A Marine Drawing normally consists of data in the PADD database and the marine drawing object stored in an ".SDB" file. Design Reuse will take care of both when transferring a drawing. The data in the transfer set for one drawing typically consists of:
-
<DrwgName>.dtl
-
<DrwgName>_R.dtl
-
<DrwgName>_1.SDB
-
<DrwgName>_1_refs.xml
The data in the PADD database is transferred via datal. The datal data is split up in two parts: one for the PADD elements and on for setting the references. The marine drawing objects is stored in the ".SDB" file. In case a DRWG has more than one sheet there will be one SDB-file for each sheet. They will be named "<DrwgName>_1.SDB", "<DrwgName>_2.SDB", "<DrwgName>_3.SDB" etc.
The marine drawing object has references to elements in the PADD and the DESI database. These references are listed in a table stored in an xml-file. The table is used at import to re-establish these references in the marine drawing object.
