You can filter your selection on drawing types in the Type field.
Only drawings matching the selected type will be listed.
However, if the type is "General Drawing", drawings with
"undefined" drawing type will also be included in the result list.
Drawings generated in Outfitting Draft have undefined drawing
type.
There is an option to open the drawing in read-only mode by
checking the Read-only check box. With this functionality you
will not claim the drawing for other users. In the read-only mode
you will actually be working in a temporary copy of the selected
drawing. You should not do any permanent changes to this
drawing. The drawing cannot be saved, neither with "Save
Drawing" nor with "Save Drawing As". You can only do "export
SDB". This copy is disconnected from the PADD database and
for that reason it is not possible to do changes that requires a
PADD database, for example:
Draw outfitting
The user can, before opening the drawing, control the initial
appearance of the drawing with respect to Envelopes (however,
envelopes already defined in the drawing are not affected).
Select the desired alternative in the Envelope radio box:
The user can also, before opening the drawing, control the
automatic expanding of Drawing References. The Expand
Drawing References check box is used for this purpose.
If you click the Open via Link button, this will open a dialog that
will let you select a drawing reference in the link documents
hierarchy.

default the name suggested is the name of the selected drawing.
It is important to notice than that an export followed by an import
may cause loss of data in the PADD database. If you first export
a drawing, delete the drawing in PADD and then import it again
the resulting PADD data may not be the same as for the original
drawing. The reason for this is that some data of a drawing only
exist in PADD and not in the drawing object stored in the SDB
file. PADD data can be lost for:

track and optionally remove all models in the drawing that is not
found in the data bank.
Note that the criteria for 'out-of-date' is controlled by time stamps
solely: a model is considered 'out-of-date' if the creation date of
the model in the drawing is older that the date of the model in the
data bank. This means that a model may be considered out-ofdate, even if the graphic representation in the drawing will be the
same after exchange.
It is possible to let the system automatically validate the drawing
when brought in from the data bank (via File/Open).The value of
the default keyword VALIDATE_MODELS_WHEN_OPEN_DWG

If the User selects an element that is on an external boundary
then the system automatically responds by drawing three
consecutive external boxes around the selected subpicture,
representing the three possible levels. This signifies that all
information is at 'level 1' only.
If the User selects an entity that is within the overall geometry
then the system responds by drawing a box, representing the
lowest level, that is level 3, around the internal elements, and
levels 1 and 2 boxes around the overall sub-picture again.
The User can select the level either by clicking the level number

SYMBOL
OPEN
If the user then clicks OK, the dialog box is then replaced on the
screen by an enlarged copy of the selected symbol, created in a
drawing form of size 511*511. This representation of the symbol
is held in a drawing named FONT<font number>SYMB<symbol
number>. It is to be noted that the original font and symbol
number will be save by the system, along with the drawing to be
used, when recreating the symbol.
The User can then update, modify, etc., this symbol using the
basic Drafting facilities of the system. In order to assist him the
symbol is automatically exploded, that is degenerated into its
original geometric elements, e.g. contours and chains.
Furthermore, the connections and text positions, if any and that
would have been established when the symbol was first created
and entered into the symbol file, will be shown as internal
symbols, showing the point and vector of each connection and
text position. The connections will be shown in white and the text
positions in red.

SAVE
Purpose:
Instructions:
The first task is to key-in, into the dialog box that appears on the
screen, the 'symbol font' ID number that is to be used, noting that
this must be unique and not one that is already used within the
'symbol font' set. When this input has been entered and the OK
button has been clicked, the display returns to the open drawing.
It is recommended that a drawing form of size 511*511 is used
when creating symbols from scratch. (This drawing form is
automatically created by the system when a symbol is fetched for
any subsequent updating.)
The User can then employ the full Drafting capability of the
system in order to create a symbol, inclusive of geometry and
text, which meets the design needs.
The 'symbol' object, when deemed by the User to be complete,
will then be scanned for 'contours' that define the shape of the
symbol. It is to be noted that geometric or text items that are
partly outside of the boundary of the drawing form will, after
verification, be omitted from the final symbol. Thus the User
needs to exercise some discipline in ensuring that the contours
and text that define the required symbol lay completely within the
drawing form. The User should note that in subsequent
applications of a symbol within a new drawing that he can, of
course, change the relative scale of the symbol at that time.
The total size of a single symbol is internally maximised by the
system and will be checked against the symbol shape definition.
If the system considers that the shape is too complicated, then
the User will receive an error message and the symbol creation
process will be aborted by the system. The User can reduce the
apparent 'complexity' of a symbol by 'chaining' geometric
elements together, as described in the corresponding Drafting
function.

Purpose:
Instructions:
Cursor-select the symbol that is to be exploded and click the lefthand button once. The system responds by highlighting the
selected symbol. If the correct symbol has been identified then
cursor-select the 'operation complete' icon.
The User can then select any of the constituent geometric
elements of the original symbol and undertake any operations on
that original uncoupled element that may be deemed to be
necessary, e.g. delete it, move it, etc.
This facility provides a form of local control over the geometry of
the symbol. However it must be used with care as the various
components can no longer be manipulated in a contiguous
manner.

With the cursor select the entity, (line, arc, or spline, etc.,) in
which the gap is to be created.
With the cursor select the first intersecting entity, (again a line,
arc, or spline, etc.), picking a segment on the entity that is a
close as possible to the intersection point. Repeat this for the
segment on the intersecting entity that is as close as possible to
the second intersection point. Note that the User can select two
different intersecting entities in order to create the gap definition.
The system highlights the gap that is created and enables the
User to accept or reject it.
If the entity, in which the gap is to be introduced, is of a closed
contour form, then the User generally needs to select which part
of the geometric entity to remove. The default is that the shortest
length segment between the two intersection points is removed
and this is what the User required to accept or reject. If he rejects
this then the system requires that he accepts or rejects the other
possible segment, again with the segment that is to be removed
being highlighted. If the User rejects this segment then no gap is
created.
Options:
The only options are to reject the gap that is created before it is
incorporated in the definition of the selected entity and to select
the required segment to be removed in order to create a gap in a
closed contour.

Option 1. Elbow
This option allows the User to replace a single contour segment
by two adjacent straight-line segments, meeting at a User
defined 'crack' point
Options 2 to 5
These four options require the same graphics screen input from
the User, however the methods whereby the system
accomplishes the 'stretching' operation itself, and then creates
the corresponding result, differ.
Basically the User moves a selected region, in an orthogonal
manner, to a new location on the screen and if required rotates it
in any direction and by any amount, either before or after
translation. Although these simple manipulations will suffice for
many design purposes the User can actually invoke all of the
Transformation functions that are available within the system,
as made available within the function Modify / Transform /
GEO. The system then stretches the connecting geometry,
outside of the selected region, in order to meet with the
transformed region.
The User positions the cursor at an appropriate point and clicks
the Left-hand button once. As he then moves the cursor the
system continuously draws an orthogonal rectangular box with
the previously selected point as one corner and the current
position of the cursor as the diagonally opposite corner. When a
box has been created that covers the region to be transformed
then the User clicks the left-hand button again.
It is most important to note that the lines and other geometric
entities that cross into, and out of, the box are the entities that
are to be eventually stretched by this function, in a manner that
also depends on the type of geometric entity. Hence the User
needs to ensure that geometric entities that are to be
transformed within the box are completely within the box. This
applies to, for example, arcs and circles that may pass out of and
then re-enter the box, as the parts that are outside of the box will
be held fixed and will not be moved as the other parts of the
same element are transformed within the box.
After the User has accepted the position and size of the box, and
has clicked the left-hand button the second time, then a vertical
tool bar appears, offering all of the transformation icons.
After the transformation activity has been completed, the
transformed contents of the box will remain on the screen,
together with the original position of the box and its original
contents. The User should then select the 'operation complete'
icon and the resulting fully-connected 'stretched' structure will
then appear on the screen.

