General ADP

The General ADP options create drawings from specified parts of the Design model in the usual way, and then add annotation according to defaults set up by the System Administrator.

The defaults are stored in files, and there are different defaults suitable for different types of drawings. The user must load a suitable file for the drawing being produced.

The ADP application can add dimensions, labels, and schedules to a drawing. It can also add graphical information such as equipment centrelines and pipe end symbols.

The ADP application recognizes different Types of dimensions:

• Type 1 dimensions are used for pipework.

• Type 2 dimensions are used for equipment centres.

• Type 3 dimensions are used for gridlines.

You can control the way in which each type of dimension is displayed. You can specify the order in which types of dimensions are generated. For each type, you can set up Rules using PML expressions to define how different drawing element types are dimensioned.
