 Please refer to the AVEVA Everything3D™ 2.1.0 User Bulletin for extensive information on features
introduced at AVEVA E3D 2.1.0.
 Where migrating to AVEVA E3D 2.1 from AVEVA PDMS or Hull & Outfitting 12.1.SP4 please consult the
AVEVA Everything3D™ 2.1.0 Migration & Interoperability Guide for guidance on specific data
considerations.
This fix release includes the following functional enhancements:

Multiport Valves.
The IsoDraft module is now able to produce isometrics containing multiport valves and instruments. Such
valves are typically used in the dairy and food industries.
Users should note the generic type is INST to allow multi-connection

reference array.
Multiport Valves are either single, double or triple bodied in a tier of varying
orientation.
As an addition to ACP project MASTER/PIPECATA database a new CATA

/EXAMPLE-GEA-TUCHENHAGEN-CATA has been included with examples of
GEA Tuchenhagen multi-port dairy and food industry valves
To use these or other manufacturer valves/instruments of a similar design,

users should refer to the Isodraft reference manual.
There are 18 SKEY variations available – the below illustrates an example of a Three-Level Multiport Valve.
In regards to P-Points the following should be noted:

 Instrument dials can have a P3 with an unset bore for orienting the dial. This p-point will normally
be positioned perpendicular to the dial face, on the dial axis. A message will be output near the
component showing the orientation of P3.
 P-Point 11 is the Spindle attachment point and its PURP attribute should be set to ‘SPIN’.
 Multiport Valves may have up to 2 flushing/draining connections:
o These must be P-Point 9 and P-Point 10.

o The isometric will only show a symbolic line and a note CONT TO ”name” for each
connection.
o There will be no materials or isometric representation of the branch connection to these
points.
 For further information please refer to the IsoDraft Reference Manual: INST Symbol Keys and Symbol
Key Reference Index.
Consolidated from previous fix releases:
AVEVA Everything3D 2.1.0.2, Release No. 52472.

AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface.
The AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface is an integral part of AVEVA E3D 2.1. The interface facilitates the transfer
of structural steel data between AVEVA E3D 2.1.0 and AVEVA Bocad Steel (2.1.1 onwards). The interface
makes allowance for the introduction of the new Structural Catalogues at AVEVA E3D 2.1.0 and the use of
GENSEC elements.
The AVEVA Bocad Steel Import and Export tools are located within the Import and Export groups in the
TOOLS tab.
New mapping files have been made available; one for each standard of the new AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural
Catalogue, to be used with the most recent AVEVA Bocad Catalogue (2.2.1 and 2.3 onwards). These
mapping files are required to be customised where the AVEVA Bocad Catalogue has been altered or a
differing standard has been used in a project.
To aid the mapping process a new tool is available to

create or customise mapping files. The AVEVA
Structural Map File Converter is available from the
AVEVA Bocad Steel Import and Export forms via the
Control menu option Map Converter.
The standard P-lines that exist for the profiles within the new AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural Catalogue are
sufficient to use the AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface - additional P-lines previously used are no longer
required. It should be noted that within the new Structural Catalogue ANGLE profiles have a new

