Sheet Naming Conventions

The names assigned to Backing Sheets and Overlay Sheets which are to be created by an imported command macro will be treated as described below.

Backing Sheets

The Backing Sheet name must be a valid AVEVA database name.

If the name has already been used for a Backing Sheet in the specified Sheet Library when the command macro is read into Draft, it will be assumed that this is a replacement drawing. All graphics on the old Backing Sheet will be deleted and the new graphics read in to replace it.

If the name has already been used for any other database element in the PDMS database then the command file will be aborted.

Overlay Sheet Names

The rules for Overlay Sheets are the same as those for Backing Sheets with one exception - if an Overlay Sheet already exists in the Sheet Library, and it contains a VIEW element, it will not be overwritten.
