View Based Method

Applies a keyplan using the view based method which relies on a template view being identified as a keyplan for every template sheet, and then a view task being applied to that template view.

When a drawing is processed, all view limits are set through the selected area to be drawn. However, a keyplan requires different drawing limits as it covers a larger area, for example the whole plant.

The Select Keyplan Area window lists all area projects that have been setup using the Area Definition window. Refer to Create and Modify Areas for further information.

Select the Use Area Limits option button to use the selected area for the keyplan and set the view scale so that the limits box for the area fits into the view frame for the keyplan.

Select the Auto Limits option button for a view scale to be automatically calculated so that the contents of the drawlist for the keyplan view fit into the view frame.

Click Apply to confirm the keyplan area settings or Cancel to discard any changes and close the Select Keyplan Area window.

On the ABA Template View window, add the user task Hatch_Keyplan to the Selected window. Refer to Create and Modify ABA Template View for further information.

To set the Hatching and Frame styles and colours, click Modify Task to display the

/Hatch_Keyplan window.

Input a line style for the frame in the Line Style field.

Input a value for the frame colour in the Line Colour field.

Input a value for the hatching style in the Hatching Style field.

Input a value for the hatching colour in the Hatching Colour field.

Click OK to set the hatching and frame styles or Cancel to discard any changes and close the /Hatch_Keyplan window.

The processes for applying a view-based keyplan to the drawing are complete. When drawings are processed, the task applies the hatching to the appropriate area of the keyplan view.
