Datalinks

Designer uses Datalinks placed on Templates and Seed Files to establish a link between a value in the AVEVA Electrical project database and a drawing block attribute, so that when a drawing is generated by Electrical Designer the AutoCAD attribute is automatically updated with the data from the database.

Datalinks can be linked to data such as project name or number or client name from Project Data, or drawing number or title from the Drawings List, Tag No, Cable No or other engineering data from Electrical Engineer or Electrical Wiring Manager data.

Once the Datalinks are added to a drawing they ensure that the engineering data in drawings is the same as that currently in the project database.