orientation convention in line with other products in the market. This is managed by an internal
orientation mapping file.
 It is important to note that the AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface provided within AVEVA E3D 2.1 is
compatible with the ‘old’ Profile catalogue and P-lines as long as the specific P-lines have been
installed.
In regards to the import process, it should be noted that only GENSECs will be created at import due to
SCTN elements being no longer used by the AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural application.
 Please refer to the AVEVA E3D 2.1 User Documentation for further information regarding the
administration and use of the AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface in AVEVA E3D 2.1.
AVEVA SDNF Interface.
The AVEVA SDNF interface facilitates the transfer of structural steel data between structural applications
using the SDNF neutral format file. The interface makes allowance for the introduction of the new
Structural Catalogues at AVEVA E3D 2.1 and the use of GENSEC elements for linear structural elements.
This SDNF interface is available in the Import and Export group of the TOOLS Ribbon tab.
A new mapping file format has been introduced (BLOCK). This will increase the speed of search within the
mapping file. As seen with AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface, a new tool is available to create or customise
mapping files with this new format – the AVEVA Structural Map File Converter. The tool is available from
the SDNF Import and Export forms via the Control menu option Map Converter.
 Existing customised mapping files will be required to be updated where the intent is to use the new
AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural Catalogue. Sample mapping files are provided with the installation.
The standard P-lines existing for profiles in the new AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural Catalogue are sufficient to
use the SDNF interface. It should be noted that within the new catalogue ANGLE profiles have a new
orientation convention in line with other products in the market. This is managed by the orientation
mapping file.
In regards to the import process it should be noted that only GENSECs will be created at import due to
SCTN elements being no longer used by the AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural application.
 Please refer to the AVEVA E3D 2.1 User Documentation for further information regarding the
administration and use of the AVEVA SDNF Interface in AVEVA E3D 2.1.

Supports: Creation of Branch Reinforcement Supports (Support Type BR).
This fix release incorporates Branch Reinforcement Supports into the new AVEVA E3D 2.1 Supports
application. The Branch Reinforcement creation workflow has been aligned with the Supports application
interface and element hierarchy.

List of Fault Corrections

Title: View limits button should be activated when a view is selected in canvas or
using the Explorer.
Symptoms: The View limits button only activated on making a view the Current
86790 185142 Draw
Element. In canvas selection did not cause the button to activate.
Previous/Known workaround: Utilise Current Element.
Solution: The current selection is now used to activate button and populate the form.
Title: Error on exporting Sheet with an incorrect dimension to DWG.

Symptoms: If a Sheet has at least one dimension with an invalid direction, e.g.
direction that is equal to direction of view, an error is presented “Severe serialization
87267 186131 Draw error occurred, operation aborted” on exporting to DWG.
Previous / Known workaround: Correction to dimension direction.
Solution: Fixed – LDIMs with incorrect direction are considered and handled in the
export.
Title: Label Grip invisible when leader line is set to off.

Symptoms: Grip becomes invisible where leader line is off (attribute Lleader eq false)
88357 190039 Draw on General and Symbolic labels.

Description
Title: Enhancement - Customisation support for Revision Control Snapshot Capability.
Solution: The PmlRevisionControl object provides access to creating snapshots for
revisions and graphically displaying or comparing revisions. Like with the DRAW
Graphical User Interface, the snapshots are created and stored as an ARCHIV element
beneath the REVI.
Note that the PmlRevisionControl object only operates on the Sheet that is currently
active and displayed in the canvas.
import 'Aveva.Pdms.SDInteraction.UI'
using namespace 'Aveva.Pdms.SDInteraction.UI.Gui.RevisionControl'
!revisions = object PmlRevisionControl()

Title: Changing Rotation angle to 90 degrees causes problems with limits volume box
& Section plane Grips.
Symptoms: The 3D View in Draw does not currently respect an applied View rotation
angle.
83826 178445 Draw
Previous / Known workaround: The Edit in 3D View button is disabled where a View
Rotation angle is not equal to zero.
Solution: Fixed – 3D View can now be used for Views where the View Rotation angle
is not equal to zero.
Title: Enhancement - PML access to element selection using the Draw browser.
Symptoms: It was not possible to use the Draw browser from PML to return a
selected element.
Solution: There is a new PML object PmlItemOpen which has several methods that
81449 179250 Draw can be used to show the Draw browser for different element types. The methods can
take an argument providing an initial location for the browser, such as a library. The
name of the selected element will be returned to the PML as a String.
Please see the Draw Reference Manual for more information.
Title: Equipment- Selecting view direction with PowerCompass exits primitive creation
command.
Symptoms: While creating the primitive, selecting a view direction using the
87269 186147 Everything3D
PowerCompass will exit the command.
Previous / Known workaround: Set view direction by alternative methods.
Solution: Fixed – PowerCompass may be used to set view direction.

