Intelligent P&ID software – AVEVA Diagrams for creating drawing templates【Produced by Tuwa Software】

Thread Content

AVEVA Diagrams allows for the definition of company-level and project-level drawing templates for different projects, including drawing frames and corner stamps. It not only **saves designers’ time, but also ensures the consistency and standardization of the final drawings. Next, we will introduce how to customize drawing templates in Diagrams, giving you a preliminary overview of this feature in Diagrams. 1. Create a template frame: Create a new template by going to Project->New->NewDiagrams->No template->Save as type:(SCTEMP); select the paper size required for the project in the page dimensions, and adjust the page properties to use a background. Create project frames and corner stamps in CAD, import the DWG files into Diagrams, create a new page as the foreground page, select an appropriate background, and save it – thus obtaining the desired project template frame. 2. Background usage: AVEVA Diagrams allows multiple backgrounds to be used on a single drawing. During the drawing process, existing CAD drawings can be imported using the methods mentioned earlier, and the page of the current drawing can be selected in the page properties as the background. Therefore, the project frame can be used as Background 1, and the reference drawings can be used as Background 2. By using the reference drawings as a base, it becomes possible to plan the layout of the drawings more directly when creating diagrams, thereby improving drawing efficiency and making the diagrams look more attractive.
