Area Based ADP Administration

Area Based ADP (Automatic Drawing Production) can be used with either AVEVA Plant or AVEVA Marine (henceforth known as the "base product" in this document).

Area Based ADP (henceforth known as the "ABA" in this document) does not work with the Marine Drafting Module of AVEVA Marine.

The purpose of this document is to provide the ABA administrator with guidance on how to organize the application to enable you to easily produce drawings from the 3D model.

It is assumed that the administrator is an experienced user of the Draft module and this is reflected in the terminology used in this guide. All terms are fully described in the Administrator Application User Guide and the User Guide for this module.

ABA allows you to produce drawings by selecting predefined physical box volumes (known as areas) and matching them to a template that describes the format of the drawing to be produced.

As ABA Drafting administrator, you are responsible for setting up the libraries for these templates. Setup involves the definition of labelling rules, the classification of discipline based drawing contents, and the construction of drawing tasks. The latter is defined as any activity applied to a drawing, such as the creation of a North arrow, or the plotting of a drawing.

You can create new libraries, or edit the content of existing libraries, so that the standard data available to individual users complies with a company's requirements for drafting functions. This includes the definition of areas, the configuration of the drawing number, the building of key plans, and the maintenance of drawing symbols.