Description
Title: Enhancement - Provide PML access to the entities selected in the 2D canvas
Symptoms: Currently there is no PML access to the 2D canvas selection as the existing
Selection object only operates on the 3D view.
Known workaround: Use of the ID syntax.
Solution: The new CanvasSelection object has been provided that is more generic
than the Selection object and allows the user to interact with the graphical selections
set for the current document in both 2D and 3D. For example it provides PML access
to the selection in both the 2D Draw canvas and the 3D canvas in Model and Draw.
Note that it only operates in graphical mode, not in TTY mode.
Unlike the Selection object, the CanvasSelection object allows PML access to the 2D
canvas. This does not replace the Selection object for 3D which continues to provide
more specialist and powerful access to the selection set in the 3D canvas.
70001 140179 Draw import 'aveva.interaction.generic'

using namespace 'Aveva.Interaction.Generic.Tools.Selection'
!canvas = object canvasselection()

Symptoms: A search under the World element with element Type set to [ALL] and the
free filter expression set to not(unset(description) has a negative performance impact.
- 176965 Everything3D
Previous / Known workaround: Recommended that such searches are avoided.
Solution: Fixed - improved performance of message window when receiving errors
from search.
Title: Open item browser dialog is slow to appear with large projects.
Symptoms: Open item browser dialog is slow to appear.
Solution: The open and admin hierarchy browse dialogs, as well as all 'create element'
dialogs, now start up faster as the database is read as and when the hierarchy is
- 178093 Draw expanded. To support this development element name searches in the browser are
based upon a database name search. Note that the search finds any elements of the
appropriate type with a name containing the search fragment anywhere in the name,
as before. However, searching for elements with a name beginning with a search
fragment is faster and can be performed by prefixing the search text with a forward
slash '/' to indicate this is the start of the name.
Title: Element Selection browser dialogs should hide empty libraries.

Symptoms: Certain browser dialogs targeted at element selection display empty
directories and allow element creation which is inappropriate to the workflow.
- 185795 Draw Solution: Browser dialogs targeted at element selection (as opposed to 'create' or
'picture file open'), now disallow the 'New' option either via the top left hand button
or via right click. In addition, these dialogs will only show hierarchy containing existing
elements of the required search types (this improves performance and allows
elements to be found more easily).

Description
Title: Error presented when using check support in Clasher where the Supports
application is not loaded
- 185520 Supports Symptoms: Error: Aborted !!findSupports.addPickedElement(!this.re turn[1], FALSE)
Previous / Known workaround: Open Support application prior to clashing.
Solution: Fixed.
Title: Exception when setting an ENDATU POSL attribute using the Properties Grid.
Symptoms: Exception experienced on the system attempting to find the plines for the
187619 Everything3D ENDATU.
Previous / Known workaround: Set attribute via the command window.
Solution: Fixed – system checks ENDATU owner for a list of allowed Plines.
Title: Incorrect Isometric for a Pipe containing a PIPCA connection at a TEE where
Hyper Plant is on and weld numbers from Database.
- 186032 IsoDraft Symptoms: Incorrect Isometric for described scenario.
Known workaround: None.
Solution: Fixed.
Title: The default bend selection form does not reload available bending machines.
Symptoms: Available bending machines are not reloaded on opening the default bend
radius form and an error occurs when a wall thickness cannot be obtained.
Previous / Known workaround: Restart E3D to reload the bending machines but no
- 187009 Piping workaround for described wall thickness error.
Solution: Fixed - the form now reloads the available bending machines each time the
form is opened. The form also handles the case where a wall thickness cannot be
obtained.
Title: Updated Samples.zip omitted from E3D 2.1 install.