4. Text Properties
This sub-function lets the user change the text properties in a
dimensioning. It is also possible to change the properties of
individual texts in a linear multi-dimensioning (i.e. containing
several measure texts).
Initially, the system asks the user to indicate the dimension to
update. Click Options to modify individual texts in a linear multidimensioning. After indicating the dimensioning, or the specific
dimension text to modify, the system displays the Text Property
Dialogue showing the current properties of selected item.
After making the desired changes in the dialog, click OK to
update the selected dimensioning with the new properties.
Note: This function is applicable on linear, radius, diameter and
angular dimensionings.
5. Edit Dimension Text
This subfunction lets the user change the value of the dimension
text in a dimensioning component (corresponding to the
Dimension Text field in e.g. the Linear Dimensioning
dialogue). It is also possible to change the value of individual
texts in a linear multi-dimensioning (i.e. containing several
measure texts).
Initially, the system asks the user to indicate the dimension to
update. Click Options to modify individual texts in a linear multidimensioning. After indicating the dimensioning, or the specific
dimension text to modify, the system displays the current value in
the Text Edit dialog. After changing the value, click OK to update
the selected dimensioning.
When editing an individual dimension text in a linear
dimensioning, it is possible to flip between the intelligent
(original) text and the evaluated text as the predefined value in
the Edit Text dialog by clicking the Options button. Note that the
Options button will be enabled only if the evaluated text differs
from the intelligent text.
Note: This function is applicable on linear, radius, diameter and
angular dimensionings.
6. Move Dimension Text
This sub-function lets the user move an individual text in a linear
dimensioning of type "normal" or "chain" to an arbitrary position.
In case the user indicates a dimensioning other than above
mentioned the text can still be moved but the difference is that
the new position will not be persisted, implying that a subsequent re-evaluation from PADD will undo the modification.
The system asks the user to indicate the dimension text to move,
whereafter the selected text is dragged into desired new position.
Note: This function is applicable on linear, radius, diameter and
angular dimensionings.

Introduction
AVEVA Marine Drafting is part of the AVEVA Marine modelling software. It has two main
purposes:
1.1
To support the user with drafting tools (automatic, semi-automatic and manual) that
allows the user to create any type of drawing within the ship building process.
To act as an interface for the Hull modelling activities; drawings are created while the
model is defined.
General
The AVEVA Marine Drafting application is a comprehensive system for design and drafting
activities. The system covers the following major activities:
Retrieval and viewing of AVEVA Marine model information (hull model objects, pipes,
equipment, cableways, assemblies etc.). The model information can be projected and
intersected for creating 2D drawings, with hidden lines removed. Hull information can
be presented symbolically in a way suitable for ship building purposes.
General 2D drafting. Any kind of drawing can be created using the 2D drafting
functions. These functions are also often used to annotate the model information views,
e.g. adding measurements and labels.
Models viewed in drawings are connected to the model objects, meaning that drawings
can be recreated with latest version of model items and annotations can be updated
automatically.
AVEVA Marine Drafting is one of the drafting tools within the AVEVA Marine product. The
other one is AVEVA Outfitting Draft, which is specialized to efficiently create various
outfitting drawings. The functionality of Outfitting Draft is to a large extent available to the
Marine Drafting user through the automatic drawing functionality.

of interactive functions that keeps drawings consistent and makes the information in the
drawing persisted in the data base. Only a persisted drawing will allow for model updates
that reflect latest status of the viewed model objects and their annotations. Any updates
done from the Command Window, available within the AVEVA Marine framework, are not
guaranteeing a persisted drawing. Command Window usages can only be used if a certain
command is specifically documented as available for the AVEVA Marine Drafting user.
1.2.2
Save Work
The normal function of the Save Work function within AVEVA Marine products is to save all
current work to the data base; however this is slightly modified in Marine Drafting and in
other modules based on Marine Drafting. Marine Drafting is working with a current drawing,
which is opened as new or existing in the beginning of session. The current drawing is
placed in an exclude list and will not be affected by a Save Work operation. The current
drawing is instead saved by the use of the functions Save Drawing or Save Drawing As.
1.2.3
Drawing Ownership
A Marine Drafting drawing can be created in a number of different ways:
The general rule is that once a drawing is stored within Marine Drafting, it is considered as a
Marine Drafting drawing. It means that a drawing created in Outfitting Draft is "taken over"
by Marine Drafting and should not be updated further in Outfitting Draft.

Concepts
2.1.1
Drawings
General
A drawing can contain model views and 2D geometry like lines and arcs, texts and symbols.
The geometry of the model views is stored in the drawing together with a link to the original
model objects, so that model information can be obtained from views on a drawing. The
drawing can also be updated when a model change has been done.
Marine Drafting is used both as a drafting system and as a modelling interface for the hull
modelling functions. This can result in a session where model objects are to be saved but
not the current drawing. To handle this situation, the function Save Work is used to save
model objects, while the functions Save Drawing and Save Drawing As are used to save
the current drawing.
When saving a drawing, two storing operations are made. One is to the PADD database and
one to an individual file (.SDB file).
2:1
12 Series
1001,ClassDwg
1002,BlockPlan
1003,GenArr
The names of DEPT and REGI are controlled in the same way as for the system defined
drawing types, i.e. either with a PADDXP attribute on the DEPT elements or a value of the
appropriate environment variable in the d065 file. Drawing Type 1001 is controlled by
SB_PDB001_PADD and SB_PDB001, 1002 is controlled by SB_PDB002_PADD and
SB_PDB002 etc.. Example: SB_PDB001_PADD = EarlyDesign;ClassDwg.
2:2
12 Series
REGIs will have the same name as the original one but with a numbered suffix. Following
the example above where the REGI for General Drawings is MarDwg then new REGIs will
be named: MarDwg, MarDwg_001, MarDwg_002, MarDwg_003 etc.
There is a Drafting default keyword controlling the maximum number of drawings saved in a
REGI:
MAX_DWGS_IN_REGI
The recommended value is 1000, which is also the default value.
Please note that the Open Drawing function in Marine Drafting will still find all drawings of a
specific type since in looks in the entire MDB not only in a specific DEPT/REGI.
One issue with this approach is possible name conflicts. Assume this scenario;
1. User A creates a new drawing. Marine Drafting finds that the current REGI is full and
creates a new: MarDwg_002, for instance.
2. User B creates a new general drawing and also in this session Marine Drafting creates
a new REGI called MarDwg_002.
3. User A saves his drawing.
4. User B saves his drawing. He will now get a name conflict in DABACON. The dialogue
box in Marine Drafting will say something like Failed to save the drawing to the PADD
database. Possible reason: There is a name clash, please use Save as.... There will
also be an error message in the message window stating that there is a name conflict
regarding MarDwg_002.
This scenario obviously creates a problem. To avoid any name conflicts we recommend that
you create a number of versions of the REGI element in advance using the naming principle
described above. This will help avoiding the name conflict.
2.1.2
Link Documents
The Link Documents functionality offers the possibility to create a user defined hierarchy of
link worlds, link folders and link descriptors in a DESI database. A link world is a root
element in the DESI database. Under a link world you can place link folders in any number
of levels. A link descriptor is a place holder or a short cut for a drawing. The link descriptor
holds a reference to the drawing but does not store the drawing itself.
This Link Documents functionality can be used to organize drawings in an alternative user
defined structure that is independent of the standard storing structure.
In order to use Link Documents in Marine Drafting you must have access to a DESI
database. If you also want to write to Link Documents the DESI database must be writable.
You should also notice that any changes you make to Link Documents will not be saved until
you do a Save Work. The Save Drawing function will not save any Link Documents data
connected to the current drawing or any other drawing.
Link Documents are accessible from a number of places within Marine Drafting:
1. In the Open Drawing dialogue you will find an Open via Link button. This button will
open the Link Documents browser and let the user select and open a drawing from the
Link Documents hierarchy.
2. The Save As dialogue has an Add to Link button. This will let the user add a new
shortcut to the current drawing in the Link Documents hierarchy.
3. If you select a SHEE or a DRWG element in the Draft Explorer there is a choice Add to
Link Documents in the context menu. This will do the same as (2) but for any drawing
in the PADD database (not only the current one).
2:3
12 Series
2.1.3
A drawing is hierarchically structured in 3 sub-picture levels. These levels always exist for all
drawings, and all geometry is always located below the 3:rd sub-picture (Component) level.
The sub-picture structure can be created and re-arranged freely by the user, see the subpicture Create, Split and Regroup functions in the Operator's instructions. A sub-picture can
be used for group-wise manipulation of drawing elements, e.g. move, delete, change colour
etc.
Model projections are always added to a drawing in a predefined sub-picture hierarchy.
Each projection view (1:st level) contains sub-views (2:nd level) for each of:
Hull parts
Curved panels
Hull surfaces
Fairing curves
Outfitting
Assemblies
2D information that is added to a drawing is either placed into the currently selected subpicture, or the closest one (automatic). If the currently selected sub-picture is on the 1:st
level, a new 2:nd and 3:rd level is created for each new entity that is added. If the currently
selected sub-picture is on the 2:nd level, a new 3:rd level is created for each entity.
Some advice concerning efficient usage of sub-pictures is given in Usa.
2.1.4
Drawing Explorer
The purpose of the Drawing Explorer is to give an overview of the picture object structure
i.e. the drawing hierarchy, and make navigation in the picture object structure easier. The

Drawing Explorer can be activated by the Drawing Explorer menu command in the View/
Explorers Menu. The Drawing Explorer component can be docked or floating similar to a
toolbar.
The root in the Drawing Explorer is the picture node, this node can be expanded when a
drawing has been opened in the application. Each expanded level will represent a level in
the picture object structure. These levels are: picture -> view -> subview -> component.
The generic names are replaced with the actual names whenever available. The Drawing
Explorer will react to changes made in the picture object structure and change accordingly.
If the Drawing Explorer is expanded with no nodes selected or the root 'picture' node
selected, hovering of the mouse pointer over the different Drawing Explorer nodes will
highlight their representation in the drawing. Selecting a node will highlight that specific
object in the drawing.
Selection of multiple objects can be done by clicking the Shift or Ctrl keys and using the left
mouse button. Commands in the Treeview popup menu will be available depending on the
selected object and/or whether multiple nodes has been selected.
If Model info function is used in the drawing, the component selected will be highlighted in
the Treeview. Should not the Treeview be expanded enough to display the component then
the parent node of the selected object will be highlighted.
Clicking the right mouse button in the Drawing Explorer will open the Treeview popup
menu.

