CHAPTER 2

2 DRAFT features

DRAFT is the drawing production module of AVEVA Plant PDMS. It allows the designer to generate fully annotated engineering drawings directly from data in the PDMS Design model. Drawings can be easily updated to reflect changes in the design model.

Within DRAFT there a number of applications that are used for specific functions associated with the production of drawings. These applications are

ƒ General

ƒ Auto drawing production

ƒ AutoDRAFT

ƒ Administration

The DRAFT GUI has been designed to allow the designer to generate and retrieve industry standard engineering drawings efficiently.

The designer can add dimensioning and other annotations with information taken directly from the model. The DRAFT drawing can be created with any view angle and the representation of the drawing graphics is controlled by representation rules that are pre-defined by the project administrator.

Various levels of wireline and hidden line removal can be used. Sectional views can be generated by the creation of flat or stepped section planes. The scale of the drawing can be selected from a set of Metric, Architectural and Engineering values, with the option of an automatic scale selection to use the largest scale possible for the given drawing.

Labels can be attached to any design element and used to display any attribute of the design element. The format, content and appearance of the labels are controlled by the designer. Direct reference to the design data, combined with a simple update operation, ensures that the annotation always reflects the current state of the design model.

Autotagging is a quick solution for automatically generating labels that match a tagging rule. The rule determines the type of label and which design items the labels will be applied to.

Dimensions are calculated directly from the design model, the designer can control the format, content and appearance of the dimensions. As with labeling, direct reference to the design data ensures that the annotation always reflects the current state of the design model with a simple update operation.

2D drafting allows the designer to generate additional 2D annotation on the drawing sheet. Also, like other DRAFT data, 2D annotation can be linked to design data and can be updated to follow the changes that occur in the design model.

Automatic drawing production is not covered in this training course. As the title of the application infers, this application enables the designer to produce annotated drawings automatically. A set of rules determine how the annotation is generated. The drawings can be edited, if necessary, using the normal editing options in DRAFT. There are a number of ADP applications for different disciplines.

AutoDRAFT is not covered in the training course. This application imports drawings directly from DRAFT into AutoCAD. However it should be noted that once this action is done, the drawing in AutoCAD has no direct link to the design model, data and future updates of this AutoCAD drawing are not possible from the model. Symbols and drawing frames can be exported from AutoCAD directly into DRAFT.

(12)

www.aveva.com

Administration is not covered in this training course. Using this application, the project administrator is responsible for the customization of the DRAFT environment. This includes setting default attribute values, creating drawing frames, (commonly referred to as backing sheets), symbols and labels. The administrator will also set the representation rules, labelling rules, naming conventions, lines styles, hatch patterns and available symbology.

L

Note: The Administration Option is only available to Free Users or Members of the DRAFTADMIN Team

CHAPTER 4

4 The PDMS DRAFT database hierarchy

4.1 DRAFT database hierarchy

As with all database elements, the owning elements can contain any number of legal members, as shown in the above hierarchy chart. The DEPT, REGI and DRWG elements can be viewed in the DRAFT explorer, but cannot be displayed graphically.

The principal element is the Drawing (DRWG) element. All elements below the DRWG in the hierarchy are used to store the information required to completely define the drawing. A drawing can contain one or more Sheet (SHEE) elements. A Sheet is the highest level element that can be displayed in the graphical view. A drawing can own one or more Sheet (SHEE) elements.

A sheet can own one or more VIEW elements. These views are projections of parts of the design database. A view element has attributes that;

• Define the viewing parameters (view direction, through point and scale).

• Define the size, position and orientation of the region on the sheet.

• Refer to a drawlist that contains a list of the DESIGN elements that are to be displayed in the VIEW picture. WORLD DEPT DEPT REGI REGI DRWG DRWG SHEE SHEE

CHAPTER 5

5 Creating Drawings and sheets

5.1 Creating Drawings and Sheets

There are two methods of creating Drawings, Explicitly or From Template.

Both methods are available, regardless of whether the drawing is created by checking the Create Drawing button on the Registry Information form, or by selecting Create > Drawing at the Draft General bar menu and selecting Explicitly, Template or Default Template

5.1.1 Creating Drawings from a Template

If a drawing is created from a template, several other elements will be created automatically. The Drawing will own a Sheet, which will own at least one View. The View will own several Layers, which are discussed later.

