Design Reference Database

This is a restricted Design database, used mainly for administrative purposes – it cannot include any SITE or HULL data. Its main use is for storing information about Systems and Areas for use in Engineering and Schematics applications. It is therefore useful for users who are licensed only for 2D applications.

It is created by setting a flag on the database when it is created; this is the only way to create it and the flag cannot be removed at a later date.

Points to note about Design Reference databases:

• AVEVA Engineering or AVEVA Schematic users can use them.

• They cannot be the default DB in an MDB.

• They cannot include SITEs; this also prevents the creation of elements below SITEs.

• They can include Schematic-3D link elements, making link information available in AVEVA Schematic products when their users do not have access to normal DESI databases.
