Create Standard Assets in infrADAC

1Overview

Standard assets come from the active profile or Base Schema. ADACStandard opens the available catalogue and routes the selected definition through its configured geometry and attribute workflow.

Use this guide when

Creating a new ADAC asset rather than assigning data to existing geometry.

2Standard asset definition behaviour

The active profile controls the geometry, attributes and drawing presentation offered by the creation workflow.

Feature or choiceCurrent behaviour
Standard sourceUses the effective DefaultAssets definition: profile base plus any user standard override.Creation and audit reference the same schema.
IdentityA unique ADACId is generated/reserved or a valid custom value can replace it.Audit and supporting files can identify the asset reliably.
Property blockNormal single creation honours Show Attributes on Insert; bulk workflows intentionally suppress blocks.Visual labels remain optional and scalable.

3Create a schema-defined asset

Choose the definition first, then create only the geometry and attributes that its schema accepts.

Step 1
01

Open the standard asset selector

Choose the definition from the active catalogue.

  1. Run ADACStandard or choose Standard Asset from the interface.
  2. Search by class or name.
  3. Select the asset whose definition and geometry match the intended feature.
Open the standard asset selector in the current infrADAC interface
Image placeholderOpen the standard asset selectorShow the current infrADAC interface and result for: Choose the definition from the active catalogue.PLACEHOLDER_IMAGE_URL_STANDARD_ASSETS_STEP_01
Open the standard asset selector shown at this exact stage of the task.

4Product differences

The task is shared where possible, but selection, interface integration and model operations follow the host shown below.

infrADAC ACAD

Use the ribbon or ADACStandard; geometry is created in the AutoCAD database.

5Before you begin

  • Initialise the project and load the intended profile.
  • Set relevant global and asset-specific prefills.
  • Work on the intended layer and confirm drawing units.

6Troubleshooting

No standard assets are available

Verify the active profile/base standard contains a valid DefaultAssets file and reload the profile.

The created geometry is rejected

Check the definition's geometry intent in ADACLibrary and use a supported point, line/polyline, polygon or grouped construction.

The property block is missing

Check Settings > Show Attributes. The asset data can still be valid; use ADACRecreateAttributes when a block should exist.
