Designer

The Electrical Designer section is designed to help users learn how to use the Electrical Designer of AVEVA Electrical. This section describes how to create automated termination, single line and schematic diagrams from equipment, cable and wiring data.

Electrical Designer manages all tasks typically handled by an Electrical Designer during a project life cycle including AutoCAD drawing generation, drawing list management, updating of revisions and printing of AutoCAD files for single line diagrams, termination diagrams, installation detail drawings etc. Electrical Designer can be used to:

• Manage all project drawings and drawing revisions (including batch updates, batch revision changes and plotting) from a Graphical User Interface.

• Generate single line and schematic drawings from Templates with attributes updated from the AVEVA Electrical database.

• Generate termination drawings parametrically from the AVEVA Electrical database.

• Generate installation detail drawings with Bill of Materials and create bulk Bill of Materials reports for an entire project.

• Access Engineering Data created with other AVEVA Electrical applications including equipment data created with the Electrical Engineer application.

• Auto-generate equipment wiring via AVEVA Electrical using Wiring Rules.

• Access termination data created with the AVEVA Electrical Wiring Manager application.

• Produce Drawings List and Drawing changes reports.

• Industry standard drawing/document exchange using Autodesk's AutoCAD application.

• Define diagram layout using AutoCAD; total control over drawing standards, symbology and drawing format.

• "Linking" of AutoCAD attributes to the database for data transfer to each drawing. That is, any information that is changed in the AVEVA Electrical database (for example, a Tag Number, Cable No, wire marking) is automatically updated in the appropriate drawing (the next time it is Updated - updating can be done in batch mode).

• Printing/updating any number of selected drawings via the Drawings List (Drawing Register).

Users can also easily access Equipment (Load, Supply etc.) data entry windows in Electrical Engineer and Wiring Termination windows in Electrical Wiring Manager directly from within Electrical Designer. Licenses for AVEVA Electrical Engineer/Wiring Manager are required to access these forms.
