Identify the tasks that can be performed in the Drawings and Reports environment.

Prerequisite Session: • •

SP3D Overview SP3D Common Sessions

Overview: You use the Drawings and Reports task in SP3D to create orthographic drawings, isometric drawings, and reports. When your model is registered using the SmartPlant Registration Wizard, you use the Drawings and Reports task to publish volume and composed drawings, orthographic drawings, isometric drawings, and reports. To access the Drawings and Reports task in SP3D, click the Tasks > Drawings and Reports command as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Tasks > Drawings and Reports Command

Before you can create components for drawings and reports, you need to organize the Management Console hierarchy with folders for each component type. The Management Console organizes the different document types into a customizable hierarchy. After organizing the Management Console hierarchy, complete the setup steps that include setting up drawing and report templates, creating view styles and appropriate filters, and specifying isometric drawing options. By using the component functionality of the Management Console, you can create, edit, update, print, save, and publish drawings and reports. The Drawings and Reports task provides an update feature that increases productivity by keeping deliverables current in the SP3D software. When the 3D model changes, you can update the drawings and reports. Default templates for reports and view styles for drawings are delivered with SP3D, and you can customize them to suit your needs. It is possible to customize the templates and view styles before any objects exist in the model. However, objects should exist in your model before you create drawings and reports. © Copyright 2007 Intergraph Corporation

SP3D Drawings and Reports Tutorial: Drawings and Reports: An Overview

Creating Drawings The different types of drawings that you can create in Drawings And Reports task are: •

Composed Drawings: Composed drawings are orthographic drawings created in a 3D task. You can use the Composed Drawing component, available in the Drawing and Reports task Management Console, to manage the composed drawings. Composed drawings are flexible. They allow you to have views that are managed by a drawing region and associate the views to volumes and other views. Composed drawings can also have snapshot views on them. Snapshot views give you the ability to get a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) snapshot of your model into a drawing.

•

Volume Drawings: You can use volume drawings to create general arrangement or construction drawings of areas within the model. Volume drawings use a template that shows a single large view of a small portion of a model, thus many of these drawings are needed to cover the entire model. Since the Volume Drawing component uses a template to create drawings, you can place a view on the template and associate the view with a view style to control the resulting drawing.

•

Drawings by Query: You can use the Drawing by Query Manager component, in conjunction with the Orthographic Drawings by Query component to create drawings by specifying a filter-based query to collect objects for drawings. This drawing type is appropriate for creating detail drawings of particular objects within the model. They are especially useful when creating drawings that use the same style or format for large numbers of similar objects, such as hangers or supports. The Drawings by Query Manager can also be used in conjunction with the Piping Isometric Drawings by Query component to produce piping isometric drawings. The output for piping isometric drawings is controlled by the ISOGEN option settings defined in isometric style.

Creating Reports You use the Drawings and Reports task to create report templates that control the content and format of reports. The default file format of reports in the software is Microsoft Excel format. You can use the Report Editor command of the Drawings and Reports task to configure your reports to use queries and special formatting. You can publish Spreadsheet Reports just like drawings. However, the Spreadsheet Reports are published as Excel spreadsheets with no physical data.

Creating 2D Drawings An application that you can use while working in Drawings and Reports task is the 2D Drawing Editor. This application appears as a separate application window from where you edit border templates, drawing templates, and backing sheets for all types of drawings. You can use 2D Drawing Editor to create sketches, production drawings, and other 2D shapes. 2D Drawing Editor supports major existing CAD environments such as AutoCAD and MicroStation. You have full import and export capabilities for traditional CAD data. You can also work with .dgn and .dwg data in native formats—as if these formats were OLE-enabled. © Copyright 2007 Intergraph Corporation

SP3D Drawings and Reports Tutorial: Drawings and Reports: An Overview

OLE servers act as wrappers around foreign data and allow you to simply drag AutoCAD or MicroStation data into 2D Drawing Editor. You can also locate points in the CAD geometry and work directly off those points in your 2D Drawing Editor document. You can use the user interface of 2D Drawing Editor shown in Figure 2 to create drawings according to your requirements.

Session 2: Creating a Volume Drawing Objective: By the end of this session, you will be able to: •

Create and update a volume drawing.

