Multi-Discipline Supports Automatic Drawing Production

Drawings for Multi-Discipline Supports (MDS) are created using the AVEVA Area Based Automatic Drawing Production (ADP) application (referred to as ABA).

The purpose of this document is to provide the user with guidance on how to produce MDS drawings from the design model. A pre-requisite to using MDS-ADP is that the Area Based ADP application has been installed and configured by the administrator.

It is expected that the MDS-ADP user will not need full AVEVA product training in order to be able to use the application. However, a minimum level of knowledge is required to be able to enter and exit Draft in the required models.

MDS-ADP allows the user to produce drawings by selecting a support or supports and a template. In an example of a typical MDS-ADP work process, if a user changes the design model for a maintenance project, the drawings used in that area may be updated. The user will enter Draft, start ADP, select the area and reproduce all the drawings generated for that area, running the process overnight.

This guide has been structured to take the MDS-ADP user through all the steps needed to produce new and modified drawings in a logical order. However, the information has been compiled in a format that should allow a user to reference a particular aspect of MDS-ADP to gain specific information.