2.1.5
Drawing References
The Drawing Reference concept offers the user the possibility to define references to other
drawings (referred drawings or Reference Drawings) from the current one (the referring
drawing). A reference drawing is an ordinary drawing and could for example serve as a
background in the referring drawing. It is possible to collapse the drawing reference, i.e.
remove all underlying geometric information in the drawing reference. The opposite way, to
return all underlying geometric information is called to expand the drawing reference. When
storing a drawing all expanded drawing references will automatically be collapsed. This
means that only the references will be stored on the data bank, thus avoiding double
storage of the same information. When the drawing later is retrieved from the data bank, all
such automatically collapsed drawing references will be expanded. Moreover, when printing
the drawing, all referred drawings will be printed even when collapsed.
Note: The only functions that are able to expand drawing references are File/Open, File/
Print and File/Drawing Reference/Expand. This means that for example the hidden
line facility will ignore collapsed drawing references.
The major benefits of drawing references are:
The drawing reference is "live", i.e. modifications in the referred drawing will affect all
drawings referring to it (see above)
2.1.6
Envelopes
An envelope is a simple way to temporarily hide any sub-picture on a drawing. This can
improve the response time when working with large drawings. The sub-picture will be
replaced by an envelope symbol of the same size as the sub-picture min-max-rectangle.
The size of the drawing will not change as all the information in the envelope is kept in the
drawing.
2.1.7
Layers
A layer is a grouping of entities on a drawing that can be used for hiding and showing
related items, performing layer-wise changes etc. Layers are identified by numbers, which
can be given a textual description through a Layer Alias File. See Example of a Layer Alias
File in Chapter Appendices.
System Layers
Model projections and objects viewed on drawings are always placed into system default
layers. System-defined geometry, e.g. measures, position numbers, hatching etc. are also
by default placed on system layers, but can be overridden by the user and placed on user
layers, see below. The system default layers have negative layer numbers. See System
Layers in Chapter Appendices for a list of system layer numbers and entities.
2:6
12 Series
User Layers
User-added information is grouped into the current user layer when it is created. By
changing the current layer, subsequent items are placed into that layer. User layers can be
given by the user as a single value or by giving a layer class. In both cases, the layers of the
following information will be affected:
Measures
Notes
Position numbers
Hatching
General geometry
General text
General symbols
Layer Class
A layer class contains information about grouping of different types of items in a drawing in
layers. The user can define as many classes as needed in an external file. A layer class can
contain any of the layers for measures, notes, position numbers, hatch patterns, created 2D
geometry, general texts and general symbols. It is possible to add a name to the layer class.
If the system creates items of types not covered by the currently used layer class, their
layers will be undefined. An example of a layer class file may be found in Appendix 12,
Layer Class File.
2.1.8
Model Presentation
Model objects can be viewed in two modes, either using wireframe projections on drawings,
or as a colour shaded interactive 3D view. The appearance of a hull model in drawing
projections is controlled by settings. These settings are available through the function Tools>Preferences_>Model Draw code and by changing default parameters. See Drafting Default
File Keywords in Chapter Appendices.
A number of functions can be operating on the drawing projections, such as slicing, hidden
line etc.
In order to also get non-graphical information on a panel that is possible to pick, graphical
handles can be turned off by checking a check box in the Model Draw Code dialogue. The
picture below shows the panel components and their graphical appearance.

2.1.10
Symbols
In many applications a considerable part of the information on drawings and diagrams
consists of schematic pictures of different items. These are referred to as symbols. Symbols
can be created once and then easily placed on drawings. Related symbols are grouped
together in a symbol font. Each font is identified by a unique font number (1-999). Each
symbol within a certain font is identified by a unique symbol number (1-32767). There are a
number of symbol fonts delivered with the system that are used by the system. These can
be used in drawings but must not be modified. A list of system defined reserved symbol
fonts can be found in Symbol Fonts Reserved by the System in Chapter Appendices
2.1.11
Standard Details
Any subpicture can be stored as a standard detail in the standards data bank (SB_STD).
This can later be retrieved and re-used in other drawings. Other standard items are e.g.
user defined hatch patterns, which are also stored in the standards data bank.
2.1.12
Modelling drawing forms are forms that include a layout of projections that can be used in
modelling applications, one example of these is the CV4 form that is included in the system
distribution.
Normal drawing forms are used as a background for a drawing and can contain e.g. a
frame, some fixed text and some dynamic test. The dynamic text is created by using rules,
where e.g. the rule $2000 will automatically be replaced by the drawing name.
There are two kinds of rules (dynamic texts):
2:8
12 Series
1. Single item rules are denoted as an integer preceded with a $ (dollar sign), e.g. $2000
meaning the drawing name. When the drawing is processed, the system will search for
all occurrences of text entities that contain an integer, preceded with a dollar sign. If
found, and if known to the particular system function, that text entity will then be
replaced for a new text entity, containing the actual data. In the case of $2000, the real
drawing name will replace $2000.
2. Table item rules are denoted as an integer preceded with a @ (commercial at sign),
e.g. @600 meaning the revision number. Table rules are used to build up tables, i.e. a
number of rows (maximum 20) with data. In the case of @600, a table with revision
data for a number of revisions may be built, including e.g. the date for each revision.
(The date as such would then have another rule associated - @603.)
In the replacement process, the position of the $ or @ text will be used for the new text, and
so will the text height and rotation angle.
The technique of using rules for dynamic texts is used for many types of drawings and lists
in the system. The rules are unique only within one form/list. (Consequently, $2000 may
mean something totally different in another list.) The rules are listed where the appropriate
functions are documented. Below is a list of links for the currently available rules:

Config Note
Config Set
This function is used to insert user configurable notes into a drawing. The configuration
includes a set of note types each with its own set of characteristics both regarding the
contents and the appearance. The configuration is made via a Vitesse hook described
below.
The created notes can be handled by the delete note function.
The operator has to pick a model part and optionally create a reference string line for the
note. By giving Options on the prompt it is possible to invoke automatic setting of a certain
note type in a whole view or subview. In this case the notes are placed without or with
reference string line, according to the option Reference line OFF (on). The reference line
consists of 2 line segments.
Config Move
This function is used to move notes in a drawing inserted by the Set function above. To
move a note, just pick it and place it somewhere else.
Giving Options on the prompt will give the possibility to move a note and at the same time
create a reference string line from the original location. This option can only be used if the
note does not already have a reference line.
General
A number of special notes are used in drawings with different contents. The contents of the
notes are depending on both the type of the note and the component the note is made for.
The configurable note option in the system makes it possible to create notes with a high
degree of freedom regarding both the contents and the appearance. Each note type is given
an identifying string to appear in a selection list, and a set of characteristics described in
detail below.
The configuration is implemented as a Vitesse hook, meaning that a file with a specific
name is accessed from the functions. This file is written using the Vitesse syntax and
interfaces.
The Hook
The name of the configuration file must be _TBhook_ConfigNote.py and must be placed in
the directory indicated by the global variable PYTHONPATH.

