This release includes the following functional enhancements:

In this release

None

Consolidated from previous fix releases

First released in AVEVA Global Server 12.0.SP6 WCF Update, release number 51974 Description

Option for improved security of all global communications, using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). This has been achieved by providing an alternative communications layer, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) calls, which replaces the existing Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). As a result Global now exploits the security configurations as provided by WCF which are determined through a configuration file located alongside the product. For full details, please refer to the User Bulletin supplied with the AVEVA Global Server 12.0.SP6 WCF Update release.

First released in Fix Version 12.0.SP6.4, Release No. 51971

Description

Isodraft: New capability to swap text enclosure types for welds and part numbers (P-32265) User Grids form can now display multiple user grids (SI-23694 / P-32355) Isodraft: Part and Weld Number Enclosure Types This enables the user to specify the box (enclosure) types for part and weld numbers. By default, ISODRAW encloses part numbers in straight boxes (□) and weld numbers in circles.

The shapes can now be changed to boxes with rounded ( ) or angled ( ) sides for part numbers and straight boxes for weld numbers. The setting can be changed with the PARTNOENCLOSURE command (abbreviated as

PARTNOENC), with options STRGTB, ROUNDB, and ANGLDB.

Command Syntax: >─── PARTNOENC ──┬─ STRGTB ─┐ │ │ ├─ ROUNDB ─┤ │ │ └─ ANGLDB ─┴──>

Query: Q PARTNOENC

Examples: PARTNOENC STRGTB plots part numbers in straight boxes and weld numbers

in circles (default); PARTNOENC ROUNDB plots part numbers in rounded boxes and weld numbers

in straight boxes; PARTNOENC ANGLDB plots part numbers in angled boxes and weld numbers

in straight boxes.

Restrictions: To avoid inconsistency, it is not possible to change the weld number enclosures independently from those for part numbers.



The GUI has been amended to suit:


Description

An improved comparison algorithm has been introduced for Schematic 3D Integrator; this resolves a number of support incidents as well as other issues, notably on imported data, discovered by AVEVA’s ongoing test programme

Defect number

Description

SI-4931 P-23513 The Total Weight for the MDS-WitchHanger Interface HANGER supports, including those included in a MDS GROUP support, is now output on the relevant MDS ABA generated support drawing. All the MDS-WitchHanger Interface HANGER components now store their weight in the new UDA :MDSCPLWEIGHT. The hanger component weight value is stored at the new UDA :MDSCPLWEIGHT, which is dynamically extracted from the WitchHanger support name OUTPUT “<supportname>.wof” file on exiting the WitchHanger interface software in the MDS DESIGN application. This new weight functionality applies to both the creation and the modification of MDS–WitchHanger Interface HANGER supports. Please note that a database change is required. A macro is provided – see P-31531 below

SI-15410 P-25097 All relevant MDS PML functions modified to cater for the AC67 Adjustable Trunnion Base Plate type supported on MDS STANDARD or SPECIAL FRAMEWORK Support type

SI-15632 and SI-15394

P-25087 P-25085 and P-25099

AC67 Trunnion type base plate uses PTSE /PTSE-AC67. ERROR is caused by incorrect PDISTANCE attribute at PTAX No. 1 and NOT the location of MDS TRUNNION SREF ATTA PTAX No. 1 /PTSE-AC67-P1 has been corrected so that PDISTANCE attribute is now set correctly from ORIGIN (P0) of AC67 base plate; i.e. PDISTANCE of PTAX No .1 was previously set Incorrectly to PDIST = (ATTRIB DESP[2] * 2 + ATTRIB DESP[7]) and is now set in MDS/CATA database mds7320_0001 correctly to PDIST = (ATTRIB DESP[7])

SI-14745 P-25095 GT70 & GT71 Hold-downs not visible in selection form FIXED in TWO places, i.e. the MDS/CATA db and the MDS PML object mdsframancills.pmlobj 1. The MDS Guide types GT70, GT71, GT63 and GT64 for PIPE SHOES had an INCORRECT :MDSTRUN setting of TRUE at the CATEGORY elements , /ATT-GT70, /ATTA-GT71, /ATTA-GT63 and /ATTA-GT64, in the MDS/CATA database DB FILE No. .../project/mds/mds000/mds7320_0001 2. The MDS PML object mdsframeancills.pmlobj did not cater at all for the MDS Guide Types GT70, GT71, GT63 and GT64 for PIPE SHOES. The relevant code has now been modified in the PML object .../pmllib/design/objects/mdsframeancills.pmlobj 3. Also the PML file .../pmllib/design/functions/mdscraddpipe.pmlfnc has been updated with the addition of the MDS Guide types GT68 and GT69 in a relevant "if" statement

The NWELDS attribute of the main reducer in a Trunnion Support Type is now set automatically during creation or modification, using an extra data element in the defaults database (i.e. /MDS/TRUNNION/DEFAULTS/TT44/GEN/DTSE/NWEL). The correct number of WELDS is set automatically in SPOOLER using NWELDS, for output on the SPOOL isometric.

SI-13734 P-22781 ILLEGAL "TAB" characters (e.g. >>) in the MDS application caused ERRORS.