Prerequisite Sessions: • • •

SP3D Overview SP3D Common Sessions Drawings: An Overview

Overview: Most general arrangement and construction drawings use a template that shows a large view of a small portion of a model. As a result, many of these drawings are needed to cover the entire model. Volume drawings enable you to document many areas of a model with the same drawing template, eliminating the need to create multiple drawings to cover different areas of the model. A volume drawing component uses a template to create drawings. So, an SP3D administrator needs to create new view styles and templates for use with the drawings or edit the existing styles and templates, as appropriate. For example, the administrator can place title block labels and reports on templates to reflect your project or company standards. Once the templates and view styles are created or edited, you can place a view on a template and associate the view with a view style to determine the appearance of the resulting drawing. You can then define the contents of the view by creating a drawing volume, which is associated to single or multiple views, in the template. You place a drawing volume in the Space Management task. Before you can create drawings in the Drawings and Reports environment, Microsoft Excel must be configured on your system Execution of embedded reports: Many drawings and reports use Visual Basic macros. Without enabling Microsoft Excel to run embedded reports, you will not be able to run the drawings and reports. Therefore, you need to enable this setting on your system by performing the following steps In Microsoft Excel 2003: 1.

On the menu bar, click the Tools > Macro > Security command. The Security dialog box is displayed.

2.

Click the Trusted Sources tab, select the Trust access to Visual Basic Project check box, and then click OK, as shown in Figure 1

Creation of volume drawings involves the following tasks: 1.

Adding a volume drawing component: The drawing components are organized into folders, which can be added to the root folder in the Management Console and other folders. Each component has a different icon and right-click menu.

2.

Placing a drawing volume: Drawing volumes are a critical piece of the volume drawing creation process. Drawing volumes are different from the other drawing components in that they exist in the 3D model as objects. These volumes are placed and associated with the appropriate volume drawing component to create a volume drawing. You can define a drawing volume by using the Place Drawing Volume commands in the Space Management task. You can also specify the size of a volume based on the grid coordinates in the model. Volumes can be placed using the following commands: o o o o

Place Drawing Volume by View Place Drawing Volume by Selection Place Drawing Volume by Two Points Place Drawing Volume by Four Points

Volumes are stored in the Plant database. The software automatically names a volume and places it in the space hierarchy. When a 3D task, such as Piping, is active, you can see the defined volumes on the Space tab of the Workspace Explorer, which makes it easy to locate and manipulate drawing volumes. 3.

Updating the drawing: The drawings can be updated either individually or multiple drawings at a time. The drawings may be updated on your client workstation using © Copyright 2007 Intergraph Corporation

The previous volumes that have been placed will all maintain the northing direction on the drawing as pointing up on the drawing sheet. However, the 4 point volume contains the flexibility to rotate the view by 90 degrees. This is accomplished by the order and location in which you place your points. The placement of Point 1 and Point 2 will define the X-Axis. If the line between Points 1 and 2 is along the Y-Axis in the model, the volume rotates by 90 degrees. The line that is determined between points 2 and 3 will define the YAxis of the volume and the line between Points 3 and 4 will determine the depth (elevation) of the volume. When the volume is positioned on the view in the drawing, the X-Axis will be along the bottom of the drawing, where the northing direction is now pointing to the left on the drawing sheet.

Select the first point of the volume by using the Pinpoint ribbon. Key in the coordinates E: 72’, N: 58’, EL: 0’ on the PinPoint ribbon for the first point. This point will define the starting point of the volume as shown in Figure 36. © Copyright 2007 Intergraph Corporation

12. Click the Select button on the vertical toolbar or right-click the graphic view to terminate the Place Drawing Volume by Four Points command. This completes the procedure to create the volume drawing. You can switch to the Space tab of the Workspace Explorer to verify that five drawing volumes are created under the hierarchy of the drawing folders. After creating the volume drawing, you can update it to the Batch Server instantly to enhance the performance of SP3D, provided batch processing is configured for the selected Plant. To update the drawing, you use the Update Now command, which is accessed by right-clicking a parent node in the Management Console. You can update one or more drawings at a time. If you have edited the previous copy of a volume or composed drawing, the software recalls the changes and recreates them. When a drawing is created and updated, the software collects the 3D objects in the drawing and then passes them to the view style. View style creation is an administrative workflow and contains several rules for filtering, labeling, and creating the graphics in the output drawing. The view style also lists tests and actions that are performed on the objects. If the objects pass these tests, then single or multiple or all the rules are applied to the objects that provide the resultant drawing.

Steps for Updating the Drawings: After the drawings are updated, they will appear in the Detail View, as shown in Figure 39.