They are all described in detail below. These methods should never be changed regarding
the input parameters and the result values.
getNoteName
This method is supposed to have access to a list of note name strings. The input parameter
<NoteInd> is an integer index and should return the list value as a string if the index is within
the bounds of the list. If the index is outside the list bounds the nil object should be returned.
The string is supposed to be unique among the strings in the list, and must not be longer
than 80 characters.
The storing of the note names is free as long as they can be accessed as an indexed list
through the method getNoteName. The note names are used to present a list of available
notes to select from in the function that set configurable notes.
getNoteChar
This method is supposed to have access to a list of note characteristic records. It also takes
an integer index as parameter and should return a list of note characteristics for the
corresponding note. This list of note characteristic records should have the same number of
elements as the corresponding name list described above, i.e. there should be one entry for
each note type.
The characteristics record returned should contain the following items:
(<reference>, <placement>, <colour>, <layer>, <flip_angle>)
<reference> is a string defining the location of the reference point. The allowed values are
described below:
Value
Description
cursor
nearest
midpoint
COG
infirst
Use the inpoint of first straight part, if the identified object is a pipe,
pipe spool, ventilation or cableway. If no straight parts exist, use the
inpoint of first part.
Use the inpoint of the part, if the identified object is a part in a pipe,
pipe spool, ventilation or cableway.
Inpoint means where routing started and outpoint, which is referred to
below, where it ended.
midfirst
outfirst
inlongest
Like infirst, but instead of inpoint of first straight part, inpoint of longest
straight part is used.
2:11
12 Series
Value
Description
midlongest
outlongest
<placement> is a string defining the location of the note body in case no reference lines
are used. The placement is related to the reference point and the values refer to the
circumscribed rectangle of the note body.
<placement> is built up by two values, one for horizontal placement and one for vertical
placement that are concatenated without delimiters to form one string. The allowed values
are described below:
Value (horizontal)
Description
Left
Mid
Right
Origin
Auto
Value (vertical)
Description
Lower
Mid
Upper
Origin
Auto
Use the lower side placed above the part, if the part is a pipe
part or a pipe spool part.
Use the lower side placed above the part, if the part is a
ventilation part. If it is a rectangular part, above means the
average distance from the centreline to all sides.
Use the lower side placed above the centreline of the part, if
the part is a cableway part.
This value is valid only if infirst, midfirst outfirst, inlongest,
midlongest or outlongest were used as reference values.
2:12
12 Series
Origin refers to the point (0,0) in the local coordinate system used when building up the note
body further explained below. All combinations of these values are valid, e.g. LeftLower or
MidOrigin.
<colour>
<layer>
<flip_angle>
getNoteFilter
This method is supposed to have access to a list of pick filters for each note. These filters
define the valid models/parts/subparts to be picked for note setting. The method takes two
integer arguments, the first is the note type index and the second is a filter index within this
note type. This means that each note can have many filters. All components matching any
of the filters can be picked.
The return value should be a list of three strings defining the model type, the part type and
the subpart type. The valid string value combinations are described in the table below:
Model type
Part type
Subpart type
plane panel
stiffener
flange
pillar
plate
bracket
stiffener
flange
seam
hole
notch
cutout
hull curve
part
placed volume
"
longitudinal
transversal
2:13
12 Series
Model type
Part type
Subpart type
curved panel
stiffener
plate
Irrelevant values should be set to empty strings. Note that it is not necessary to define the
filter all the way down even if it is possible. E.g. if a bracket as a whole should be picked the
subpart type should be empty, or if the whole panel should be picked, also the part type is
set empty.
Giving indices outside the list bounds should result in a nil object return.
getNoteData
This method is supposed to have access to a list of note definition records set by the
method setNoteData described below. It takes an integer item index and returns a note
definition record if the index is within the bounds of the note data list.
The records have the same basic layout, starting with six integer values followed by five
floats and ended by a string. They are interpreted differently depending on the first value.
Four different types exist, the reference symbol, the free symbol, the text in symbol, and the
free text. Irrelevant values should be set to nil values (0, 0.0 and "").
In the example below classes have been defined to encapsulate the record contents only
using relevant values for each type.
Reference Symbol
The reference symbol is the symbol placed at the start point of the reference string-line
defined by the user, often an arrow. If the note is placed without a reference line, no
reference symbol will appear.
The reference symbol note definition record has the following contents
(<type>, <font>, <number>, 0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, <height>, "")
Description:
<type>
<font>
is the symbol font number used to make up the name of the symbol font
according to d012sy<font>.sbs.
<number

Free Symbol
The free symbol is part of the note body. It can be placed freely and can be mixed with text
to form the note.

The free symbol note definition record has the following contents
<type>
<font>
<number>

is the horizontal position in mm. If set to 0.0 the symbol is left padded.
Text in Symbol
The text in symbol is placed using a predefined symbol text position with certain
characteristics. It is placed in the symbol preceding the text in symbol definition.
The text in symbol note definition record has the following contents

Measurements
2D and 3D measurements based on model information can be created and placed in
drawings.
2.2.5
Texts
The Drafting application supports placing and formatting of texts on drawings.
A single line of text as well as multiple lines of text can be handled. The logical name
controls the TB_IGNORE_PSEUDO_MULTI_LINE_TEXT method for treating single text
rows in multi-line texts. If set to YES, such text rows will be treated individually. Otherwise,
such text rows will be treated as member of the multi-line text. Two kinds of text fonts are
supported, the system vector fonts and Windows TrueType fonts.
Truetype Fonts
Truetype give access to a wide variety of different fonts. The truetype fonts available in
Drafting are the fonts that are installed through the Windows Control Panel. Compared to
vector fonts, the TrueType font characters are made up of outlines that are filled with colour,
often making them appear thicker than the vector fonts.
2.2.6
Line Types
Geometric entities in drawings can be displayed in a total of 45 different built-in linetypes but
also user defined linetypes are available.
The built-in line types are grouped into two categories, basic and complex.

Whenever the user is requested to supply a point, the user can redefine the systemproposed point mode just by selecting the desired point mode from the toolbar. The systemproposed point mode may be "cursor position", the last used point mode or some other
mode, depending mainly on the currently invoked function. The ADD OFFSET entry in the
pop-up toolbar is used in combination with an arbitrary point mode, in order to add a keyed
in offset to the point. When the system requests a point, the user may add an offset by
clicking this field prior to the definition and keying in the offset when the definition is
completed.
Line Definition
The different ways of defining a line, called line modes, will after selecting Insert-Line
appear as a toolbar:
END POINTS
Since the initial system-proposed line mode is always "EXISTING LINE", this mode will
appear in the toolbar. Whenever the user is requested to supply a line, the user can redefine
the system-proposed line mode just by selecting "LINE"and choose one of these alternative
from the toolbar.

Segment Definition
The different ways of defining a segment equals the ways of defining lines and arcs.
Whenever the user is requested to supply an arbitrary segment, the user can redefine the
system-proposed mode just by selecting "LINE" or "ARC" and choosing one of the
alternatives from the toolbar. The initial system-proposed mode is always "EXISTING
SEGMENT".
2.3.2
3D Point Definition
The Drafting system offers a general way of defining 3D points. Tools like line/plane locking,
offset adding and verifying are
Implemented. Roughly, a 3D point is derived by:
1. Set line/plane lock, if desired, demand 3D offset adding, if desired (order unessential).
2. Define the basic point.
3. Apply lock, if set.
4. Add 3D offset, if demanded.
2:25
12 Series
Definitions
The "current" point refers to a specific 3D point in the drawing and is required by
most of the locking subfunctions and the 3D point definition mode "OFFSET FROM
CURRENT". In certain situations, the current point will initially be set by the system, in
others it will not. The user has always the opportunity to (re)define the current point for the
user's own purposes. A particular line or plane lock that initially has been set by the system
and for some reasons must not be reset by the user is called STATIC. An example of this is
when the systems requires a user-defined point that must lie on a predefined line; this line is
initially locked STATIC to meet this condition.
3D Request Toolbar
The tools available in the 3D point definition concept are listed in toolbar. By selecting ViewToolbars-3D Request, this toolbar will be visible. It is then possible to select a suitable
subfunction or switch to 2D mode (see below) by using the 2D point mode toolbar.

NO LOCK - This just means implicit line locking. The line will be perpendicular to the view
plane and passing through the 2D point in this view. Normally, a locking may be cancelled
only via the 'UNLOCK' subfunction, but here a subsequent Reject will also serve as unlock.
PLANE LOCK - This lock in combination with the 2D point and the identified view forms a
sufficient condition to derive a 3D point. The resulting 3D point will then be the intersection
between the locking plane and the line perpendicular to the view plane and passing through
the 2D point in this view.
LINE LOCK - This lock in combination with the 2D point and the identified view forms a
sufficient condition to derive a 3D point. The resulting 3D point will then be the point on the
locking line closest to the line perpendicular to the view plane and passing through the 2D
point in this view.
A natural way of defining a 3D point is to give two 2D points in different views: The first point
will then define the position of the 3D point projected in the first view and the second point
will define the depth. Note that the reversed order will not necessarily yield the same 3D
point.
Locking Commands
Tools for plane and line locking are implemented. Most of the locking subfunctions require
that the current point is set. If not so, it can be set using the SET CURRENT subfunction
prior to the lock command. Note that these commands are ignored if the system has set an
initial STATIC lock. (plane lock)
Implies that the point to be defined will be projected on the plane. The resulting point will
then be the point on the locking plane closest to the given point (intersection between the
locking plane and a line through the given point and perpendicular to the locking plane).
LOCK VIEW: A plane through the current point. The desired plane (projection) is identified
by the user. LOCK EVENT PLANE: A plane through an event point and perpendicular to the
event vector. The desired event point is identified by the user. LOCKX, LOCKY, LOCKZ: The
current value of X, Y, Z respectively is locked. The locked plane will be highlighted in all
views by showing the normal vector of the plane starting at a point in the plane (line lock).

on the line.
By typing <CR>, the offset can be given in three dimensions, provided that the line
lock is not static. Selecting OC means that no offset will be added.

