- 3 minute read
The procedure describes how to map user defined attributes, stored in the catalogue database. User defined attributes can be added to a database view, then added to the conceptual model and mapped from the catalogue database.
The Piping Specification Pressure attribute and Piping Specification Temperature attribute are mapped to the piping network system element in the procedure.
-
Launch the Lexicon module and select the ACP project.
-
Add the SpecificationPressure and SpecificationTemperature user defined attributes to the project.
-
Launch the Paragon module and select the ACP project.
-
Add the :SpecificationPressure and :SpecificationTemperature attribute values to each required specification element.
-
Launch the Admin module and select the EPT project.
-
Make sure the dictionary database is available. If the dictionary database is not available, create the dictionary database and add it to the required MDB.
-
Launch the Configuration module and select the EPT project.
-
On the Rules tab, in the Tools group, click Database Views Editor to display the Database Views Editor window.
-
Add the :SpecificationPressure and :SpecificationTemperature attributes to the piping specification database view.
-
On the Data Model tab, in the View group, click Grid and select Conceptual Model from the drop-down menu to display the Conceptual Model window.
-
Add the Piping Specification Pressure attribute to the Piping Network System class in the conceptual model, set the Data Type value to Pressure.
-
Add the Piping Specification Temperature attribute to the Piping Network System class in the conceptual model, set the Data Type value to Temperature.
-
On the Rules tab, in the Mappings group, click Class and Attribute to display the Mapping window.
-
Specify the catalogue mapping for the attributes.
-
Launch the Engineer module and select the EPT project.
-
Open a drawing and create a piping network system on the drawing canvas. The Piping Specification Pressure and Piping Specification Temperature attributes are displayed.
