Drawing Tasks

These tasks operate on a specific drawing. Select Create then Area ADP Library and then Template Drawing or Modify and Area ADP Library and then Template Sheet from the main menu to access them.

Keyplan_View

This is the Overlay Sheet method for keyplan production. It produces an OLAY based keyplan at SHEE level. To function correctly, the OVER name specified in the options must exist in the library. This OVER must be constructed with SpPURP ABAT, and it should own a VIEW of SpPURP ABAK.

Once the view exists process it using the Create > Area ADP Library > Keyplan Layers menu item. This creates all the necessary layers corresponding to each of the existing areas built in the ‘area definition library’.

When the drawing is processed, an OLAY element will be created under the SHEE element that references the specified OVER and shows the correct ‘hatched layer’ for the relevant area. This is achieved by the setting of the OLAY attribute OSLV to include the design and the layer number that corresponds to the relevant area.

The OLAY is named per the SHEE name plus a suffix /Keyplan

Report_Labels

This produces a report as specified in Process Tasks, but in this case produces a single report for the relevant drawing.

Schedule

This produces a table which creates a list of given elements according to a specified discipline drawlist. This discipline is probably the same IDLI as the one you created for the View contents. The table can be created vertically down or horizontally from left to right.

In order to facilitate the table, create the relevant symbol templates for the header, table entry, and last entry (if different), that extracts the relevant data using Draft hashcodes.

To position the table on the page and permit overflow areas, create a series of one or more ‘reserved areas’ on the relevant backing sheet. The reserved area will exist in a NOTE on the backing sheet and have the function attribute set to ‘Table Data’. The LVIS should be set False so that the rectangles do not appear on the final drawing.

Each rectangle should have FPEN attribute set to indicate the order in which they are to be filled. That is, the main reserved area rectangle will be set FPEN 1 with subsequent set to 2 onwards. The origin of the rectangle is important since it will determine the position of the first symbol within it. For example, the first reserved area rectangle for a vertical fill would have the origin at the Top Left if the relevant symbols also had their origin at the Top Left.