Prerequisite Sessions: • • • •

SP3D Overview SP3D Common Sessions Drawings and Reports: An Overview Creating a Volume Drawing

Overview: A composed drawing is an orthographic drawing that you create by defining one or more drawing views of selected volumes. A drawing view will process all objects in the model that are in its associated volume, not just the objects displayed in the current workspace. You can optionally select a filter to limit the objects processed by the drawing view and also individually select objects to exclude. You can use any method in the Space Management task environment to create the volumes. The composed drawing workflow is as follows: 1.

Define drawing view layout templates and border templates (Administrator): Your administrator defines Layout templates and Border Templates. The Layout templates define standard single and multiple view drawing layouts along with defaults for all view properties such as view direction, view style, and scale. The Border templates define standard drawing sizes along with the standard title block properties. When you create a new drawing, the view layout you select is scaled to fit your selected border and added to the drawing so you don’t have to place all the views manually. You can later add more views or edit the existing views as needed.

SP3D Drawings and Reports Tutorial: Creating a Composed Drawing

The Border and Layout are both designed separately as an administrative task. “New Drawing” merges them together.

New Drawing in 3D task Figure 1: Administrator creates standard Layout and Border Templates 2.

Create a drawing folder for your composed drawings (Administrator): Each individual composed drawing must reside within a composed drawing folder (sometimes called “Composed Drawing Component”) in the drawings hierarchy. You can create any number of composed drawing Folders nested directly under a generic drawing folder. It is best practice for your administrator to predefine your drawing folder hierarchy using the Drawings and Reports environment. This hierarchy should be designed to facilitate browsing to the specific drawings of interest. It is possible, however, for you to create a new composed drawing folder at the time you create a composed drawing.

3.

Create a Space folder for the drawing volumes (Administrator): Drawing views will reference Space Management volumes. Individual designers will create the volumes as needed for the composed drawing views. These drawing volumes should be organized in the Space Management hierarchy according to the management plan of your administrator. Since you can locate a volume used by a drawing view by picking on the drawing view (this will be demonstrated later), it is not necessary to have a deep browsing structure for the drawing volumes. An administrator may, for example, create a space folder for each design application area.

4.

Create 3D volumes for the views: You create the volumes needed for your drawing views in the Space Management task environment. You assign these volumes to a Space Management folder to organize the volumes. A single volume can be referenced by multiple drawing views in multiple drawings. Editing the volume will impact all drawing views that reference the volume. You can create volumes for the drawing

views at any time before the step of associating a drawing view to a volume. 5.

Create a composed drawing: The Drawing Console command is available on the Tools menu in any 3D modeling task. Right mouse click on the Composed Drawing component in the Drawing Console to create a new drawing. For your new drawing, a drawing name must be entered, Layout Template, and Border Template need to be selected. The new drawing is created and displayed in a separate Drawing Editor window. Both the Drawing and the 3D modeling environments are available and can be used together as described below.

The Layout template is scaled to fit the Border (drawing size) template.

The new composed drawing is opened in the Drawing Editor.

Figure 2: Layout and Border Templates used in New Drawing Creation 6.

Create new drawing views or edit existing drawing views: If the default drawing view layout is not exactly what you need, you can create new drawing views or edit the existing views created by the Layout you selected.

7.

Associate each drawing view to a volume: Select one or more views in the Drawing Editor window and pick the Associate Objects to View command.

Figure 3: Associate Objects to View Command in the Drawing Editor In the 3D task environment, a ribbon bar is displayed for selecting the associated volume the filter for the drawing views. If a drawing view is already associated to a volume, the associated volume is highlighted and you can select a different volume or pick a different drawing view to associate from the select list.

Figure 4: Associate Objects to View Ribbon in 3D Task Environment

If you do not select a filter, then all objects in the model database that are in the associated volume will be processed by the drawing view. This can be time and resource intensive and it is recommended to always select a filter for every composed view. 8.

Update drawing or view: It is possible to update a composed drawing view immediately while in the Drawing Editor. You may also update a complete drawing which updates all the views in the drawing as well as the border labels by using the

Steps for Creating Composed Drawings: Create a composed drawing in Unit U02 of your workspace by performing the following tasks: A. Place two volumes enclosing the elevation 31 ft and elevation 18 ft of the piping rack in Unit U02, using the Place Volume by Selectset command in the Space Management task. Name the top volume U02 Top and the middle volume U02 Middle. The view of the model after creating the volumes should resemble Figure 5.

