Design Data Templates

A collection of values and designators can be grouped together to create an assembly. Refer to Create Assemblies. The values and designators may be any of the values and designators that a drawing may be labelled with from the P&ID Data Grid, for example, AVEVA P&ID, AVEVA P&ID Reports, AVEVA Instrumentation and AVEVA Schematic Database data.

Such assemblies are known as Design Data Templates, as opposed to the standard graphical assemblies consisting of pipes and symbols. Design Data Templates may be used on the same drawing or inserted into another drawing after creation.

When a new Design Data Template is created, it is automatically placed in the relevant Project Assemblies>Design Data Templates symbol folder (Instrument, Equipment, Pipe or Drawing). Design Data Templates may then be associated with any appropriate symbol, pipe, or with a drawing. The data they display is dynamic as described above, and will change to reflect the values for the item or drawing they are associated with. Refer to Insert Assemblies.

Design Data Templates can only be removed by the AVEVA P&ID administrator.