Set Current
This subfunction allows the user to (re)set the current point, e.g. prior to a lock setting. The
point is defined by the user (supported by the 3D point concept).
Verify
This tool allows the user to define a 3D point in an iterative way. The iteration continues until
the user accepts the resulting point. At each iteration step, the point so far is verified and
confirmed by the user. The verification works like this:
1. The user defines a 3D point.
2. The system verifies the point and asks the user if the point is accepted. If so, the user
answers YES and the definition is completed, otherwise the system will continue with
step (3).
3. The system makes the point the current one and lets the user define another 3D point.
Operation Complete, at this stage, means accept.
4. The system verifies the next point and asks the user to key in relevant coordinates
(XYZ), i.e. the satisfying coordinates of this point. Different answers result in different
actions exemplified below:
<CR>
<XYZ>
<YZ>
<X>
2.3.3
Transformations
This facility is a tool used to transform subpictures or geometry items. It is also used when
modelling to describe a transformation in a certain view. The tool will normally be entered by
requesting the user to select an activity like scale, move etc. However, in some situations it
will be entered directly in dragging mode, i.e. the entity to transform will be connected to the
mouse for positioning in the drawing. Apart from this, the behaviour will be the same
independently of the invoking circumstances.
The transformation facility will throughout this manual be referred to as "PERFORM
TRANSFORMATION".
2.3.4
Capture
In some situations, e.g. in the restrict function, the user is allowed to identify drawing
information that lies inside (or outside) a rectangle, a polygon or a general area, built up by
contours. This facility will throughout this manual be referred to as "CAPTURE" and the
geometry identified in this fashion will be called "captured geometry". As default, any kind of
geometry will be captured but the user has the opportunity to specify exactly what kind of
geometry to capture (e.g. points, texts etc.)
2:29
12 Series
2.3.5
Multiple Selections
A number of functions are operating on a selection of geometry elements or structural
elements within a drawing, typically a transformation in one operation of many elements not
belonging to the same hierarchical picture element.
The functions that can work on a multiple selection are Trim, Extend, Transform, Delete
and Change Properties.
A multiple selection is created by selecting elements using a Ctrl+Left click or by using
filtering options in capture operations.
2.3.6
Projection
When projecting model information, a number of standard projections are used. These
values are included in the default information. It is also possible to define projections
interactively. The defining of projections will throughout the manual be referred to as
SELECT PROJECTION.
2.3.7
The distance between the closest line and the given position must be less than a
default value.
The difference in angle between the line and the text must be less than a default value.
The distance between the closest symbol and the given position must be less than a
default value.
The symbol must have been defined with text position no. 1.
The presentation of the text in the symbol is completely given by the text code in the symbol
definition. It is interpreted by the system in order to give the following results:
1. Flushed left.
2. Centred.
3. Centred in the u-direction.
2.3.8
The symbol must have been defined with connection point no. 1. The connection code
is interpreted by the system to give the following results:

The distance between the closest geometry and the given position (connection point no
1) must be less than the default value (SYMB_AUT_DIST in the default file).
Perform Transformation
When using this tool, a various number of activities are available. These activities are
invoked from the Transformation toolbar. Furthermore, two kinds of dynamic
transformations are supported, namely dynamic move (often referred to as dragging) and
dynamic rotate. These are invoked by first toggling the desired dynamic mode via OPTION
and then just picking the item. At entrance, the dynamic mode is initiated to move. The
system prompt will inform you about the current dynamic mode. Entities containing much
graphic information will probably result in bad performance during a dynamic
transformation. For this reason, it is possible just to show the envelope of the entity during
the dynamic transformation. If a permanent envelope display is desired, this can be set by
the ENVELOPE function before invoking the transform function. The transform session is
normally terminated by OPERATION COMPLETE meaning "I'm ready, accept the
transformation". It can also be interrupted by means of CANCEL or QUIT, requesting the
transformation to be cancelled.

information that can be extracted is:
Model information is extracted from a user-indicated model in the drawing. Once selected,
the model is highlighted and the general model information is presented in a dialog box. The
row of interest is then selected (and possibly edited) to be passed over to the invoking
function. Normally, such a row of information is made up of a "header" and a "body",
separated by a colon. Click Options to toggle the exclusion of the "header" in the resulting
row of information.
Subpicture name is extracted from a user-indicated subpicture in the drawing. Once
selected, the name is passed over to the invoking function.

It is possible to extend the intervals for the different symbols mentioned above. For this
purpose, an alternative symbol font for Note and/or Position Number symbols should be
used. The number of this alternative font is #41 and the use of it is dictated by the Drafting

Default Settings
The activities of the system, in a number of respects, are controlled by default settings
initialized at the start-up of the system. The user has the possibility to adapt the system to
different working conditions in two ways: either changing default values one by one or using
a default file. Apart from this, most of the defaults can be changed inside the function(s) that
utilizes this particular default.
The default settings for Drafting is stored in a default file. The name of this file is chosen by
the user. The file can be created or modified either by using a text editor or by storing the
current defaults when running the system. If a default file name is assigned to the
environment variable SBD_DEF1, the settings in this file will be read when the program
starts. A default file can also be read into the program session at the user's command.
The file consists of an arbitrary number default statements, one per line. The order of the
statements is irrelevant. A default statement consists of a keyword and a value, separated
by a colon (:) or an equal sign (=). The keyword denotes a specific system default that will
receive the given value.
For a list of all keywords used in the Drafting Default file, see Drafting Default File Keywords
in Chapter Appendices.

Selection
Purpose
Change the linetype on certain model geometries depending on layer, type and/or colour
when printing.
Syntax:
Description
The Selection command allows users to change linetypes of geometries at the printing
moment. The changes will be visible on the printed papers but the actual drawing will not be
changed. To change the linetype of geometries a user has to select them by using colour,
type and layer of the lines that are to change. Any one or all of these criteria can be set as
wildcards by giving an empty string as input ( ). Which linetype to change to is then
defined by Linetype.

MouseWheelZoom
Turning the mouse wheel will produce a zooming effect into or out from the drawing canvas
depending on the direction of the mouse wheel turn. Turning the mouse wheel in the
direction from the user will produce a zoom in and turning it towards the user will produce a
zoom out. The zoom will vary depending on the position of the mouse pointer over the
drawing canvas and the increment setting in Tools > Preferences > Miscellaneous.
In Tools > Preferences > Miscellaneous, the mouse wheel zoom can be turned off or on.
The increment setting can also be changed between 1 and 20. This setting will effect the
zoom level of the mouse wheel zoom. The higher the setting, the bigger the zoom effect will
be.
The zooming centre is the cursor position.
Zoom Performance
Holding down the Ctrl key at the same time as rolling the mouse wheel will speed up the
operation by only drawing a subset of the line primitives. The quality level can be controlled

in Tools > Preferences > Miscellaneous form; a greater value will draw fewer lines and
thereby increase performance. The Delay is the amount of time after the user stopped
rolling the mouse until a normal repaint with full quality is made. This also applies to Middle
Button Drag (panning).

Dimensioning
Measurements are divided into the following main categories:
Linear
Angle
Radius
Diameter
Coordinate
Curve Length
Area
The dimensioning functions make use of a variety of parameters that control the layout of
the resulting measurements. When starting up a session, all these parameters are initialized
from the default file of Drafting. Keywords and system values of these parameters are listed
in Appendix G, Drafting Default File Keywords.
The layout parameter settings of the Linear, Angle, Radius and Diameter measurements do
not normally influence each other. However, the Coordinate, Curve Length and Area
measurements share relevant layout parameters with the Linear set.
During a session, all parameters can be accessed and modally redefined
Below, the different dimensioning categories will be illustrated. All layout parameters
together with their purpose are listed and exemplified. A particular parameter is denoted by
its corresponding keyword in the default file, where the prefix LIN_, ANG_, RAD_ and DIA_
denote Linear, Angle, Radius and Diameter dimension respectively.

2D Linear Measurement
2D Linear measurements are divided into three types, namely
Normal
Chain
Staircase
Each type may be presented either horizontally, vertically or parallel to an arbitrary line.
Normal
Presents the distances between successive measure points, along a common dimension
line. If the normal measurement contains only two measure points (i.e. a single measured
distance) it is called single, otherwise combined. A single measurement may be presented
in four different ways.
Chain
Presents the distances between a base point and a number of successive measure points,
along a common dimension line. The base point equals the first supplied point.
Staircase
Presents the distances between a base point and a number of successive measure points.
The distances are presented along a common direction, but along separate dimension lines.
The base point equals the first supplied point.

