Select Assemblies to Export

In PDMS this option is greyed out and therefore unavailable. To change the settings for exporting Assemblies, select Setup > Settings from main menu to display the AVEVA NET Export - Settings window, then select the Assembly Setup file tab to set the relevant settings.

By default the Create Assemblies Review (RVM) files and Export referenced Design Items check boxes are selected. Create Assemblies Review (RVM) files allows graphics files to be exported with the selected Assembly, while Export referenced Design Items allows the export of Design items associated with an Assembly.

Selecting the Create Assembly Review txt (RVT) files check box generates text files to be exported with an Assembly.

By default when the AVEVA NET Export - Main window is displayed, the current MDB is selected as the item to be exported, this means all of the Assemblies in the MDB will be exported. The user can either select to export an MDB, which means that all of its Assemblies are exported, or select to export specific Assemblies of the selected MDB.

Click Assemblies on the AVEVA NET Export - Main window.

If the selected MDB has a number of Assemblies, and you only want to export specific ones, you can change the selection by clicking Change Selection to display the AVEVA NET Export - Item Selection window. The selection process is the same as that detailed in Select Assemblies to Export.

When you click OK, the AVEVA NET Export - Main window will display a line of text next to Change Selection indicating the number of items selected.

Clicking Apply generates the output files.

Once the output files have been generated they need to be incorporated into a AVEVA NET Staging Area, so that they can be processed by the AVEVA NET Import Controller.