Symptoms: As described.
- 187013 Everything3D
Solution: Fixed – updated Sample.zip delivered with fix release.
Title: Creating a SYTM under a VSI Template causes an Error Message.
Symptoms: The error only occurs if the VSI Library is created using the right-click
83881 178524 Draw menu option rather than clicking the 'create' button.
Previous / Known workaround: Utilise the ‘create’ button to create the VSI Library.
Solution: Fixed – no error received.
Title: Intelligent Text - unable to open a bracket directly after a closing bracket.
Symptoms: Unable to open a bracket directly after a closing bracket
61674 112168 Draw Previous / Known workaround: Insert and then remove a <space> between bracket
characters.
Solution: Fixed.
Title: Compound joints (SCTN > SNOD > SCOJ > SUBJ) are omitted during SCTN to
GENSEC conversion
- 181832 Structures Symptoms: As described above.
Solution: Fixed.
Title: Location of a View on a RSO cannot be changed.

Symptoms: After creating a view in an RSO plane, if the view is copied, the location in
86862 185278 Draw the Properties Grid cannot be changed to another RSO location.
Solution: Fixed - it is now possible to change Location definition.
Title: Revision Form - unable to expand Text Column.

Symptoms: Unable to expand the Rev By Text field.
- 190049 Draw
Solution: Fixed - all columns can now be resized as required.

Exceptions – Significant Defects and Recommended Workarounds

AVEVA intends to fix the defects listed below in a fix release or service pack as soon as reasonably possible.
 AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface (TFS-196401). Substitute symbols (question mark) are visible in AVEVA
Bocad where Unicode characters are used in the project header or user data. In order to exchange
Unicode characters in AVEVA Bocad Steel files, a user may edit the BocadUni.map file to replace
ENCODING:ASCII to ENCODING:UTF8BOM.
 AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface (TFS-196700). GENSECs with a Spec Ref including special UTF8 Characters
are not mapped (import or export). The issue principally concerns the provided Russian Standard where
the mapping file requires further amendment.
 AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface (TFS-196909). The Chinese mapping file requires further amendment to
correct profiles with CatRef CH_WT_S3_WG and to address the incorrectly mapped diameter for Bocad
profiles in the following series: CH_ST_S1_WG, CH_ST_S2_WG, CH_ST_S3_WG, CH_WT_S1_WG and
CH_WT_S3_WG.
 Pipe Fabrication utilities are not included in the first release of AVEVA E3D 2.1.0. Functions linked to
Pipe Fabrication are displayed in the user interface but are greyed out.
 Laser. The Box and Cylinder primitives (only) are fully compatible with the Highlight and Mask laser data
features. The Box primitive (only) is fully compatible with the forming of a Demolition package volume.
 Supports (TFS-183921). It is not currently possible to set the Support joint justification to a Pline of the
Column.
 3D View Selection (TFS-174778). Pipes with no component cannot be selected via a window selection in
the 3D View.

 Install (TFS-186636). AVEVA E3D 2.1 currently does not support a Project installed on a Windows 8.1 D:\
partition where the file path contains spaces. The issue is linked to the install of AVEVA E3D 2.1 to a
volume with 8dot3naming disabled referencing projects installed to a volume with 8dot3naming
enabled. An installation error is presented on first running AVEVA E3D 2.1 and on subsequent occasions
the login form is presented but without Project tiles for selection.
Interoperability with AVEVA PDMS / Hull & Outfitting 12.1.SP4.

 Hull Projects. Spaces in Project pathnames should be avoided for AVEVA Marine (Hull) 12.1.SP4 data
being used within AVEVA E3D 2.1.
 AVEVA Global. All extract database FLUSH and ISSUE commands must be undertaken from within
AVEVA E3D 2.1 when accessing a globalised project with both AVEVA PDMS / Hull & Outfitting 12.1.SP4
and AVEVA E3D 2.1.
For the latest list of exceptions and other updates, please see the Product Release Latest Update Note on
AVEVA's support web site http://downloads.aveva.com/52486/w52486.pdf.
