CREATE A NEW FRAME

CONFIGURATION FOR FT09
E3D - SUPPORTS
Create a new Framework Configuration
./..
E3D - SUPPORTS
Below the rules applied to the frame configuration domains
E3D - SUPPORTS
The framework configurations are stored in hierarchy with a root
element that is an APPLDW: its purpose must be MDST
E3D - SUPPORTS
Step 0: detect frame library
E3D - SUPPORTS
Step 1: create the new configuration by copy-paste-rename all

E3D - SUPPORTS

Step 1: below the FSMW element create a box to make visible
the origin of the frame
NB:
Q :MDSOLAP
Q :MDSONUM
Sono degli pseudoattributi delle GENSEC e delle SCTN per determinare come e qunto vogliamo che
sporgano da altri elementi:
:MDSOLAP = OVERLAP (Sporge verso il basso)
:MDSOLAP = FLUSH (Sporge verso L'ALTO)
:MDSONUM = Numero di millimetri che vogliamo che sporga
E3D - SUPPORTS
Step 3: find the spec name of the cross bar and of the vertical bar
of the sections we want to use. In this case it is used the profile that has
the spref /EU-UPN100 for the horizontal and /EU-UPN80 for the vertical bars
- each profile must change its spref to the above

- once the profile has been changed it is necessary to rearrange
the posizion of each profile
E3D - SUPPORTS
Step 4: give the èproper description at the STRU element
- each profile must change its spref to the obove

- once the profile has been changed it is necessary to rearrange
the posizion of each profile
E3D - SUPPORTS
Step 5: change the description of the new STRU level

E3D - SUPPORTS

Step 6: test if the new configuration is working properly
NB: le STRU dei supporti hanno degli pseudo attributi da impostare per stabilire il range per cui è possibile
utilizzare il supporto:
:MDSMaxBore - Stabilisce il massimo DN per cui è possibile utilizzare il supporto
:MDSMinBore - Stabilisce il massimo DN per cui è possibile utilizzare il supporto
:MDSRange - Stabilisce il range dei DN che è possibile scegliere negli PSEUDOATTRIBUTI precedenti
E3D - SUPPORTS
Create a new Framework for Special Configuration

All the framework for special configuration are underneef an APPLWD
Type: its purpose is MDSS
E3D - SUPPORTS
Può capitare, all'aggiunta di nuove STRU che non vengano aggiornate le spcifiche dei supporti e quindi il
software non rende disponibile la STRU desiderata.
In questo caso, creare le SCOM e gli SPCO relativi al supporto qui:
Catalogo: /MDS-Standard-Supports
Specifica: /MDF-Structures
CREATE A NEW SPECIAL FRAME

E3D - SUPPORTS

To create a new special configuration:
1) Copy paste an existing configuration

2) Rename the new configuration following the same naming
3) Modify the configuration as needed
4) Change the STRU description
5) Test that it is working

LOCATION PLAN
E3D - SUPPORTS
Location Plan
The location Plan is a functionality to obtain a view with the

Position of the support related to a tag and to some grid lines
The location Plan is managed by a function given to one of the
view of the drawing. In the std drawing support template:
- /MDS-ABA-3-VIEWS(METRIC)
the view used for the location is:
- /MDS-ABA-3-VIEWS(METRIC)/S1/V1
The view has the title:
- Title ‘MDS ABA 3 Views - Location Plan’ ./..

E3D - SUPPORTS
Location Plan
The View has some taks enable to it and one of them is:
- PMLFunction mdsAbaLocPlanRefGrd
./..
E3D - SUPPORTS
Location Plan
The Function searches the all The GRIDFA that has the owner
With the purpose set to PLNT :
./..
E3D - SUPPORTS

And uses the grid lines that are closest to the Datum ancillary,
Below the pml command code lines collection of the all the grids :

Define Support changeable fields

To be used in model
E3D - SUPPORTS
Define support Picture step
1) Create a suitable picture file to represent the support
2) The support picture are in file

supportConfiguration.xml
3) The file is managed by the program

dimensionControlDesigner.exe
4) The xml file is located by the environment variable

MDS_SUPPORT_CONFIG_LOCATION
5) Before to do any change save the xml file

E3D - SUPPORTS
Define Fields to change Support parameters
In file supportConfiguration.xml define all fields necessary

to change the changeable parameters by the executable
program dimensionControlDesigner.exe

NB: nell'EVARS.init* (che si trova in:C:\Program Files (x86)\AVEVA\Everything3D2.10) va aggiunta la

stringa della posizione del file "SupportConfiguration.xml" che andrebbe copiato all'interno di ogni progetto
che necessita di impostazioni personalizzate insieme alle immagini dei supporti nuovi. ES: creando una cartella "support" dentro alla
cartella del progetto PDMS.
* In Evars.init mettere in REM le stringhe relative a posizioni superate del SupportConfiguration.xml
REM set MDS_SUPPORT_CONFIG_LOCATION=%aveva_design_installed_dir%
E lasciare in SET la stringa relativa della posizione del progetto su cui si sta lavorando
set MDS_SUPPORT_CONFIG_LOCATION=\\CE-FS-01.sintecnica.internal\AVEVA\Progetti\PEG\HFY\Support

Define Support Naming

E3D - SUPPORTS
MDS Support Names
The support application is using a ZONE to store the placed supports,

Both for the structures and the ancillaries. All the zone used by the
Support application must have the purpose set to SUPP
./..
E3D - SUPPORTS
MDS Support Names
The Zones has also the hidden attribute :MDSAutofile which points
To a text file establishing the support naming
./..
E3D - SUPPORTS
MDS Support Names
The naming file must be in the dflts directory of the project
./..
E3D - SUPPORTS