There may be other elements, such as Sheet Notes, which are used to store text and primitives for the 2D Drafting.

The Drawing will also own a Library. Draft makes extensive use of libraries, which are set up by the System Administrator. Users can only extract information from libraries; not change them.

Libraries are used to store things like symbols and Drawlists (which you will use later to define the contents of a View). Libraries are accessed by the Application automatically and, therefore, you will not need to access them directly.

Navigate to the Registry /TRAINING_REGI created earlier.

(32)

www.aveva.com

The Drawing and Sheet Templates form enables you to select the source of the template and the drawing size.

L

Note: At the top of the form, the Create Mode is set to Drawing from Template. If the form is used for creating a Sheet, the Create Mode is set to Sheet from Template, but otherwise the form is unchanged.

The From pull down list displays the available discipline registry that contain the drawing templates, as set up by the System Administrator.

Select Equipment Registry

Select A0 Equipment Drawing

If the Use Default Naming is checked, then the default naming convention will be used, which is DR1, DR2 etc.

If this option is not checked then a name form will be displayed after clicking on the OK button. Unset Use Default Naming and Select OK.

(33)

AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Drawing Production (Basic) TM-1002

CHAPTER 6

6 Creation and modification of Views

This chapter covers the creation and modification of views. Views created by Drawing and Sheet templates will require to be modified, whilst Drawing and Drawing Sheets created explicitly will need to have views created.

6.1 User defined view

User-Defined Views are used to draw individual items or groups of items in the design model, when the volume or limits of the items are not known. The size of the frame is independent of its contents. The scale can be automatically set to fit the design elements into the available view frame area.

6.2 Creation of user defined VIEW

A view is owned by a SHEE element, so before creation of a view ensure that the correct SHEE element is selected.

Navigate to /DRWG_2/S1

From the main bar menu select Create>View>User Defined, the Create VIEW form is displayed.

The name is derived from the owning element and can be accepted. Select OK

6.2.1 User Defined View (Frame menu)

The Frame form menu enables you to switch the view frame on or off, to control the size of the frame, its position on the Sheet and its alignment relative to any other view that may be on the Sheet. The menu has the following options:

• On/Off – toggles the display of the view frame

• Size • Copy size • Position • Align

(38)

www.aveva.com

6.2.1.1 Frame>Size

This option has a sub-menu that allows you to set the size of the view frame in different ways:

• Cursor – displays the Point Construction Option Form. This enables the opposing corners of the view frame to be selected graphically.

The View Frame should be resized to be a big as possible within the allowable Backing Sheet Frame. Select Frame > Size

Select 2D Cursor Hit

Using the Cursor Resize the View Window using a diagonal window.

• Explicit – displays the Explicit Frame Size Form. This resizes the frame by defining its size in terms of sheet co-ordinates or proportions.

(39)

AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Drawing Production (Basic) TM-1002

www.aveva.com

6.2.1.2 Frame>Copy Size

This option has a sub-menu that allows you to copy the Width, Height or Width and Height of another view on the Sheet:

• Width - will prompt the user to identify (with the cursor) a view whose width is too copied. The width of the current view will then change to be the same as that of the identified view.

• Height - will prompt the user to identify (with the cursor) a view whose height is to be copied. The height of the current view will then change to be the same as that of the identified view.

• Width & Height - will prompt the user to identify (with the cursor) a view whose width and height are to be copied. The width and height of the current view will then change to be the same as that of the identified view.

6.2.1.3 Frame>Position

This option has a sub-menu that allows you to position the frame in different ways:

• Cursor - enables the user to use the cursor to move the view frame by nominating a point in the view, using the option from the sub menu. The nominated point will move to the cursor position when the left hand mouse button is clicked

• Explicit – displays the Explicit Frame Position form. This enables the user to position the view frame by defining it Sheet position in terms of sheet co-ordinates or proportions

6.2.1.4 Frame>Align

This option has a sub-menu that allows you to align a specified axis or edge of the current view with the same axis or edge of another selected view on the Sheet.

• Centre Vert - will prompt the user to identify (with the cursor) a view whose centre you wish the current view’s centre to align with vertically. The position of the current view will then change to align the view centres vertically.

• Centre Horiz - will prompt the user to identify (with the cursor) a view whose centre you wish the current view’s centre to align with horizontally. The position of the current view will then change to align the view centres horizontally.