Figure 5: Placed the Volumes at 31 ft and 18 ft Elevation of the Piping Rack

B. Create a new composed drawing, from any of the modeling tasks, with the drawing named U02 Struc Plan in the Composed Drawings component under the Drawings folder in the Management Console. The new composed drawing will appear in the Management console hierarchy, as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6: New Composed Drawing Component and Drawing

C. Place two views in the composed drawing template with names View1 and View2 by using the Place View command. The specifications for the Views are as follows: Points for View1: A1, C8 Points for View2: D1, G8

D. Associate the drawing volumes, U02 Top and U02 Middle that you created in Unit U02 with Views, View1 and View2 by using the Associate Objects to View command. Associate View1 with U02 Top and View2 with U02 Middle.

Steps for Creating Space Management Drawing Volumes: You can create Space Management volumes in the Space Management task by using the following methods: 1.

Select the Tasks > Space Management command to switch to the Space Management task.

2.

Define your workspace for the unit where the drawing volumes need to be added. Define your workspace to display Unit U02 by using a system filter, as shown in Figure 8.

Now, you can switch to the Drawings and Reports task to verify that the new composed drawing component is created under the Management Console hierarchy. To view the composed drawing, you need to update it so that you can open it and view the objects that are included in the drawing.

Steps for Updating the Drawing: After creating the composed drawing, you update it to the Batch Server to enhance the performance of SP3D. To update the drawing, you use the Update Now command, which is accessed by right-clicking the composed drawing in the Detail View. You can update one or more drawings at a time. If you have edited the previous copy of a composed drawing, the software recalls the changes and recreates them. To update the composed drawing you created, perform the following steps: 1.

From the menu bar of your current SP3D environment, click Tasks > Drawings and Reports command to switch to the Drawings and Reports task.

2.

In the Management Console, navigate to the Composed Drawings component, in the Drawings folder as shown in Figure 46.

Session 4: Creating Section and Detail Views Objective: By the end of this session, you will be able to: • Add section and detail views to composed drawings

Prerequisite Sessions: • • • •

SP3D Overview SP3D Common Sessions Drawings and Reports: An Overview Creating a Composed Drawing

Overview: SP3D Drawings allows a user to create section and detail views based on a main drawing view. Detail views are more than enlargements of the main drawing view. They often contain additional graphical information that is not visible in the main drawing view, such as weld or chalk information. You specify the detail view by drawing a circle or polygon around a portion of the main drawing view. The shape created is called the detail envelope. Section views are extracted from main drawing views or other section views. Section views are similar to detail views, except that they can display information in an orientation that is different from that of the originating view. The cutting plane is an annotation marker that indicates where to slice a desired group of objects and from which direction to look at that slice. The cutting plane is comprised of one or more line segments. When comprised of multiple line segments, cutting planes are referred to as "jogged" cutting planes. In this session, you will learn to create and update section and detail views. But first we will create a composed drawing and place a view on it that allows us to create section and detail views. Create a composed drawing in Unit U01 of your workspace by performing the following tasks: Create New Drawing 1.

Open Drawing Console using Tools > Drawing Console

2.

Right mouse click on Composed Drawings and select New Drawing.

3.

Enter values as shown in Figure 1 and click OK to create a new drawing. This opens the drawing editor.

SP3D Drawings and Reports Tutorial: Placing Manual Annotations in a Drawing

Session 5: Placing Manual Annotations in Drawings Objective: By the end of this session, you will be able to: • Place a manual annotation in a drawing.

Prerequisite Sessions: • • • • •

SP3D Overview SP3D Common Sessions Drawings and Reports: An Overview Creating a Volume Drawing Creating a Composed Drawing

Overview: An essential part of the drawing process is adding text, graphics, and annotations because they allow you to identify the objects in a drawing easily. Annotations are text and graphics that provide information about a drawing and emphasize certain objects in the drawing view. Annotations eliminate the need to refer to the software or reference data and help you maintain accurate graphic data throughout a project. In SP3D, you can place two types of annotations, labels and dimensions. Several commands are provided to place annotations and customize your drawings within 2D Drawing Editor. In this session, you will learn how to place labels and dimensions in your drawing.

Labels: Labels are associated with an object in a drawing. Labels help to identify objects easily. When you place a label, it appears near the object, as shown in Figure 1. The default position of the label is top center on all objects, except for closed objects, such as a circle or a rectangle. The default position on closed objects is the center of the object. If you move the object, the label moves with it.

