AVEVA Marine – Outfitting Draft Administration setup, customization, control, and coordination of all drawing-related activities within an AVEVA Marine project. It ensures that drawings generated from the 3D model are accurate, standardized, and production-ready , whether they’re used for design reviews, class approval, or manufacturing.
🧱 1. Drawing Environment Setup
Define drawing directories and storage structure for:
Hull and structural drawings
Outfitting layouts
Isometrics and spools
Cable/HVAC route drawings
General arrangement (GA) drawings
Create and manage templates for:
Title blocks (yard or company branded)
Border frames
Default views (plans, sections, details)
Apply discipline-specific standards for fonts, layers, line types, symbols, etc.
⚙️ 3. Rule-Based Drawing Configuration
Set up drawing rules and filters using tools like:
AVEVA Draft AVEVA Drawing Manager
Control:
Auto-generation of views
Part tagging and ballooning
Dimension placement and annotation layers
🔄 4. Drawing Update & Revision Control
Manage drawing revisions and version history.
Sync drawings with model updates using drawing reissue processes .
Ensure obsolete drawings are archived or flagged.
🧾 5. Drawing Production Coordination
Support teams in generating:
Fabrication drawings (panels, spools, brackets)
Arrangement drawings
Installation drawings (for piping, cabling, HVAC)
Assembly and block drawings
Help streamline batch drawing generation for large systems.
📤 6. Export and Delivery
Define output formats (DWG, DXF, PDF).
Support digital approval workflows (class, QA, procurement).
Coordinate drawing packaging for production or review.
