Overview Draw has been designed to allow the user to generate and retrieve industry standard engineering drawings efficiently. efficiently. This has been achieved through an intuitive intuitive user interface interface and the following features.



The drawing drawing can be be formed by multiple multiple views of differing orientation and scope with content directly derived from the 3D model. In addition, the representation of the drawing graphics may be controlled by representation rules that are pre-defined by the project administrator.



View clarity clarity is is aided by various various levels levels of view view types and through the use of view view sections.



The scale of the drawing can be selected from a set of Metric, Architectural and Engineering values.









A label can be attached to any model element and used to display information from the identified element. In turn, the format, content and appearance of the labels are controlled by the designer or through a predefined Visual Style. Direct reference to the design data, combined with a simple update operation, operation, ensures that the annotation always reflects reflects the current current state of the 3D model. The abili ability ty to employ employ Autotagging is an efficient solution for automatically generating labels to a defined defined tagging rule. The rule determines labelled design items and label representation. representation. A dimension is calculated directly from the 3D model. As with label annotation, format, content and appearance are controlled by the designer or through a predefined Visual Style.

Draw Workflow E3D Draw User Interface & Database Hierarchy Hierarchy

As found with other ot her areas of AVEVA E3D, Draw has an underpinning hierarchy– this is shown by the hierarchical tree below.

WORLD DEPARTMENT REGISTRY DRAWING

Through the concept of Current Owner (CO) AVEVA E3D Draw has the intelligence to interpret the user action in the Draw Canvas and automatically place the element within the Draw database database hierarchy. This avoids the need for the user to open or continually refer to the Draw Explorer .

SHEET

 Refer to Chapter 3 for detailed information on the Draw User Interface. 

Sheet Creation

The user is able to create a drawing Sheet using an Explicit or From Template method. 

From Template - Using standard standard pre-defined pre-defined templates templates and hierarchy, and with the onus being on the resultant Sheet rather than the forming of the administrative elements, the From Template process is envisaged to be the preferred method for Sheet creation by a Draw user .

 Refer to Chapters 6 to 8 for detailed information on View creation and population. 

Apply a S Section ection Plane

Draw provides the capability to construct sections through specified design items, the results of which can be displayed at View level. Sections aid the clarity of the drawing and can be created during View creation (Section View) or explicitly at any point.

There are three types of section planes. 

Flat Plane

Current Owner

Current Owner ( Through the concept of Current ( CO) AVEVA E3D™ Draw has the inherent intelligence to interpret the user action in the Draw Canvas and automatically place the element within the Draw database hierarchy. This avoids the need for the user to open or continually refer to the Draw Explorer . A Draw Sheet, View and Region are all classified as being a Current Owners and thereby control where new objects objects are placed in the Draw hierarchy. hierarchy. In addition, addition, the Current Owner controls controls how positions positions and distances distances are interpreted through graphical feedback and the status bar. By default all new entities are created below the first suitable suitable owner in the Draw hierarchy based upon the Current Owner; for example the drawing drawing of a line within a View is automatically automatically placed beneath beneath a LAYE element and View Note. On the occasion an appropriate owner does not exist, the owning element is automatically automatically created.

The required required Current Current Owner may be selected selected via via the Current Owner options options list from the Active Properties form form or inte intell llig igen entl tly y thro throug ugh h modification of selection in the Draw Canvas – achi achiev eved ed by a double double-lef -leftt click click within within the required required View, Region or Sheet.

Limit 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 Limits from Drawlist button sets the 3D limits of the View to a volume that will enclose all the items in the view drawlist.

The Limits Volume is indicated indicated within within the 3D View by a shaded cube.

The Limit co-ordinates area of the group is activated on clicking the Limits from Drawlist button and is initially populated with the limits of the current drawlist.

The required View limits can be set by defining the orientation and directly entering explicit project co-ordinates into the six co-ordinate textboxes within the Define Limits group.

Alternatively, the required View limits can be defined graphically by manipulation of the Limits volume box, using the appropriate appropriate drag arrow. While the arrow is active the contextual contextual editor can also be used to nominate nominate the limit. The highlighted limits volume box is defined by the extent of the drawlist limits.

CHAPTER 10 Sections Planes The following chapter explores the use and definition of Section Planes within a drawing. A Section Plane within a View can add clarity to the depiction and highlight obscured elements.

10.1 Ove Overvie rview w AVEVA E3D Draw presents the ability to construct sections through specified design Model elements at the View level using intersecting planes. All Section Planes are database items and can therefore be used with more than one View. There are broadly three types of Section Plane that may be defined. 

Flat Planes.



Planes. Perpendicular Planes.



Stepped Planes.

Sections may be created using the following methods. 