SP3D Drawings and Reports Tutorial: Placing Manual Annotations in a Drawing

You can place labels on drawings after they have been generated. You can click to place the label at the desired position. When you place a label in a drawing, it appears like a tooltip for the object to be labeled. The commands to place labels are available when you edit a 2D drawing in 2D Drawing Editor. You place labels either by choosing one of the label rules that are delivered with the software, or you can create your own label rule. These rules control the appearance of labels as well as their automatic placement on drawings. For example, you can create label rules that place labels with or without borders and leader lines. You can use these rules for many purposes. Examples of rules that are available within SP3D are control point labels, grid line labels, name labels, name and part labels, and piping labels.

Note: • The label rules are saved in the Symbols share in the \Drawings\Catalog\Rules\LabelRules folder. The rules have corresponding templates and symbols under \Drawings\Catalog\Labels\Templates.

Dimensions: Dimensions supply information about the size, location, and orientation of objects in a drawing, such as the length of a line, the distance between points, or the angle of a line. Dimensions are associated with the objects to which they refer, as shown in Figure 2. This enables you to determine and make changes to the plant design.

Figure 2: Dimensions in a Drawing To place dimensions, you use the Dimension toolbar shown in Figure 3, and then select the elements or keypoints to be dimensioned. The commands on the Dimension toolbar from left to right are as follows:

Smart Dimension: Places several different dimensions such as length and angle of a line, radius and diameter of a circle, and length, angle, radius, and diameter of an arc. Distance Between: Places a linear dimension that measures the distance between elements or key points. Angle Between: Places a dimension that measures the angle between elements or key points. Axis: Sets a dimension axis for a drawing. A dimension axis allows you to place dimensions that are perpendicular to or parallel to an element. Coordinate Dimension: Places a dimension that measures the distance from a common origin to one or more key points or elements. Symmetric Diameter: Places a dimension that measures the distance between a center line and another element or key point. Measure Distance: Measures the distance between points in free space or between key points. Measure Distance Along: Measures the distance along an object based on two points. Measure Area: Displays the most recently selected area of the boundary in the current units. It also displays the total area of all selected boundaries in the current document units. Character Map: Inserts a character in a text box by using a different font. You can also insert special characters that do not appear on your keyboard. Leader: Adds a leader to an annotation or to another leader. Balloon: Places a balloon containing text. You can use balloons to refer to an element or a point in free space. Dimension Text: Overrides a driven dimensional value with a text string. A driven dimension is a dimension that is placed as you draw in 2D Drawing Editor. To place this dimension, you need to select the Dimension key-in values automatically option, which is accessed by clicking the Tools > Options menu command and then the General tab of the Options dialog box, as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Options Dialog Box

There are two methods you can use to place dimensions in drawings, automatic dimensioning and manual dimensioning. In automatic dimensioning, the view style controls whether or not dimensions are placed in the drawing. However, in manual dimensioning, the view style and the dimension rules do not apply for display or placement. When you use manual dimensioning, you edit an existing drawing and place dimensions manually. In this session, the steps to place manual dimensions are covered.

Steps for Placing a Manual Label on a Drawing: Place a label in the drawing Piping Plan-1-0005 that you created in SP3D Drawings and Reports Session: Creating a Volume Drawing by using the Manually Place Labels command. Apply the Piping Plan_LineNumber_Longest_Segment label rule to label the pipeline in the drawing. The label should appear in the drawing, as shown in Figure 5.

SP3D Drawings and Reports Tutorial: Creating a Report

Session 6: Creating a Report Objective: By the end of this session, you will be able to: •

Create reports by using the Create Report command in the Drawings and Reports task.

Prerequisite Sessions: • •

SP3D Overview Drawings and Reports: An Overview

Overview: Reports list the objects that exist in the model along with the parameters such as part number, class, description, location, and approval status. These parameters are defined in the report template that you select while creating a report. Report templates control the content and format of the reports. These templates contain the necessary SQL statements and links to other templates to extract the required information to produce a report. In Drawings and Reports task, you create reports by using the Create Report… command. You can also add, delete, modify items in a report and compare it with a previously created report to view the changes between the two reports. Reports are divided into two categories, personal reports and Catalog reports. Personal reports use templates that you create and save. Catalog reports include report templates that are delivered with the software and the templates of the reports created by users. The Catalog reports are further divided into report component folders. For example, the Piping-related reports and all their supporting files are located in the Piping folder. The reports in this location are Catalog reports and are bulkloaded into the Catalog database. This session will cover the procedure for creating a report from a template delivered as a Catalog report.

