    2  Draw Overview & Workflow

    The following chapter describes the Draw workflow in general terms, together with expected training outputsi.e. an annotated and dimensioned drawing.

    Beginning with an introduction to the Draw interface and basic manipulation of the components, theproceeding chapters will follow the workflow introduced here and allow the trainee to gain an understandingof the application to produce a drawing output.

    Overview2.1

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

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

      View clarity is aided by various levels of view types and through the use of 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 identifiedelement. 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 simpleupdate operation, ensures that the annotation always reflects the current state of the 3D model.

      The ability to employ  Autotagging  is an efficient solution for automatically generating labels to adefined tagging rule. The rule determines labelled design items and label representation.

       A dimension is calculated directly from the 3D model. As with label annotation, format, content andappearance are controlled by the designer or through a predefined Visual Style. Direct reference tothe design data, combined with a simple update operation, ensures that the annotation alwaysreflects the current state of the 3D model.

      2D drawing  and defined, scaled drawing Regions allow the designer to generate accurate 2Dannotation and drawings within the Sheet.

      Drawing management is achieved through revision and status control, and is further aided by toolssuch as annotation reference checking.

    Draw Workflow2.2

      E3D Draw User Interface & Database Hierarchy

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

    Through the concept of Current Owner   (CO) AVEVA E3DDraw has the intelligence to interpret the user action in theDraw Canvas and automatically place the element within theDraw database hierarchy. This avoids the need for the userto open or continually refer to the Draw Explorer .

     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 Templatemethod.

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

      Explicit - In conjunction with the Draw Explorer , the explicit creation routeallows the explicit forming of the administrative Draw hierarchy and thedefinition of element attributes at each stage of creation using bespokeAttributes forms.

     A created sheet:

      Define and Populate a View

     A View determines the model elements to be illustrated within the Sheet and isbroadly formed through the definition of the following:

      Viewing parameters, for example View direction and scale.

      Size, position and orientation of the View on the Sheet.

      Contents of the View – defined by a Drawlist.

    The contents of the View can be defined through the method of creation e.g. a Viewmay be created and populated via the 3D View or created from an existing View asfound with Detail and Projection Views.

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

      Apply a Section Plane

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

    There are three types of sectionplanes.

      Flat Plane

      Perpendicular Plane

      Stepped Plane

     Refer to Chapters 9 for detailed information on the creation of section planes.

      Dimension & Label the Drawing

    The user is able to create Linear/Angular Dimensions and Labels through graphicalinteraction with the View.

    Intelligent Text, where notation is automatically derived from the database, can beused.

    This is highlighted by the annotated dimension Projection Lines below; centre linenotation and equipment names have been applied via a reference to the modelelement. 

     Refer to Chapter 11 for detailed information on Dimension annotation.

     Refer to Chapter 12 for detailed information on Label annotation.

      Drawing Representation

    The Draw interface allows the control of the View representation in the Draw Canvas through the definition of the View Type, Representation Style and Hatching Style.

    Representation and Hatching rules are used to control the representation of Modelelement types and indicate any sections that may be applied.

     Refer to Chapter 13 for detailed information on drawing representation.

      Region & 2D Drawing

    Through the use of a scaled area of the drawing (Region) and 2D drawing tools, Drawfacilitates the incorporation of a bespoke drawing into the sheet.

     Refer to Chapter 14 for detailed information on Regions and 2D drawing.

      Revision Control & Change Highlighting

    Draw facilitates the management of drawing versions by a Revision Control utility.The utility allows the user to define Revisions and highlight any changes in thedrawing by a comparing two versions.

    3  Draw User Interface

    The Draw module allows a designer to generate fully annotated engineering drawings directly from designdata formed in the Model module. There are a number of facilities in the Draw application that may be usedto create and modify drawings; aided by a user interface and concepts unique to Draw.

    The sections that follow consider the Draw User Interface and key concepts in greater detail.

    Draw Hierarchy3.1

    The Draw User Interface and drawing production workflows are underpinned by a database hierarchy. Whilethe user has little requirement to refer to the hierarchy during drawing creation, it is important to considerthat the hierarchical organisation of data allows the logical creation and storage of drawings and sheets.

      The hierarchy has been simplified to give clarity to the basic arrangement.

     As with all AVEVA E3D databases, the uppermost element in the Draw hierarchy is the World; representedsymbolically as /*.

    Before physical drawing elements can be created (Sheets (SHEE), Views (VIEW) and Regions (REGN)) anumber of administrative data hierarchy elements must exist. The administrative elements Department(DEPT), Registry (REGI) and Drawing (DRWG) divide the project into structured areas for drawing creation.Libraries (LIBY) are flexible in their hierarchical position and are used for the storage of project or companyspecific defaults and Draw elements.

     Refer to Chapter 5 Draw Hierarchy & Sheet Creation for further information on the creation and useof the Draw hierarchy.

    User Interface Overview3.2

    The Draw application is formed by the following interface components.

