Open the Template in AutoCAD / Select an existing AutoCAD drawing to be used as the Installation Detail Template

1. Click Open Drawing.

2. If a drawing with the same name as that entered in the Template field is found in the Installation Detail Templates folder for the project, this drawing is automatically selected and opened in AutoCAD.

3. If there is no such drawing in that folder, a message is displayed asking whether or not the required file is to be browsed for and copied to the Installation Detail Templates folder:

   

4. Click Yes to proceed. A window is then displayed which is used to browse for the required file. Once the required file is selected, click Open Drawing to open the drawing in AutoCAD and copy it to the Installation Detail Template folder.

5. Once the drawing is opened in AutoCAD appropriate Datalinks must be assigned to each block attribute so AVEVA Electrical can update the attribute values with hookup item bill of materials, tags assigned and title block information. Refer to Assign Datalinks to Templates and Seed Files.

   Apply the appropriate Datalinks to each of the Template drawings attributes to map fields to update:

   • Title Block information

   • Drawing Revision history

   • Tags Assigned

   • Bill of Materials

     Note:
     Once the AVEVA Electrical Datalinks have been assigned to the Template drawing, Open Drawing will automatically update the Datalinks with the current Bill of Materials saved to the database.

Click New Item to display the Find a Component window, used to assign items to the Template. Refer to Assign Installation Detail Items.

To change the quantity of any items assigned, click in the Qty grid column and edit the value.