• Top - will prompt the user to identify (with the cursor) a view whose top edge you wish the current view’s top edge to align with. The position of the current view will then change to align the views top edges.

• Bottom - will prompt the user to identify (with the cursor) a view whose bottom edge you wish the current view’s bottom edge to align with. The position of the current view will then change to align the views bottom edges.

• Left - will prompt the user to identify (with the cursor) a view whose left edge you wish the current view’s left edge to align with. The position of the current view will then change to align the views left edges.

• Right - will prompt the user to identify (with the cursor) a view whose right edge you wish the current view’s right edge to align with. The position of the current view will then change to align the views right edges.

(40)

www.aveva.com

6.2.2 User Defined View (View menu)

The View form menu enables the user to toggle the display of the view on or off, set the Design co-ordinates corresponding to the centre of interest of the view and offset the Design element graphics with respect to the centre of the view. The menu has the following options:

• On/Off – toggles the display of the view.

• Centre • Offset

6.2.2.1 View>Centre

This option has a sub-menu which allows the designer to select the centre of interest of the view in different ways:

• Identify - will prompt the user to identify a design element to be the centre of interest of the view.

• Cursor - displays the Point Construction Form and prompts the user to select a point with the cursor to become the centre of interest.

• By Cursor – displays the Point Construction Form and prompts the user to select a base point and displacement with the cursor to move the centre of interest of the view.

• Explicit – displays the User Defined Centre Position form which enables the user to enter co-ordinates for the centre of the view

6.2.2.2 View>Offset

Displays the Design Graphics Offset Form.

This form enables the user to position the centre of the view contents, relative to the view centre.

(41)

AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Drawing Production (Basic) TM-1002

www.aveva.com

6.2.3 User Defined View (Graphics menu)

The Graphics form menu enables the user to create and modify Drawlists as well as setting the Drawlist Reference for the view.

A Drawlist holds a list of Design elements that determine what will be displayed in the view. Drawlists are independent of the views, therefore, a sheet may contain several views that refer to the same Drawlist or several views that refer to different Drawlists.

Drawlists (IDLI elements) are stored in Drawlist Libraries (DLLB elements). When a Drawing is created, a library containing a default Drawlist Library is automatically created and may be used as the Drawlist for any views created on Sheets owned by that Drawing. Specific Drawlists for specific views may also be created and stored in the default Drawlist Library or in another Drawlist Library located elsewhere in the project, depending on the set-up by the Draft Administrator.

The menu has the following options:

• Drawlist • Drawlist Ref

6.2.3.1 Graphics>Drawlist Displays the Drawlist Management Form

The Drawlist Library pull down list gives a list of the available Drawlist Libraries.

The Drawlists window is a scrollable list of all the Drawlists available within the selected Drawlist Library. In the example above only the default drawlist, created automatically during Drawing creation is shown

The Reference List Members window displays the Design Members of the current MDB, if selected from the scrollable list.

(42)

www.aveva.com

If Drawlists is selected from the scrollable list, the available

Drawlists will be displayed.

If Lists have been previously defined, they will be available for selection. If there are no Lists defined, or a list is required, clicking the Lists button will display the List/Collection form. Having defined a new List, clicking the Update button will display all defined Lists in the scrollable list for selection.

For information on Lists please refer to TM-1001 AVEVA Plant (12 Series) PDMS Foundations

The Drawlist Members window displays the Design elements or Drawlists that have been selected to be members of the current Drawlist. In the example above, no members have been selected yet.

Items are added to the Drawlist by selecting them from the Reference Members List, or a List / Collection name from the scrollable list, and clicking the Add button. This creates an Add Element (ADDE) element in the Drawlist Members window. Specific items may also be removed from the Drawlist by selecting them in the Reference Members List, or a List/Collection name from the scrollable list, and clicking the Remove button. This creates a Remove Element (REME) element in the Drawlist Members window.

For example, all equipment except /1301 may be required to be displayed in the view. Rather than adding each piece of equipment separately, the zone /EQUIPMENT may be added and the specific piece of equipment /1301 subsequently removed from the Drawlist.

The Navigation form menu offers an alternative method of navigation. The options are similar as those available from the Navigation pull down menu of the Members list. Note: If the Members list is displayed, it will be removed while the Draw List Management form is displayed.

