Standard Tab

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.

When a support type is highlighted, the support standard Name, 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 plotfile for the selected configuration displays on the right hand side of the window. To zoom in to an area of the plotfile, click and drag the middle mouse button to create a zoom area. To restore the original size, right-click and select Reset Limits from the drop-down menu.

Click Apply before selecting another standard, otherwise any changes are lost.

Support Standard

The support type selected in the list of available framework support types displays, and cannot be changed. The support standard is the code used internally within the software by the Supports application.

Standard Replacement Name

The Standard 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

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

Select the check box to include the currently selected support standard in selection lists.

Deselect the check box to exclude the currently selected support standard from selection lists.

Isometric MTOC Flag

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 Source Reference (SREF) Attachment Point (ATTA) for the framework)

Select the check box to include the material in the isometric material list.

Deselect the check box to exclude the material from the isometric material list.

The isometric MTOC flag overrides any subsequent shop flag settings that display on the Parameters tab. Refer to Parameters Tab for further information.

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 )