Section View Produces a Section Plane in tandem with the creation of a Projection View and is defined using the orthogonal source view.



Limits-Defined Section Produces a Section Plane by the definition of View Limits and is specified on selection of Limits Box side(s).



Explicit Section Produces a Section Plane by explicit definition within the Draw Canvas using an existing View and the Contextual Editor .

All Planes are created and held within a Library structure; being owned by a Planes Library ( PLLB). To use a plane to produce a sectioned view of part of the design model, model, a View Section ( VSEC) element which refers to the appropriate plane element in the Planes Library must be created. The Planes Library is created automatically on the creation creation of the first first Section. Section. The appropria appropriate te type of Plane is then created as a member of the Planes Library, being referred to by the View Section.

When section views are added to a drawing, drawing, Automatic Section marks called View Section Section Indicator (VSI) can be assigned to display on both the source view and the section view. The VSI indicates the geometry, limits and look direction of the Vsec view plane on the source view, and displays a title on the section view. A VSI identifier character is allocated to the VSI in order to uniquely identify the section view (For example, A-A).

When the VSI and title are added to a drawing drawing they are assigned assigned a VSI library which controls controls their appearance. appearance. For example, the colours, line weights and text sizes that they are drawn in.

On selection, as with all standard Draw elements, it is possible to modify the properties of the Dimension via the Properties Grid. The Properties Grid offers an efficient and quick user workflow to alter Dimension geometry, representation and visibility by selection or direct direct entry.

Intelligent Text The Properties Grid allows the direct input of text for the definition of Dimension and Projection Line text. It is important to ensure intelligence throughout the drawing and the use of ‘free text’” is minimised - wherever possible, text should be derived from the Database. The concept of Intelligent Text allows the naming and referencing of element properties in the drawing and be assured that any changes to the model will be reflected in the Drawing. Intelligent text is marked by a preceding # symbol e.g. #NAME and #POS will resolve to annotate the element name and position. position. With a slash preceding AVEVA E3D Model element names, it is often necessary to remove this slash on naming elements in AVEVA E3D Draw. This is possible using Intelligent Text: #NAME(C2:) i.e. Name starting at Character 2. Modification to Dimension text is also possible by a double left-click on the identified text in the Draw Canvas and by entry to the prompted Text Editor and and ancillary Intelligent Text selector.

CHAPTER 12 Label Annotation The following chapter describes the definition and use of label annotation in AVEVA E3D Draw.

12. 2.1 1

Labe La bell El Ele eme ment nt

Labels are a form of drawing annotation associated with model elements and comprise of text and/or graphics. Template AVEVA E3D Draw principally uses template labels, of which there are two variations; a General Template Label (GLAB) and a Symbolic Template Label (SLAB). 

General Template Label

User User is able able to adapt adapt the label label conte content nt and and format format to a specifi specific c purpose. This may include the use of Intelligent Text to derive the label content from the model.



Symbolic Template Label

The label label is is formed by a pre-defined label template often containing a symbol and/or Intelligent Text for a specific purpose.

Labels can be attached to a model element and used to display any attribute of the element. Direct reference to the model data, combined with a simple update annotation operation, ensures the annotation reflects the current state of the 3D model. The user can control the format, content and appearance of the created label. Further to the ability to format the label and to ensure consistency consistency across drawings, drawings, the Draw Administrator Administrator is able to define suitable suitable project project defaults and an appropriate Visual Style.

Label Hierarchy Through the concept of the Current Owner, labels may be created for a View without a need to reference the Draw Explorer . The label label and associ associated ated connect connection ion point point are automatically placed beneath an administrative LAYE element as the View is labelled. As the below hierarchy illustrates, a label is defined by a Label Attachment Point (Design Data Name (DDNM) attribute) which defines the model element being referenced. In addition, a Symbolic Template Label references a Symbolic Template ( SYTM) through a Template Reference ( TMRF) attribute. The following diagram illustrates the Draw hierarchy in regards to label creation.

Label Visual Style A Visual Style controls the representation representation of a label by the element adopting the preset properties of the style on creation or by modification. The use of a Visual Style ensures the consistency of annotation within the Sheet and across a series of Drawings.

The following sections will outline the drawing capabilities of AVEVA E3D Draw and how, through the use of a Region, the annotation may be incorporated within the Draw Sheet.

14.1 14 .1

Regi Re gion on El Elem emen entt

A Region is a type of View and defines a scaled area of the Drawing Sheet which can be used for drafting. A Region has a pre-defined, independent scale and can be created at any point in the drawing process. A Region is considered to be a Curren This defin definit itio ion n allow allows s the the user user,, throu through gh sele selecti ction on of the Regio Region, n, Currentt Owner Owner . This to complete an annotated drawing without reference to the Draw Explorer .
