Primitive Element
Description:
DRAWI is an element which may be used to produce a symbol or shape on a drawing not normally catered for elsewhere in PDMS. If, for example, it were necessary to show a company name in large letters painted on the side of a tank, the letters could be built up as DRAWI elements which would be members of the EQUIP containing the tank. Commonly used to show the centreline of a beam or column.
