Question about how to add tube properties to PDMS?
Thread Content
Dear experts, I would like to ask: how can we add the designer, reviewer, approver of the tube in PDMS, as well as the version number of the drawing, so that they are displayed in the title bar of the single-line diagram generated using PDMS?
It is possible to customize the pipe properties; then, when generating ISO drawings, you can modify the configuration file by adding custom attributes to specify the coordinates. This way, the requirements will be automatically met during drawing. Of course, it is necessary to adjust the new custom attributes for each pipe, and this is quite simple – the PML program can be used to assign values in bulk.
Oh, it seems that adding pipe attributes can also be achieved by using the report import method, but I don’t know how to export and import reports. I would appreciate it if experts could give me some guidance. Thank you! :)
Reports in PDMS allow for batch modification of attributes. However, PDMS does not provide attributes for names such as designer, reviewer, and approver; therefore, custom attributes are needed. If these roles are unique to each individual, it is recommended to use ISO frames for them
Just master the text formatting and the operators needed for attribute assignment!
The designer, reviewer, and approver have been included in the ISO template, but it’s not possible to export or import reports; it seems this topic isn’t covered in the PDMS training materials! Could the experts please explain in more detail? Thank you!
As a supplementary note, the ISO title bar requires the designer, reviewer, and approver for each pipeline to be specified; these need to be entered in bulk. I would like to use report import to do this, but I don’t know how to proceed with the import!