      Microsoft® Office Fluent™-based User Interface 

    The interface presents Draw functions and utilities via a series of general and context specific tabs.

      Draw Canvas 

    The principal window in the application, this area is used to view, create and modify Drawing Sheets.The canvas may be tabbed to aid the navigation of multiple drawings.

    22 www.aveva.com© Copyright 2012 to current year. AVEVA Solutions Limited and its subsidiaries. All rights reserved.

      Status Bar  

     At the base of the application window, this area displays the current position and scale in the DrawCanvas with respect to the current owner and is used for the toggling of Draw Canvas settings suchas Object Snap and Grid visibility.

      Active Properties & Properties Grid 

    Represent two grids used to set, view and modify the common properties of Draw elements.

    Project Menu & Tabs3.3

    Draw utilises a Microsoft® Office Fluent™-based user interface with a series of tabs displayed at the topof the application window. When the module is opened, the Home tab is initially displayed.

    General tabs group similar tasks such as annotation and update functions together for intuitive selection bythe user. Context  tabs are specific to the function being used, such as labelling or view modification, andare presented on instigating the command then dismissed on completion of the task.

      Tab contents may be hidden by clicking the tab title or by selecting the Minimize the Ribbon optionfrom the prompted right-click menu in the tab.

    Within the presented tabs, key functions are held in Groups.

    Active Properties3.5

    The Active Properties  form is used to view and change the default properties that will be applied to newobjects when they are created, and to subsequently apply these properties to selected objects if required.

    The form is displayed by clicking the Active Properties button inthe Display group of the Home tab.

    By default, the prompted Active Properties  form is docked tothe left of the Draw Canvas.

    The form allows the setting of the following:

      Current Owner

      Current Layer  Also known as the Visual Layer . 

      Current Line Type

      Current Colour

    Current Owner3.5.1

    Through the concept of Current Owner  (CO) AVEVA E3D™ Draw has the inherent intelligence to interpretthe user action in the Draw  Canvas  and automatically place the element within the Draw databasehierarchy. 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 wherenew objects are placed in the Draw hierarchy. In addition, the Current Owner controls how positions anddistances are interpreted through graphical feedback and the status bar.

    By default all new entities are created below the first suitable owner in the Drawhierarchy based upon the Current Owner; for example the drawing of a line withina View is automatically placed beneath a LAYE element and View Note. On theoccasion an appropriate owner does not exist, the owning element isautomatically created.

    The required Current Owner may be selected via theCurrent Owner   options list from the Active Properties form or intelligently through modification of selection in theDraw Canvas  – achieved by a double-left click within therequired View, Region or Sheet.

      The Current Owner can also be altered via keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+0 for Sheet and Ctrl+1 through toCtrl+9 for Views/Regions).

      An alternative method to define the Current Owner  via the Draw  Canvas  and Draw  Power  Wheel  isdescribed in Section 7.5 View Manipul ation  – A Wo rked Example .

    May be defined explicitly or as defined by the Current / Visual Layer .

    In addition to being referenced in the Active Properties form, the Current Owner  is indicated by the DrawCanvas highlight of the View or Region frame.

    For example, the Sheet shown contains four Views and View 1 is highlighted as the Current Owner . Anyelement created at this point will be owned by View 1 with the appropriate hierarchy elements createdautomatically.

    The highlighting of the Current Owner   may be amplified byselecting Greyout mode from the Status bar.

      The colour of the Current  Owner  border highlight may be modified via the Project Menu  > Options  >Display  area and selection of Colours: Curren t Owner bord er (active). 

    Visual Layers3.5.2

     

    Draw utilises a system of Visual Layers  to group objects inthe Sheet to aid the management and editing of a drawing.

    The Active Properties form reflects the current Visual Layer  via the Current  Layer , Current  Line  Type  and Current Colour  fields.

     Acting as a series of overlays to the Drawing content, each Visual Layer may be employed in anorganisational capacity to group drawing elements by purpose or type i.e. construction lines or annotation.In addition, with each Visual Layer having an associated Colour and Line Type, a Visual Layer may be usedto define the collective properties of a series of elements.

    For example, the following drawing is formed by a base Visual Layer containing the View contents (Visual

    Layer 0) and two annotation Visual Layers.

    Visual Layers form

      Visual Layers are not applied todesign graphics.

    Visual Layer: Primitives & Notes  

    Visual Layer: Dimensions & Labels  

    Visual Layer 0: Sheet Views  

      In regards to the Draw Hierarchy, a Sheet (SHEE) owns a Visual Layer Set (VLYSET) which containsthe individual Visual Layers (VLAYER).

      Visual Layers should not be confused with LAYE elements. From the perspective of a Draw User, theLAYE element is owned by a Sheet in the Draw hierarchy and is an administrative element for thestorage of Draw annotation. A series of LAYE elements, through naming and setting of purpose, areintegral to the Automatic Drawing Production process and the population of the Drawing Sheet.
