the macro.Both files should be open, while preparing BBS.The Program file has two options for manual and machine bending. You have to choose the suitable option depending upon your method of bending. Cutting length formula between manual and machine bending are slightly different because of the variance in radius of bend. SHORT CUTSTo create shape and cutting length for a range: Control +Q. (Selection should be more than one shape code)To find shape codes: Control +Q (Selection should be a single cell)Print options: Control +TRECOMMENDED SETTINGS1) Disable Move selection after Enter. Tools Options > Edit Tab >remove tick mark of move selection after enter (In Excel 2010, Excel Options>Advanced>After pressing Enter, move selection- Uncheck)2) Border Style in BBS format: Hair Line (most thin line) OR no border with Page setup >Sheet > Gridlines. (In Excel 2010, Page Layout>Print Titles>Sheet>Grid Lines). 3) Print area setting: Summary located at the right side of detailed BBS. To print the summary as first page, set multiple print area range like S1:AB27,A:Q TROUBLESHOOTINGProblem: Undo button disabled after running macro Reason: Excel cannot undo anything after running macro Solution: No solution for this problem. Just remember that there is no undo command after running macro.Problem: VOID displays in Cutting Length cell Reason: Missing some parameters in the data entry. Solution: Ensure the Size of Bar, Number of Bars, Dimensions of shape A,B,C are entered.Problem: FALSE displays in Cutting Length cellReason: Formula miss-match with shape code due to unusual actions.Solution: Once again enter the shape code Problem:#VALUE! Display in weight cell or Summary Weight Cell.Reason: Any one of those Size of Bar, Number of Bar, or Cutting length is a non-numeric.Solution: Look over any of the cutting length displays VOID or FALSE. Ensure the Size of Bar, Number of Bars, Dimensions are numeric value.Problem: Colour of the cell in the weight column changed to BlueReason: Formula missing in that cellSolution: Copy and paste formula from the above cell. Problem: Red diagonal boarder appears in the dimension cellReason: This dimension is not necessary for that shape code. This will happen when you edit the shape code after putting up all the dimensions. Example L-bar shape code changed to straight bar shape codeSolution: Manually remove contents and the boarder format.Problem: Red diagonal boarder appears in the cutting length cellReason: Cutting length is manually entered before running the macro.Solution: Remove manual entry and once again enter shape code.Problem: Pagebreak view changed to normal view after running the macroReason: Macro command changes the pagebreak view to normal view to speed up the process. Problem: Shapes resized after copy paste.Reason: Row height is less than the required height.Solution: Once again enter the shape code to fix the row height according to the shape. Alternatively you can run Control +Q command after selecting the affected shape codes. Problem: BBS Program macro is slow in Excel 2007Solution: Upgrade to Excel 2010. It has proper speed when using BBS Program. Hiding rows that have shapes can increase some speed. TIPS FOR HANDLING DRAWING SHAPES:To select a range of shapes, use the selector (arrow pointer button) in the drawing tool bar.Do not use arrow keys when a shape is selected, this will displace the shape.USER FRIENDLY FACILITIES1) No need to remember all shape codes. Remember only the commonly used shapes such as straight bar, L bar, U bar, crank bar, ring etc. Rest of the shape codes could be found by filtering through a form by pressing Control Q.2) Do not worry about missing any dimension and mistake in cutting length or weight. Cutting length displays "VOID" until entering all the required parameters.3) The program automatically extends format and formula when the entry reaches up to the bottom.4) Description (first column) properly capitalizes, when entering the data in the next column.5) Selection automatically moves to the cell where the next entry is required.6) Validation in size of the bar prevents from entering any non-standard size of the bar7) While printing, there is an option for displaying either the picture or the spread sheet with dimensions.LIMITATIONS OF THE PROGRAM1) This program doesnt have any interface with software like CAD. So, program can't assign BBS directly from computer aided drawings.
