General Querying Facilities

When working in AVEVA E3D Design, the user is required to check existing information about some aspects of the program’s operations; for example:

• Current usage in terms of users, modules and Databases (DBs).

• The currently selected output device.

• The unique code which identifies the process the user is running and the station the user is running it from (useful for generating unique work file names).

• The current setting, perhaps the default setting, of a command option.

• The contents of part of a particular DB; for example, the current setting of an attribute or the list of member elements owned by a specific element.

• The elements which match specific selection criteria entered by the user.

To ask for such information from within MODEL, type

Query(almost always abbreviated to Q)

followed by the relevant querying option as described in the following sections.
