AVEVA E3D – Drawing Production (Advanced) module, primarily accessed through the DRAW application, is designed to automate and streamline the creation of detailed, intelligent engineering drawings directly from 3D model data. This advanced functionality enhances productivity, ensures consistency, and reduces manual drafting errors.โ
๐ ๏ธ Key Features of Drawing Production (Advanced)
1. Automatic Drawing Production (ADP)
ADP enables the automated generation of annotated drawings based on predefined rules. This includes:
- General ADP: For equipment and piping layouts.
- Support and Hanger ADP: Specifically for structural supports and hangers.
- Isometric ADP: For creating isometric views of piping systems.
- Area-Based ADP: Focused on specific plant areas. These utilities ensure that drawings are consistently updated with the latest model changes. โ
2. Dynamic Annotation and Dimensioning
DRAW integrates directly with the 3D model, allowing for:
- Automatic dimensioning: Dimensions are recalculated whenever the model is updated.
- Intelligent annotations: Labels and notes that adjust with model changes.
- 2D annotations: Including drawing notes, frames, and tables.
3. Advanced View Management
Users can create and manipulate drawing views using:
- 2D and 3D view definitions: For comprehensive representation.
- Section planes: Flat, perpendicular, and stepped sections for detailed insights. These features facilitate the generation of precise and clear drawings.
4. Representation Rules and Auto-Tagging
Representation rules allow for:
- Custom visualization: Defining how elements appear in drawings.
- Auto-tagging: Automatically assigning tags to components for easy identification. These tools enhance drawing clarity and consistency.
5. Revision Control and Exporting
DRAW provides:
- Revision management: Tracking changes and maintaining drawing history.
- Export options: Allowing drawings to be saved in various formats for sharing or printing. โ
๐ Training and Skill Development
Advanced training in AVEVA E3D’s Drawing Production module equips professionals with the skills to:
- Navigate the DRAW user interface proficiently.
- Understand and apply drawing hierarchies and defaults.
- Create and modify views using both 2D and 3D methods.
- Employ auto-tagging and representation rules effectively.
- Manage revisions and export drawings appropriately. This training is essential for engineers and designers aiming to leverage the full capabilities of the DRAW module.