If the .shp file could not be found it is possible to skip this particular line type definition or
skip all Complex Shape Patterns definitions.

Restoring Defaults
Sometimes it is necessary to restore the default linetype mapping table. It can be done by
clicking the Restore defaults button. The system will restore the default mapping table
(only predefined linetype patterns used) and can also delete all loaded pattern definitions
(option).
DXF_LTYPE_CTRL = c:\aveva\dxfexport\ltypes.xml
The data is loaded by the system at first dxf export startup and stored whenever user click
OK in the Mapping data dialogue box.
The data is stored in native xml format so it gives an option to modify the file manually.
However it is not recommended by AVEVA to modify that file manually as it contains loaded
patterns definitions. Changes in that area could result in wrong export of dxf file.

Export of 3D DXF
This function can export data in a DXF file with faceted objects. The program creates two
different type of DXF entities, namely 3DFACE or POLYLINE mesh. The box and general
cylinder primitive are generated with 3DFACE and spherical segment, cone, torus and
rotational primitive are generated as POLYLINE mesh.
BLOCKS at two levels are used to create a hierarchical data structure. Block names are
equal to the model names. Some attribute info are also transferred for the blocks; Object
type, Posno, Assembly name. Also different layers are used for different types of objects.
The DXF files become very big even for a moderate drawing size and it is a good idea to
limit the size. The level of detail determines how the faceting of primitives are made (all data
in DXF are plane sides). E.g. a pipe is drawn with 8 sides for detail = 2, and detail = 4
(highest level) gives 14 sides. For the lowest level = 1 the pipe is drawn with 6 sides. If a
higher detail is used, the file gets bigger for the same number of models. A level of detail
equal to 2 is appropriate when many models should be transferred. A factor which also is
very essential for the drawing size is which input model representation was used when the
drawing was created. A panel with cutouts generates a DXF file which is three times as big
than without cutouts. Also it is possible to choose if the stiffeners or brackets should be
drawn with or without endcuts, which are also "expensive". Panel representation parts
should be used, since then holes which are outside the outer contour is intersected into the
outer contour.

Subpictures
The possibility to place information in different groups in a drawing and to perform activities
on such groups is an important aid when making the drafting work efficient. In Drafting, it is
possible to have these groups in three different levels. These groups of information are
referred to as subpictures on level 1, 2 and 3 in all Drafting documentation. In other contexts
the names view, subview and component may also be used. By splitting up a drawing in
subpictures, the user has the possibility to let the structure of the drawing reflect the reality.
Furthermore, during the creation of the drawing, it could be convenient to form subpictures
before operations such as transforming, duplicating, etc. Most operations that can be done
on geometry can also be done on subpictures.
Levels of Subpictures
Level 1 is the top-level subpicture, which is a combination of level 2 subpictures. The level 1
subpicture is the owner of the level 2 subpictures below. Equally, the level 2 subpicture
owns a number of level 3 subpictures. It is an important fact, that all information added to a
drawing will end-up in a level 3 subpicture (which is a part of a level 2 subpicture, which is a
part of a level 1 subpicture, which is a part of the drawing).
Default Subpicture
If no other action is taken from the user, apart from creating geometry, then all information
will be placed in a level 3 subpicture created by the system. This is quite sufficient on small
drawings, where no natural division in subpictures can be found.
When model information created by Drafting or other systems is added to a drawing, the
subpicture structure is created automatically by the system. Below, the types of subpicture
structure that can be created are listed.
A new level 1 subpicture is created every time a projection is created from the InsertModel menu.
A new level 2 subpicture is added to a projection subpicture every time a model object
(pipe, equipment, etc.) is restored.
Model components (e.g. stiffeners on hull panels) are always represented as new level
3 subpictures.
Drawing Components
The Drafting contains functions that, when used, result in a number of geometries that can
be treated as a unit. These units of information are referred to as drawing components and
they are subpictures on level 3. When created, information from other subpictures is used in
all these functions except in the function Insert-Text File. The first level 2 subpicture that
information has been fetched from will be the owner of the drawing component. A text file
will however belong to the current subpicture on level 2. The current handling of Drafting will
be explained below. The following functions or groups of functions in the Drafting create
drawing components:
DIMENSIONING
NOTE
POSITION NUMBER
2:58
12 Series
2D PRIMITIVES
Regrouping
There are two functions that perform reorganization of the subpicture structure in a drawing,
REGROUP and SPLIT. SPLIT should be used when parts of the information in a subpicture
should be moved to a new subpicture, with the same subpicture properties (e.g. attributes,
colour, layer, etc.). REGROUP should be used when some information from one subpicture
shall be moved to another one. A level 1 subpicture will be created if OPERATION
COMPLETE on the menu is selected instead of an existing subpicture in the drawing. The
information to be moved can be selected in a number of ways. In an already well-structured
drawing, the most frequent ways to select information will probably be by using the activities
subordinate (subpictures on next lower level), neighbours (subpictures on the same level,
only when REGROUPing) and by picking geometry. In non-structured drawings, on the
other hand, information is probably selected most efficiently by capturing all data inside a
polygon or an area. Note, that the capturing process is always a lot quicker if the user
captures information that is completely inside a polygon or an area. This is done by
selecting the "NOCUT" alternative in the submenu of the SPLIT/REGROUP function. The
user must be aware that subpictures with the model information should normally not be
reorganized. This could result in the fact that the hidden line process fails, that model
information can not be fetched to the drawing, etc.
2:59
12 Series
Diagrams
In purely schematic diagrams, there is no real need for a subpicture structure in good order.
Subpictures could be created (by regrouping) when there is any need for it (e.g. duplicating).
The subpicture structure for geographical diagrams should probably look very much the
same as the structure used in arrangement drawings.
2.4.2
"CANCEL", "REJECT"
"OPTIONS"
"STATUS"
"GRAPHIC"
GRAPHIC gives the user the possibility to perform a graphic command (e.g. Zoom In)
without interrupting the current sequence of input. Once such a command has been
performed, or interrupted by Cancel or Quit. The system returns to the String Input

Texts
Purpose
Enabling the user to change text contents, text properties, move or rotate the selected texts
(single-line or multi-line).
Instructions
4 text specific options for editing texts will be displayed when right-clicking on a text in the
drawing. These are Edit, Properties, Rotate and Move.
When the Edit menu choice is selected, the selected text is presented in the Edit Text
dialog and the user can change the contents of the text. By clicking Options, it is also
possible to change the properties of the text.
By selecting the Rotate menu choice, the selected text can be rotated to a desired position
by moving the mouse clockwise or counter clockwise, the position is then fixed by clicking
the left mouse button. By clicking Options, it is also possible to give an absolute rotation
angle.
When the Move menu choice is selected, it is possible to drag the text to a desired position
and fix it there by clicking the left mouse button. By clicking Options, it is also possible to
change rotation, properties etc
If the Properties menu choice is selected, a dialog box will be presented that allows
modification of the current text properties. The properties are font, effects, size, colour,
aspect ratio, slant, interline space factor and layer. Click the Ok button in the Text
Properties dialog to modify the text.

Note: In case the text belongs to a system component that is persisted, it is possible to
apply the modification on this component as a whole. This can be achieved if and
only if
the text belongs to a persisted system component (like dimensioning, label, etc)
2:61

Example:
The user right-clicks a text belonging to a (persisted) linear dimension component and
selects the Move option.
2.5.2
Symbols
Purpose
Enabling a User to move, rotate or change the selected symbol.
Instructions
The user will be presented with 3 symbol specific options for manipulating symbols if a right
click occurs over a symbol in the drawing. These are Change, Height and Move.
If the user selects the Change menu choice he is presented with the select symbol dialog.
The symbol is then exchanged with the selected symbol from the dialog.
If the user selects the Height menu choice, a new height of the symbol can be entered. This
will then change the symbol size.
If the user selects the Move menu choice, the user will be able to 'drag' the selected symbol
to a desired position and 'fix' it there by clicking the Left Mouse button.
2.5.3
Navigate To - functions
The Navigate To- functions are available in the context menu in the Marine Drafting 2Dcanvas. The functions will identify the closest entity in the drawing and navigate to the
corresponding element in one of the explorers: Draft Explorer, Design Explorer or the
Marine Drawing Explorer.
Move the mouse to the element of interest in the drawing and right click to activate the
context menu:
2:62
12 Series
Please note the Navigate in Design Explorer is not always available. This option is
removed when the element does not represent a design element.
Navigate in Draft Explorer and Navigate in Design Explorer will change the current
element (CE) in dabacon and the explorers will react on the change of CE. You will only see
the effect of the function if the selected explorer is opened.
Navigate in Drawing Explorer will set the current element in the Marine Drawing explorer
but not change the CE. Again, you will only see any effect in the Marine Drawing Explorer
is opened.
The function will identify the element in the "lowest" possible level starting from the
component level in the drawing object.

