Standard

The left hand side of the window displays the list of the available framework support types. Filter criteria can be used to specify which framework support types are displayed in the list. Refer to GUI Grid Data for further information.

The right hand side of the window displays the list of available standards which can be used to manage the various property values. Double click within a cell in the Value column to modify the property value. Read only cells are coloured grey.

When a support type is selected, the Name appears in the title of the window. The support standard Replacement Name and Description appear at the top of the window. The information is outside of the tabbed areas and displays on all tabs.

The functionality of the Supports Standard window is explained. Refer to Standard for further information.

Replacement Name

The Replacement Name is used on all windows in the Supports application when referring to the support type defined by the support standard. It is also output in place of the support standard name on automatic drawing production drawings. The name can be modified by editing the text in the field.

Description

The text in this field is configurable to suit each design project, and only displays in the Model module during the creation of Supports. The description in the field does not affect any associated Material Take Off (MTO) details output in automatic drawing production, as the details are stored in the catalog database.

Active State

Allows you to specify which of the available support standards are available for use in the project by the user.

Select Active from the drop-down list to include the currently selected support standard in selection lists.

Select Inactive from the drop-down list to exclude the currently selected support standard from selection lists.

Ancillary Material

Determines if the material for a support appears in the material list on the piping isometric. The setting is applied to the MTOC attribute of the selected component (for example, the SREF atta for the framework).

Select Will be on isometric from the drop-down list to include the material in the isometric material list.

Select Will not be on isometric from the drop-down list to exclude the material from the isometric material list.

SKey

The symbol key that is stored against the SDTE of the specification is displayed here. A symbol key specifies a symbol representation for a support type on an isometric drawing.

SKey Override

You can override the symbol key that is stored against the SDTE of the specification. Input an alternative symbol key value in the field to modify the symbol representation for a support type on an isometric drawing.

Detail Rtext

AVEVA provides a library of Multi Discipline Supports (MDS) catalog content in the AVEVA Catalog Project (ACP), that is reissued periodically to accompany product updates.

Much of the MDS out-of-the-box content can be customized in local projects using the Application Defaults, and where appropriate updates to these are delivered along with product updates, enabling those local projects to take advantage of new functionality and catalog content.

The Detail Rtext functionality allows you to customize the MDS Detail Texts in the Application Defaults, removing the need to modify the ACP directly and maintain them when an update is received.

Note:
If the Detail Rtext field does not display, make sure Application Defaults updates 00087 and 00088 are installed (refer to Update Existing Client Project Application Defaults Databases for further information) together with the latest version of AVEVA E3D Design and ACP.

Input a text expression in the Detail Rtext field that will evaluate at the hanger.

The following text expressions are valid:

( ATTRIB PROP CDES + ' ' + ATTRIB PROP CODE )

( 'HVAC duct fixing by contractor' )

The following text expression would not evaluate to a text result:

( 450mm )
