Designer provides facilities for the importing of distribution diagram (Key One Line and Single Line Designer Drawings), schematic diagram, termination diagram and enhanced cable block diagram drawing records from other AVEVA Electrical applications as described in Import Drawings into the Drawings List.
AVEVA Electrical enables users to define how the drawing titles will be created based on values assigned to the equipment engineering data.
To Define Imported Diagram Drawing Titles
From the Project tab:
-
Click Setup then click either Single Line Titles (Import format), Key One Line Titles (Import format), Schematic Titles (Import format), Termination Titles (Import format) or Enhanced Cable Block Diagrams Titles (Import format) as required.
-
The appropriate Import Drawing Title Settings window is then displayed (for example):

The window contains three field that define each of the Drawings List's title data fields. Each title can contain a mixture of text and Datalinks. On importing a new diagram from Electrical Wiring Manager or Electrical Engineer, AVEVA Electrical will replace the Datalinks with the value for the database field within the Datalink. For example: Title 1 above is defined as: AREA {AreaNo}. When checking for new equipment (for example), if AVEVA Electrical found a new equipment in area 21 then Title 1 would be: AREA 21.
-
To edit each import title, open the field button on right of Title text box for the desired title field, this displays the list of available Datalinks for the diagram type.

Note:
A distribution diagram from Electrical Engineer can be added to the Drawing list as both a KOL or SLD Distribution Diagram and a KOL or SLD Designer Drawing if required.If both types of drawing are created from a distribution diagram, then the drawing number for the Distribution Diagram will have a 1 added to the end of it so that is different from that of the Designer Drawing.