How to Activate
AVEVA Marine Drafting has a new functionality, Multiple Select in Drafting, which allows
the user to select multiple entities in a drawing.
The multiple select is available when the application is in Choose function mode.
Ctrl+Left click will add element by element to the selection list. Ctrl+Left click on an already
selected element will remove it from the selection list. The selected entities will be
highlighted.
2.6.2
The Box functions will allow you to select elements within a given box and the Polygon
function will let you select all elements within a polygon. Inside and Crossing are options to
the area selection. If Inside is checked, elements completely inside the area will be
selected. If Inside is NOT checked, elements completely outside the area will be selected. If
Crossed is checked also elements crossing the area boundary will qualify for selection, i.e.
in addition the ones inside or outside.
Among the selection options there are also two types of filters. The first filter is represented
by the Comp, Subview, View, Contour, Text and Symbol options. With Comp, Subview
and View you decide on what level you want to indicate subpictures. With Contour, Text,
Symbol you select what type of geometry you want to identify. Ticking these will only have
effect when you have no subpicture level selected at all, i.e. you select geometric entities
directly.
The second filter is available as the popup menu choice Advanced filter.
This is an additional filter that will be applied to the selected elements. The filter is one or
several properties like colour, line type, font, text height, layer etc. When you set the
2:67
12 Series
Advanced filter... it means that you have two lists of elements, the selected elements and
the filtered elements. The filtered elements are the result you get when scanning the
selected elements to find the ones that match the advanced filter. Selecting Advanced
filter leads to the below dialogue.
If you select more than one property it means that an element must match all the selected
properties to be targeted.
Examples:
1.
You have selected two subviews and you have set the advanced filter to
colour Red and line type Dashed. The filtered elements will be all contours
in these two subviews that are both red and dashed.
2.
You have selected one view and the advanced filter is Layer=200.
Assuming that the view has the elements seen in the figure below.

choices will be available. If it is a contour then Extend and Trim is also in the menu.
Note: Please note that the Text Properties menu is NOT multi select enabled, it only
operates on the indicated text.
2.6.5
If multi select is active or not. If active then you will always have Transform, Delete
and Change Properties.
Which application you are running. Running Hull Design for instance may result in
additional menu choices for specific model types identified as closest entity in the
drawing.
Trim Function
This functionality is new in AVEVA Marine. Trim works on a single element as well as for
multiple elements. For a single element you do not have to select it first, simply right click
close to the contour you want to trim. This trim function will automatically search for
trimming contours searching in both directions along the contour(s) to be trimmed. If two
intersection points are found then a gap is created otherwise the contour(s) will be trimmed.
If multiple contours are selected you will be asked to cross over the contours you want to
trim with a line or polyline. The polyline has two purposes:
Only selected contours intersected by the cross-over polyline will be trimmed, the other
ones are ignored.
If the contours are trimmed, i.e. only one intersecting contour is found, then it is the
crossed-over end that will be removed.
If you right click on a single contour and if the system finds that it will be trimmed, i.e. only
one intersecting contour is found, then it is the position of your right click that will define the
end to be removed.
Example:
Three contours are selected, the vertical ones. Cross over the middle part, between the
horizontal lines, and a gap will be created.
2:70

2.6.6
Extend Function
The Extend function operates on a single or multiple contours. You will be asked to indicate
which contour to trim to. Using the options button will give you the possibility to define a
point which all contours will be extended to. If you repeat to click the Option button the
system will toggle between contour and point indication.
Example:
Three contours are selected to be extended.

Other Remarks
Please note that the selection in the canvas is not related to the currently selected elements
in th Drawing Explorer. The currently selected elements in the tree view and the currently
selected elements in the canvas are two separate selection lists. The selected elements in
the tree viewer will only be affected by functions available in the tree viewer popup menu
(activated by a right click in the tree viewer).

Change Highlighting
2.7.1
Hull items can only be highlighted in views of view type Global Hidden Line or Universal
Hidden Line. Due to that these view types are of hidden line type, there is a risk that
2:74

some items are completely hidden by others and not displayed even if they are
changed.
Only Label annotations (GLABEL) are checked. Other annotations created in Marine
Drafting are not checked for changes.

Utilities
3.1
The program interacts with the user via the Main Activity form and a number of sub forms
which are:
Individual symbols within a symbol font are maintained by the Marine Drafting System.
Font Identification and Residence
A symbol font is identified by a number between 1 and 999.The corresponding font file is
named d012sy<xxx>.port where xxx stands for the identification, left padded with
zeros. The directory where the font files reside is initially project dependant
(SBB_SYMBDIR) but can be changed to whatever desired inside the program.
The Main Activity Form
When starting up the program this form is entered. From here the following sub tasks can be
selected:
View
Copy
Delete
The tasks are handled by suitable sub forms, each one described in separate sections
below. You will always return to this form when selecting 'Cancel' from any of the subforms.
To quit the session, select 'Quit'.
The Font Head Viewer Form
This form is used to view, update or create symbol fonts. The source symbol font is specified
in the 'Directory' and 'Identification' fields respectively. The font header characteristics are
shown in the section labelled 'Characteristics' and contains the following:
1. The total number of slots
2. The size of a slot, in words
3:1

3.2
Otherwise, the symbol will be displayed as solid with same thickness as the actual line

12 Series
by a specific number and contains information that directs the size and positioning of the
text. Some applications use this technique to insert texts in drawings.
For general information on rules and dynamic texts, see Drawing Forms and Rules in
Chapter Model Viewing and General Drafting.
The rules used for this purpose are system-defined and should normally not be used in this
program. To be sure not to interfere with the system-defined rules, it is recommended to use
rule numbers starting from 10000 and upwards. These are called user-defined rules.
However, there are no restrictions on the usage of rules in this program. The rules of any
form can be defined and updated interactively in Marine Drafting, using the Tools-Drawing
form-Save function. Hence, to insert a text into a drawing, this text must be associated with
a specific rule, a form must be connected to the drawing and this form must contain the
description of this specific rule. The program is controlled by an input file, directing what
drawings to handle and what text to insert.
Assignments
SY006_DATA
- input file
SY006_LIST
Input File
The input file is an ordinary ASCII stream file containing an arbitrary number of statements
defining what drawings to treat and what texts to insert. The file may look like:
DRAWING, 'MYDRAWING';
DRAWING, 'PROJ-%%%-MY*';
TEXT/RULE=12001,
Nagoya Takamitu';
TEXT, 'Hakamoto',
'Sukiyaki',
'and friends'
/RULE=12004;
Thus, first the drawings to treat are stated, followed by the texts to insert. However, the
order of the statements are irrelevant.
The DRAWING Statement
DRAWING,'<dwg_name>';
This statement denotes what drawing(s) to treat. The drawing name <dwg_name> can be
generic, i.e. contain wild cards like'*' and '%'. The surrounding apostrophes can be omitted if
there are no special characters in the drawing name.
The TEXT Statement
TEXT/RULE=<rule_no>,
'textrow_1',
'textrow_2',
...
'textrow_n';
3:3
12 Series
This statement denotes what text to insert. The rule number <rule_no> is given by the
attribute RULE and is compulsory. The text to insert is given row by row. At least one row
and a maximum of 25 rows are expected. The surrounding apostrophes can be omitted if
there are no special characters in the row.
Result
Drawings will be updated with text data as defined by the input file. In each drawing, each
text will be inserted according to the specified rule. The text will structurally belong to the
form view of the drawing. If a text denoted by this rule already exist, it will be replaced. Note
that the rule dictates the maximum length of a row and also the maximum number of rows in
a text. This means that the inserted text may be truncated to satisfy the rule description.
Drawings that cannot be found in the Drawing data bank will be ignored. The same goes for
drawings without a drawing form or if the form object cannot be found in the Standard data
bank. Texts denoted by a rule that cannot be retrieved (i.e. cannot be identified in the form
definition) will be ignored. A list file on the standard list directory containing the result of the
interpretation and the text insertion will be produced. The name of the list file will be instext
<jobno>.lst where <job_no> stands for the job number.

