Hangers and Supports ADP
- Last UpdatedNov 21, 2025
- 6 minute read
This section describes how the backing sheets supplied for Hanger and Supports ADP are set up. The Sheets are supplied in the Library
Each Backing Sheet contains twelve member notes. Each Note owns TEXPs to help define the specific area of the sheet. Some TEXPs are not used at this release, and some Notes contain 2D primitives that are not used at this release.
The TEXPs must be kept as members of certain Notes for the Draft GUI to work correctly. The values in the BTEXT of the TEXP elements can be whole numbers, decimals or fractions.
The standard backing sheet has the following members. Those marked with an asterisk are required, the other are optional.

Note: 2 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/Frame
This Note contains the 2D drafting primitives that define the main backing Sheet border, similar to the backing sheets for standard drawing sheets.
Note: 3 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/Supported_Items
This Note displays a table that lists the pipes that are being supported.
|
TEXP 1 |
BTEX set to BOM:SIB Not used at this release |
|
TEXP 2 |
BTEX set to HEADER_POS:value1,value2 where value1 and value2 define the position of a SLAB that references the supported item table symbol template (SYTM). The origin of the SYTM is the upper left corner of the table. |
|
TEXP 3 |
BTEX set to LABEL_POS:value1,value2 where value1 and value2 define the position of the first SLAB in the support item table. The position is a distance from the lower left corner of the owning BACK. |
|
TEXP 4 |
BTEX set to TILE_X:value where value is the horizontal distance between the reference SLABs in the support item table. |
|
TEXP 5 |
BTEX set to TILE_Y:value where value is the vertical distance between the reference SLABs in the support item table. |
|
TEXP 6 |
BTEX set to TILE_MAX:value Not used at this release |
|
TEXP 7 |
BTEX set to TAGGING:name The LABEL TAGR defines criteria for the Support Table BOM and references that specific label template. |
|
TEXP 8 |
BTEX set to TITLE:text where text is used in the log file to mark the start of messages relating to symbolic labels in the supported item layer owned by the View. |
Note: 4 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/Support_Steel
This table displays the list of member parts, listing the size of each member and its required length.
|
TEXP 1 |
BTEXT set to BOMST:STB Not used at this release |
|
TEXP 2 |
BTEX set to HEADER_POS:value1,value2 Value1 and value2 define the upper left corner position of the steel BOM table. The table template (SYTM) is referenced by a SYMB that is created under a VNOT in the Steel BOM layer of the first View when the support drawing is generated. |
|
TEXP 3 |
BTEX set to LABEL_POS:value1,value2 where value1 and value2 define the position of the first SLAB in the steel BOM list. This position is the distance from the lower left corner of the owning BACK. |
|
TEXP 4 |

|
TEXP 8 |
BTEX set to TAGGING:name where name specifies the name of the TRST that owns the TAGRs to be used for the structural support steel list BOM. The TRST has two member TAGRs, LOCAL and LABEL. These TAGRs are copied into the appropriate layer and the member SLABs that are generated reference them. The LOCAL TAGR defines criteria for locating the Part Number SLAB in the Views. The LABEL TAGR defines criteria for the Support Material Table and references that specific label template. |
|
TEXP 9 |
BTEX set to TITLE:text where text is used in the log file to indicate the start of messages relating to symbolic labels in the support steel layer owned by the View. |
Note: 5 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/TitleBlock
This Note contains TEXPs that define the title block layout such as, date, checked, approved These TEXPs have the BTEX attribute set to fixed information. They are not set to extract data through hash codes.
Two TEXPs in this Note are named DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/Scale and DRA/MAS/H&S_2/Proj. Both TEXPs are at specified positions on the sheet but the BTEX attribute is not set in either case. These two TEXPs are used for placement of the view scale and angle projection specified from the overall default settings. The creation of the drawing is not abandoned if the Note or the two named TEXPs do not exist.
Note: 6 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/TitleBlockData
The TEXPs in this Note are similar to those stored in the Titleblock Note. By default, the visibility of this Note is turned off. When the H&S drawing is generated PDMS looks for a note in the backing sheet ending in TitleBlockData. To avoid an error message in the batch log file this note should exist.
Note: 7 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/DrawingNotes
This Note contains one TEXP. The BTEX is set to
NOTE_WIDTH:30
Not used at this release.
Note: 8 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/Address
This Note contains one symbol. It could be used to reference a company logo symbol template and be positioned were required.
Note: 9 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/SmallPrint
This Note does not contain any members.
Note: 10 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/ModBlock
This Note contains TEXPs that define the revision area block layout of the AVEVA backing sheet. These TEXPs have the BTEX attribute set to fixed information. They are not set to extract data through hash codes.
Note: 11 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/HashTexts
The TEXPs in this Note define the intelligent text hash codes extracting the AUTHOR, DATE and NAME from the owning DRWG and their placement on the backing. A fourth TEXP extracts the title attribute from the hanger or support drawing sheet.
The Drawing and Sheet titles attributes are preset and filled in from the file PDMSUI>DRA>SUPP>UDRWGMAK. Lines 63 and 64 of this file set the drawing title attribute and lines 108 and 109 set the sheet title attribute.
Note: 12 /DRA/MAS/H&S_A2/LIMITS
This note contains one rectangle. The rectangle defines the area on the hanger and support drawing where the Views will be created. It should be noted that placement and sizing of this rectangle should be kept clear of the Supported Item and Support Steel BOM lists to maintain clarity.
