3.2
General ADP
The General ADP utility creates drawings from specified parts of the Model, and adds annotation according
to Defaults set up by the Draw Administrator.
The defaults are stored in files, with different defaults suitable for different types of drawings. The Draw user
must load a suitable file during Automatic Drawing Production.
The ADP application can add dimensions, labels, and schedules to a drawing. It can also add graphical
information such as equipment centrelines and pipe end symbols. The ADP application recognises different
types of dimensions:

Type 1
dimensions for pipework.

Type 2
dimensions for equipment centres.

Type 3
dimensions for gridlines.
The way in which each type of dimension is displayed can be controlled. The order in which types of
dimensions are generated can be specified and for each type, rules can be setup using PML expressions to
define how different drawing element types are dimensioned.
3.2.1
Setting the ADP Defaults – A Worked Example
The ADP Defaults are set on the ADP Defaults File Editor form, which is displayed when selecting General
from the Defaults group of the Auto tab.
There are several defaults files supplied with the
product, located in the directory %PDMSDFLTS%
e.g.
C:\Users\Public\Documents\AVEVA\Plant\E3D\Da
ta1.1.0\DFLTS
The file names are of the form DRA-GENADP -*
These files can be modified, and new files created.
Default files are loaded by selecting File > Load From… on the ADP Defaults File Editor form,
alternatively selecting the Browse button to prompt the file browser so the user can select the required file.
The ADP Defaults form buttons are explained below:
 Browse…
displays a file browser.
 From View
used
a prompt is displayed to identify any element in the required View. The default file
to create the identified view will be loaded.

Creating a Tagging Library
The tagging facilities used in ADP are based on the standard Draw automatic tagging functionality. The ADP
PGA defaults file contains an entry to allow the Administrator to define the Tag Ruleset element to be made
available to the user during use of the ADP system.
The
supplied
system
default
refers
to
a
Tag
Rule
Library
(TRLB)
named
/TT/DRA/PRJ/ADP/TAGGS/PGA. This library contains the TRST’s available to the user on the ADP
Tagging form during the ADP creation process.
To define additional elements for tagging during
theADP process, a TRST and a respective TAGR
element (with tag rules and tagging templates as
required) is created. An important consideration for
the ADP system is that the last part of the TRST
name is translated to the ADP Tagging form and
should therefore have an intuitive description.
For
example,
if
the
TRST
is
named
/MYTAG/Instruments, then Instruments will appear
on the ADP Tagging form.
Some example tagging templates are provided in
the label libraries.

A TAGR /LOCAL rule can reference a
Symbol Template (SYTM) or Text
Template (TXTM) as required. This tag
rule is for generating the tags local to the
design graphics in the View.
A TAGR /ENTRY rule references a (special) SYTM which, in turn, has references to other SYTMs and is
used for generating the tabular format entries generated as part of the schedule. In order to generate a
matching set of local and table tags it is important that both TAGRs have the same criteria.
The SYTM referenced by the TAGR /ENTRY has an associated set of SYTMs as shown below, where
prefix can be any prefix name for the SYTMs, but the same prefix is used to identify all three SYTMs
required to construct the schedules table.
The example shown is based on
the Project Libraries supplied in
the Sample Project, in the library
TT/DRA/PRJ/ADP/SCHED.
The functions of the three schedule table SYTMs are explained below

prefix/ENTRY – the SYTM used to create the table entries


prefix/HEADER – the SYTM used to construct the table header

prefix/OFFSET – the SYTM used to determine the offset of the table entry with respect to the
previous.
The SYTM prefix/OFFSET contains a single TEXP; the BTEX value determines how each table entry is
positioned with respect to the previous. The BTEX simple states the OFFSET for each table entry in the
standard X and Y format. For example, X 0 Y -6.
This means each table entry is offset by -6mm in the Y direction, thereby producing a vertical table that
expands down the sheet from the origin position.
The origin and extent positions for any schedules created are initially taken from a special note created in
the BACK by the administrator.
 See section 3.2.10.3 for details of how to implement this.

this information is not present on the backing sheet, the application will either prompt the user for input or
not allow the user access to the associated automatic annotation options.
 All the Notes have visibility set to false.
3.2.10.1 Reference Drawings
This is the area on the Sheet that is available for the user to insert a list of Reference Drawings. It is defined
under a Note named <back_sheet_name>/REFDRWGS. The Note contains TEXP elements that are used
to represent reference drawings associated with a sheet.
Each TEXP should be positioned and have attributes set as required. The TEXP is copied from the backing
sheet onto the user’s sheet during reference drawing definition.
The Note may contain as many TEXPs as required. Each of the TEXP elements will be used to
automatically redefine the entry fields on the Reference Drawing form. The TEXP is copied from the
backing sheet onto the created sheet during reference drawing definition.
The Reference Drawing Note should also contain a rectangular area to represent the available area on the
sheet for the reference drawing texts..
To ensure that the rectangle is not shown on the drawing, the Visibility (LVIS) attribute of the owning NOTE
is set to FALSE.
3.2.10.2 Sheet Limits
This is the area available on the backing sheet where the View will be created. It is defined under a Note
named <back_sheet_name>/LIMITS. The Note should contain just one RECT element whose limits
correspond to the available free space on the BACK. The Visibillity (LVIS) of the NOTE should be set to
FALSE in order to inhibit the display of the rectangle on the final sheet.

3.2.10.3 Schedules
This is the area on the Sheet that will be used to display Schedules. The origin of the schedule table and its
maximum extent is defined on the backing sheet. Only one origin and extent definition can be added to a
BACK and this is initially used by ALL schedules that are created by the user. The User always has the
option to re-define the two attributes for any schedule created. The ORIGIN and EXTENT information gives
the application a starting point for any schedules.
To create the ORIGIN and EXTENT positions on the backing sheet the Draw Administrator creates a NOTE
under the required BACK with the name <back_sheet_name>/SCHEDULE.
The note should contain two MRKP elements named <back_sheet_name>/SCHEDULE/ORIGIN and
<back_sheet_name>/SCHEDULE/EXTENT. The MRKP element defines the origin of the schedule.
 ID@ command could be used to ascertain an exact position in the sheet.
The MRKP defining the extent of the schedule should
be positioned at a point past which the schedule should
not be built. All subsequent schedule entries that would
exceed this extent position are hidden and the user is
warned of the schedule overflow.
3.2.10.4 Keyplan
This is the area on the Sheet that will be used to display a Keyplan. It is defined under a Note named
<back_sheet_name>/KEYPLAN. This note should contain one MRKP element to determine the position for
the Sheet’s Keyplan OLAY. The MRKP must be named <back_sheet_name>/KEYPLAN/ORIGIN.