However, SY013 can also be run on drawings that already exist in the PADD database. In
that case SY013will then check if there are some parts of the drawing object that are not in
the PADD database and update the database if needed.
Operation
The program can be started from the command line with the following syntax:
sy013 <project login> -name <object name> -dwgtype <type> [list] [-onlyfromfiles]
<project login>
-pass=<*******>

When migrating drawings with SY013 there is an special issue with the legacy
TBSystemFonts. These fonts are:
TBSystemFont0

TBSystemFont4
TBSystemFont5
TBSystemFont6
TBSystemFont7
TBISOFont101

These fonts are not supported for text elements stored in the PADD database. The fonts
above will be replaced by the default TrueType font unless the environment variable
TB_SYSTEMFONT_MAP is assigned to a text file where each legacy font is mapped to a
TrueType font available within the project. Please note that there is a new TrueType font
called MarineSystem that looks like the legacy fonts mentioned above. The format of this
text file should be as follows:

Each neutral file contains a number of lines with a variable number of characters,
maximized to 80. Each line starts with a keyword. Some of the keywords are followed by a
comma and a parameter, belonging to the keyword.
There must be a semicolon at the end of each line. The order of keywords are highly
relevant.
Parameters can be of four types: keywords, strings of characters, integers or reals.
Strings must be surrounded by apostrophes. Reals can be with or without exponent but
must be readable by FORTRAN and C programs.
Blanks are allowed between terms, parameters and separators but irrelevant, except within
string parameters.
The use of keywords for solid primitives are exactly the same as for the link which converts
a neutral file into objects.

<density> is the density of the object in kg/mm3. It should be the mean density, so that
the sum of the volume of all primitives times the density gives the correct weight. (Density
has no meaning for the polygon primitive but the keyword should nevertheless exist.)
<comment> is a comment of any kind.The user has the possibility to organise these
comments in a suitable way so that they represent valuable information for the user. The
Comment information is stored as an object on the Unplaced Volume Databank with the
name #VT# <name>.
<segments> is the number of segments in a contour, to be further described after this
keyword.
<start x>, <start y> and <start z> are the coordinates of the starting point
of a contour or polygon.
<ax>, <ay> and <az> are the coordinates of an amplitude vector, describing one
segment. A segment goes from the previously described point to the following point. (If an
amplitude vector is zero, i.e. if a segment is a line, then the amplitude vector may be omitted
altogether.)
<x>, <y> and <z> are the coordinates of a node point of a contour or polygon, i.e. the
ending point of one segment and possibly the starting point of a subsequent segment.
<origin x>, <origin y> and <origin z> are the coordinates of an origin point
of a primitive.
<v1 x>, <v1 y> and <v1 z> are the coordinates of a vector, characteristic for
some primitives. The length of the vector is essential for the primitive.
<v2 x>, <v2 y> and <v2 z> are the coordinates of a second vector, characteristic
for some primitives. The length of the vector is essential for the primitive.

Primitive Data
Each primitive, available in the system, can be described in a primitive group. Such a group
always starts and ends with keywords, specific for the primitive. In between these keywords,
additional keywords describe the geometric data of the primitive.
Immediately after the start keyword, a colour keyword may follow with information about the
appropriate colour for the primitive. The following colour codes are used:
green
cyan

General
This document describes optional software.
SZ004 is a stand-alone program used to create pictures (views) by extracting model data
from data banks. This task is an alternative to the Insert/Model functionality in Draftingbased graphic applications.
To create pictures, an input file to SZ004 must be created, using the ordinary editor. A
special language is used to order what model data to be extracted, to define projection data
and to choose the mode of representation. The resulting pictures, optionally with hidden
lines removed, are stored by the program the subpicture data bank given by SBD_PICT, and
can later be used as plane pictures or as an environment in an interactive modelling
programs.

Files
The following picture illustrates the files involved when the interpreter is run:

SB_CGDB
SB_ASSDB
DB2 is the resulting output stored on a data bank. The following logical name has to be
assigned:
SBD_PICT
LOG is a log file containing a list of the syntax file together with possible error messages. It
can have an arbitrary name given interactively to the program or in the logical name
PRINTER0.
DEF is a default file where e.g. the projection data can be defined by the operator. If the
name is not given in the logical name SBD_DEF1, the variables are set to existing default
values.

Fatal
A serious corruption that the system normally cannot handle.
Often possible to recover, but risk for loss of vital data. In some cases, not possible to
recover at all.
Error
A major corruption that the system might fail to handle.
Good chances to recover without loss of data.
Warning
A minor corruption that the system can deal with in a controlled way.
The object can normally be recovered without any loss of data.
Informational
No corruption, but just an indication that the consistency might cause somewhat slower
performance.
The object can be recovered without any loss of data.
It should be stressed here that the word corruption should not be interpreted as if the
drawing is damaged and cannot be used. Apart from fatal severities, the system can
normally read such a drawing anyway.
Operation:
The program will check all (or selected) drawings in the Drawing data bank, connected to
SB_PDB.
The user is prompted to key in the name of the drawing(s) to check. Wildcards are accepted
in the drawing name. Please note that drawings of versions less than 8 will be not treated.
For each drawing matching the given name, the program will check its consistency and
optionally repair and store it back on the data bank.
To exit the program, click <CR>.
For each corrupted object found, the program produces a log file containing diagnoses and
suggested recovery actions for that object.. According to user's choice, the object will then
be repaired and stored back on the data bank.
The program is invoked by the following call:
sy010 [-name <object name>]

The keywords PROJ_VEC_U1 to PROJ_VEC_U6, contain the vector along the u-axis for
each projection plane. The keywords PROJ_VEC_W1 to PROJ_VEC_W6, contain the
vector perpendicular to each projection plane.
Note: When giving the projection vectors, the u-vector is primary and the given w-vector
adapts to this. If you expect the w-vector to be primary, make sure the v-vector is in
the view plane defined by w-vector!

Using this cursor indication, the system tries to calculate six (different) points according
to the six point definition codes, MODE1-MODE6. Recognized point mode codes are:
(node point)
(symbol connection)
(arc centre)
10
(midpoint)
A:18
12 Series
13
(intersection)
23
(event point)
A.4.17
A.4.18
The minimum distance between the cursor indication and the points derived in step (2)
is calculated. If this distance is less than AUTO_DIST, this "minimum-distance" point is
selected, otherwise the cursor position is selected.

OUTPUTDRAWINGS "foldername"
or
A:54
12 Series
LOADDRAWINGS commands, requesting the loading of the saved related files on restore.
This functionality can be turned off again using the command:
OUTPUTDRAWINGS OFF
The Datal listing may be created as usual either using the user interface, or in the
Command Window using the OUTPUT command.
The file backup facilities are supported only for the OUTPUT command doing the full listing,
and not just the listing of changes.
Important: It is crucial, that the SAMEREF option is always used during OUTPUT executed
for backup purposes.
In order to restore the SHEE or OVER from the backup, the following actions are needed:
1. Close any current drawing.
2. Make sure, that the element being restored does not exist in the database. Delete it if
necessary, and issue the SAVEWORK command.
3. Navigate to the intended owner of the restored element.
4. Make sure, that the related files to be restored are still in the location as given in the
LOADDRAWINGS FROM folder command in the DB listing macro. If it has changed,
modify the folder name in the macro accordingly.
5. Run the DB listing macro
6. If everything went fine, issue the SAVEWORK command.
Note: It is not enough to use the REPLACE option of the OUTPUT command to get rid of
an existing element being replaced. This element has to be removed manually in
step 1 above.
It is important, that the value of the PVNO attribute of the restored SHEE or OVER is higher
than any of the values used in the past history of this element. For performance reasons the
scan of the history is limited by default to the 100 database sessions. The user might want
to scan more sessions, e.g. if there are many users working on the same database, or if the
element being restored was deleted from the database a long time ago. This can be done by
defining an environment variable AVEVA_RESTORE_MAXSESSIONS before starting the
application.
Example:
The command
set AVEVA_RESTORE_MAXSESSIONS=1000
would request scanning of the past 1000 sessions instead of the default 100. Of course, the
scan continues only until the element is found in a past session with the value of the PVNO
attribute greater or equal to the one being restored, so in most cases there will not be 1000
sessions scanned.

Note: The restored drawing may not be consistent with the current state of the Design
database, and needs to be validated before use. To guarantee consistency between
Draft and Design databases, the existing functionality of backtracking databases in
an MDB to a given stamp is recommended.
show !!RemoveObsoleteSDB
The following conditions must be fulfilled:
It is also highly recommended that changes in PADD databases are merged first. The fewer
sessions there are, the faster the macro will finish.
Click the Find obsolete SDB files button. All 32 directories below %<proj>DRG% are
scanned and each .SDB file is checked. Please note that this might take a long time if there
are many sessions in the database. All obsolete SDB files are listed. The list shows the
name of the obsolete file together with the reason why it is obsolete.
Replaced - the SHEE element uses another SDB file (new version).
There are three buttons that perform an action for all .SDB files in the list:
It is possible to customize the path that is used by the application when moving .SDB files.
Set the environment variable SBB_OBSOLETE_SDB_BACKUP to the path of an existing
directory. If the variable is not set then Windows variable TEMP is used.