The buttons to the right of the Drawlists window, control the creation and deletion of Drawlists:

• Create – creates a new empty drawlist

• Create Copy – creates a copy of the drawlist selected from the available drawlist libraries

• Delete – deletes the currently selected drawlist

• Clean Up – removes any drawlist members with Null or Bad references

The Delete Entry and Delete All buttons, delete the current highlighted entry from the Drawlist or all Drawlist members respectively.

The Volume Defined and Limits buttons, enable the addition of all elements that are positioned wholly within a defined volume. Clicking the

(43)

AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Drawing Production (Basic) TM-1002

www.aveva.com

Limits button will display the Drawlist Limits form.

The limits are set by entering appropriate co-ordinates for opposing corners of the limits volume. After setting the limits clicking the Volume Defined button adds all elements wholly within the entered co-ordinates. If required, the Remove or Delete Entry buttons may be used to amend the Drawlist.

6.2.3.2 Adding Design Elements to the Drawlist (Example)

Display the Drawlist Graphics > Drawlist Navigate to the EQUIPMENT Zone in the STABILIZER Site

Select the Add Button

The Equipment zone will be added to Drawlist Members

Repeat the process for EQUIP-STRU and PIPEWAY

6.2.3.3 Graphics>Drawlist Ref Displays the Drawlist Management Form

This form enables you to reference the current view to a Drawlist so that the Drawlist Members are displayed in the view. It should be noted that a view may only reference one Drawlist.

The Options scrollable list allows the owning Sheet’s or the owning Drawing’s Drawlist to be used. The VIEW’s current Drawlist may be used, or the Drawlist reference may be unset.

The Drawlist Library scrollable list allows you to choose from a list of Drawlist Libraries, as set up by your Draft Administrator. The ‘Drawing’ selection, as shown above,

(44)

www.aveva.com

refers to the Drawlist Library created automatically when the views owning Drawing was created.

The Drawlist Contents window displays the contents of the selected Drawlist when the Display button is clicked. This allows you to check the contents of the Drawlist you have selected.

The Modify button displays the Drawlist Management form enabling you to modify or create a new Drawlist as described previously.

6.2.4 User Defined View (General)

6.2.4.1 Title

In Draft we always draw intelligently so it is normal practice to display the view title from the database to avoid free text.

6.2.4.2 View Type

A view type must be selected. The pull down menu displays the following (refer to appendix A)

• Universal Hidden Line – causes intersection lines between significant elements to be generated

• Global Hidden Line – gives a picture where all hidden lines are removed

• Local Hidden Line – gives a picture where all hidden lines are removed from equipment elements. Where two or more equipment elements overlap, the overlapping elements are shown in wireline

• Modelled Wireline – blends the intersection of primitives

• Wireline – Shows all elements and points 6.2.4.3 Section Mode:

A section mode must be selected. The pull down menu displays the following

• Standard – this option sections all Design elements where appropriate

• Omit Fractional Pipe Components – this option removes any partial pipe components from the display, where the P0 is outside the front and back sectioning planes. All lengths of implied tube that are outside the front and back sectioning planes will be removed from the drawlist.

(45)

AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Drawing Production (Basic) TM-1002

www.aveva.com

6.2.4.4 Style

The scrollable list shows the available Representation Rulesets (RRST) elements that are used to control the display representation of the different types of Design elements within the view. Representation Rulesets are created by the Draft Administrator.

6.2.4.5 Hatching Rules

The scrollable list displays the available Hatching Rulessets that are used to control the hatching of different types of Design elements that may be cut when a section is applied. Hatching Rulesets are created by the Draft Administrator.

6.2.4.6 Change Rules

The scrollable list shows the available Change Rulesets that are used to control the appearance of changed Design elements and annotation on subsequent updates of the drawing.

For the use of Change Rulesets please refer to TM-1206 Drawing Production (Advanced). 6.2.4.7 Direction

The required view direction may be selected from the pull-down list of pre-defined directions. Alternatively, a view direction, e.g. N 45 E, may be typed into the text box. The Derived button will prompt you to identify a design element in the Graphics area for setting the view direction.

6.2.5 User Defined View (Scale)

L

For Draft to calculate a scale, the drawlist must contain elements.

