The /*Hyper_Plant task produces a series of files which can be used to interface to the AVEVA HyperPlant product.
The task produces four files, which are linked by a common field ‑ an index number that represents a drawing:
-
Plotfile, for example, -dra1.plt
A base product format plot file, one for each drawing produced during an ABA process run.
-
Hit file, for example, -dra1.hit
A text file that contains data about each label that appears on the drawing, specifying the label location on the page (0,0 is bottom left), the relevant design element reference and name.
One file is produced for each drawing produced during an ABA process run.
-
Sheets file, for example, -[base product]_dsheet.out
A file that provides the link between each drawing and its related plot file and hit file.
A single file is produced for the ABA process run.
-
Items file, for example, -[base product]_item_to_dsheet.out
A file that provides the link between a design element and the sheet on which it appears.
For example, if you wish to know on which drawings the equipment /PUMP1 appears, the four files produced can be:
dra1.plt; dra1.hit; [base product]_dsheet.out; [base product]_item_to_dsheet.out
You can scan the items file [base product]_item_to_dsheet.out to determine the index of the sheets on which /PUMP1 appears.
The sheets file [base product]_dsheet.out can then be read to find which plotfile and hitfile relates to which sheet.
