Additional Template Site Conversion

Additional template sites can be converted using the same methodology as existing MDS/TEMPLATES sites:

• /MDS/SPECIALS are converted to APPLDW/SUPPORT/FRAMES/SPECIALS/<suffix>

• /MDS/HANGERS are converted to APPLDW/SUPPORT/HANGERS/<suffix>

• /MDS/TEMPLATES/ORI are converted to APPLDW/SUPPORT/FRAMES/ORI/<suffix>

Template Sets

Different sets of templates, individually contained in APPLDW elements, can exist in the same MDB. For example, APPLDW may contain BS, DIN and AISC framework template sets.

Each framework template APPLDW must have the PURPOSE set to MDST. By default, the correct PURPOSE is assigned during the conversion process. The description of the APPLDW is taken from the description of the converted SITE. For example:

• /SUPPORT/FRAMES/BS

• /SUPPORT/FRAMES/DIN

• /SUPPORT/FRAMES/AISC

Each template type is based on the PURPOSE of the APPLDW:

• Framework templates must have the PURPOSE set to MDST

• Special templates must have the PURPOSE set to MDSS

• Hanger templates must have the PURPOSE set to MDSH

• ORI framework templates must have the PURPOSE set to MDSO

The Supports Application Defaults window allows you to select the set of framework templates, special templates and hanger templates for the project. The templates can also be set when entering the Supports application. Refer to Default Creation Zone and Templates for further information.

ORI framework templates are based on the selected framework template.

Once set, the selection is stored in the AVEVA_DESIGN_DFLTS and is restored for each session.
