To open the Installation Detail Drawings List, click Select in the Grids and Schedules section of the Home tab.
Select Installation Detail Drawings from the list of grids that is then displayed. The Installation Detail Drawings List grid is then displayed:
Note:
Refer to Working with the Data Grid for information on the grid control including how to select a record (a Drawing).
The grid provides details on each project Installation Detail drawing.
The grid is very similar to the Electrical Designer Drawings List, except that it is filtered to show only Installation Detail drawings.
Mandatory Data
To produce a drawing, a drawing number and sheet number must be entered. Electrical Designer uses these to create a file name. For example: Drawing No: 123456 and Sheet No: 1 are combined to create a file name: 123456-1.dwg.
To produce project Installation Detail Drawings a pre-defined Installation Detail Template must be assigned to each of the drawings in the Installation Detail Drawings List.
Auto Generation of Drawings
AVEVA Electrical uses 'Datalinks' to map database data to AutoCAD drawing attributes. Datalinks are automatically updated by Electrical Designer when a drawing is updated from the Drawings List. For information on using Electrical Designer's Datalinks to update Drawing Title Block (Drawing Border) - including revisions history, Tag numbers assigned to the Installation Detail and the Bill of Materials (or Parts List) refer to Drawing Generation.