• Auto Scale – this sets the view scale such that all of the design elements in the Drawlist will fit just within the view frame. The actual scale will be displayed in the Scale text box. The Auto Scale operation also sets the through point to the Site coordinates corresponding to the centre of interest of the view.

• Nearest – it is unlikely that Auto Scale will produce a standard scale for the view. Clicking the Nearest button will select the nearest available standard scale, based on the metric,

architectural or engineering scale option selected, and set the view scale. The standard scales can also be selected from the scrollable list next to the Nearest button.

6.2.5.1 User Defined View (Scale) (Example) Select Auto Scale button followed by the Nearest Button, this should give a scale of 1/50.

6.2.6 User Defined View (Intelligent text)

Please refer to this option earlier in the text as is the same as at DEPT and REGI elements. 6.2.7 User Defined View (Attributes)

Clicking on the Attributes button on the User Defined View Form displays the User Defined View Attributes Form.

The following attributes of the view can be modified from this form

• Graphics Angle – controls the angle of the design graphics within the view. A positive angle gives an anti-clockwise rotation. The view direction remains the same.

• View orientation - controls the orientation of the view and its contents. The selectable directions correspond to the direction of the ‘top’ of the view region relative to the top of the screen, e.g. selection of Right will cause the view and its contents to be rotated through 270 degrees.

• Arc Tolerance - controls the difference between the ‘true’ and the ‘facetted’ representation of curves of the graphical output for the view, being set in units of hundredths of a millimetre on the drawing. (default value 15.) The actual value used by DRAFT depends on the scale of the VIEW. The lowest value that it may be changed to is 1. Although lower values will give a better representation, the time required to display the graphics is increased.

• Perspective - a value of 0 gives a parallel view. The value is related to the view angle.

• Gapping Controls - the gap (in mm) inserted in view lines crossed by other lines such as centrelines, Plines, etc.

• Note Line Pen – this option controls the appearance of the view frame (assuming it is visible). The value set will also be cascaded down to any Layers subsequently created as members of the view. The Note line Pen may be one of the standard pens or a user-defined pen set-up by the Draft Administrator.

The colour assigned to the Note Line pen can be selected from the pull down menu.

(48)

www.aveva.com

Or by clicking on the Pick button a

colour palette is displayed and the colour can be selected

• The linestyle and thickness can be selected from the appropriate pull down menus.

6.2.8 User Defined View (Change Highlighting)

For information on Change Rulesets and Change Highlighting please refer to TM-1206 Drawing Production (Advanced).

6.2.9 User Defined View (Update Design on Apply)

Whenever any settings on the User-Defined View form are modified, the user must select Update Design and click Apply (or select Graphics>Update>Design from the main menu bar).

For Drawing production using a Background Process please refer to TM-1206 Drawing Production (Advanced).

6.2.10 Creating local rules

Local Rules may be set up as VIEW members in the same way as Library rules. The resulting graphical representation is determined as follows:

• Local Rules always have priority over Rules within Rulesets in Libraries.

A Rule’s priority is determined by its position in the list, the higher in list the higher its priority, but a Local Rule will still have a higher priority than the top Ruleset Rule. This means that the more specific rules should always be placed earlier in the list.

To create Local Rules select Create>View>Local Rules and the Local Rules form is displayed.

Click on Create and the Create RRUL form is displayed. Enter a name and click OK.

Select the elements for which the rule is to be applied, either by specifying the type from the pull down menu or toggling the name option and entering the name or names of elements. Set the criteria and select the style required from the available style libraries. These libraries will have been set up by the DRAFT administrator.

Click Apply and a local rule will be created and will apply to the current view element only.

6.3 Limits defined view

Limits-Defined Views are used to draw the contents of a specified volume of the model. The Limits, are defined in project co-ordinates, and are represented by the size of the View frame at the selected scale. The View frame can include matchlines with text showing the co-ordinates of the View limits.

6.4 Creation of limits defined VIEW

A view is owned by a SHEE element, so before creation of a view ensure that the correct SHEE element is selected. From the main bar menu select Create>View>Limits Defined, the Create VIEW form is displayed. The name is derived from the owning element and can be accepted. Select OK

The Limits Defined View form will then be displayed. The Limits-Defined View form is similar to the User-Defined View form, but has an additional Limits tab for setting the limits of the view. It also has a Matchlines check box, which switches matchlines on and off. Also, the Scale options are slightly different.