Steps for Creating a Report: Create a report to include all the Electrical, HVAC, and Process equipment placed in Unit U01. The report should include the parameters: Location – with Unit of Measure - Primary ft and Secondary in, Matrix – Global, Description, Permission Group, and Approval Status of the equipment. 1.

SP3D Drawings and Reports Tutorial: Publishing to SPF

Session 7: Publishing to SPF Objective: By the end of this session, you will be able to: •

Publish a document to SPF by using the Publish command.

Prerequisite Sessions: • • • •

SP3D Overview Drawings: An Overview Creating a Volume Drawing Creating a Composed Drawing

Overview: When you work in an integrated environment with SmartPlant Enterprise, you publish documents containing the drawing data before the authoring tools can share this information. You need to publish documents and associated data for: • • • •

Exchanging data with other tools Sharing common data between tools Providing enterprise-wide accessibility to published documents Managing changes such as workflow history, document revisions, and title block information

You can publish your documents within the Drawings and Reports task by using the Publish command. This command is available for the following document types: • • • •

3D model data (SmartPlant Review file type) Orthographic drawings (viewable files with links to data) Piping isometric drawings (a viewable file with links to data) Reports (a viewable file with links to data)

In an integrated environment, you publish data to SmartPlant Foundation (SPF). SPF acts as a central repository for data and a medium through which information is shared among other tools, such as SmartPlant Instrumentation, SmartPlant P&ID, and SP3D. This session will cover the procedure for publishing orthographic drawings to SPF.

Steps for Publishing Orthographic Drawings to SPF: Publish the orthographic drawing document, Piping Plan-1-0001, of the Piping Plan component to SPF by using the Publish command. The drawing document, after publishing to SPF, should resemble the highlighted section in Figure 1.

Before beginning the procedure: •

Your plant must be registered with SPF. Registration is done by using the SmartPlant > Register… command in the Project Management environment.

•

Make sure that you are in the Drawings and Reports task.

You can see the Piping Plan component under the Management Console and the associated orthographic drawing document, Piping Plan-1-0001, under the Name column, as shown in Figure 2.

The Piping Plan component is created in the Drawings and Reports task with a specific template. The template, with its associated view styles, defines the contents of the component documents when they are created. SP3D generates a Shape2D document, which is saved as an SHA file in the model database. The document shown in the Management Console, in Figure 2, is simply a placeholder for all of these files. You set this file type as an output file for the Piping Plan component and save the file as a Shape2D file in the database for publishing. 1.

Right-click the orthographic document, Piping Plan-1-0001, and click the Properties… option, as shown in Figure 3, to open the Properties dialog box.

•

We are editing the properties of an orthographic drawing; therefore, a list of disciplines will be available, for example, Civil, Electrical, Piping, or Structure.

•

The WBS tab in the Properties dialog box is available only if you are connected with the TEF and Project Management environments.

Revise the document before publishing. This reserves the revision number of a document locally and saves the number to the database with the Major and Minor sets, depending on the revision scheme. Right-click the drawing document, Piping Plan-1-0001, and click the Revise… option, as shown in Figure 5, to revise the document.

Figure 5: Revise… Option

Tips: •

If you have selected a new document or a document for which no revision scheme has been selected, choose the revision scheme to be applied from the list of available options. If you have selected a document with a defined revision scheme, that scheme is displayed here in a read-only format.

• If you do not want to revise the document or if you want to reserve revision numbers without revising the document, leave the Major option empty. 5.

The system confirms the completion of the revision operations, as shown in Figure 7. Click OK.

9.

This is a good opportunity to select a workflow in the Publish dialog box, through which the document will be processed further. Workflows in SPF are an important part of the process. For example, a workflow may send this published document to several people through e-mail for review.

When the publishing process is successful, the system displays a confirmation message, as shown in Figure 11. Click Close in the message box.

Figure 11: Publish Completion Confirmation

SP3D receives notification when publishing is complete. The software stores the orthographic drawing file in the appropriate location and loads the data into the database. The file can then be retrieved as published data by other authoring tools. 10. You can open SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client on your computer to access the SPF. The orthographic document, Piping Plan-1-0001, you published appears in SPF, as shown in Figure 12.
