CHAPTER 1
1 Introduction
AVEVA Everything3D (AVEVA E3D ) allows designers to utilise an array of applications contained within
the program modules. This training guide provides discipline specific training for the Draw module.
Draw is the AVEVA Everything3D drawing production module where drawings are populated with information
taken directly from the Design or Drawing Databases. The associated intelligence with the Design database
ensures the drawing accurately reflects the intended design and updates automatically to reflect any changes
to the model.
This training course is designed for Draw Administrators to understand the basics in administering project
drawing production using AVEVA E3D Draw.
1.1 Aim
The aim of the training guide is to provide Draw Administrators with the knowledge and skills necessary to
customise the Draw working environment; enabling users to create, dimension and annotate detailed
engineering drawings from existing Model data using AVEVA E3D Draw functions and tools.
1.2 Objectives
In general terms, the course objectives are to provide participants with the following:
Familiarisation of the AVEVA E3D Draw User Interface.
To understand the different types of administrative libraries.
To be able to create and edit standard libraries.
To be able to create and edit symbolic and general labels.
To be able to create and edit backing sheets.
To be able to create and edit representation rule sets.
To be able to create and edit change highlighting rules.
To be able to configure and customise Automatic Drawing Production.

CHAPTER 2
2 Draw Overview & Workflow
The following chapter describes the Draw workflow in general terms, together with expected training outputs
i.e. a discipline specific annotated and dimensioned drawing.
The Training workflow will follow the administrative workflow in creating the necessary ‘ingredients’ for Drawing
production i.e. Backing Sheet creation through to Representation and Styles that may be utilised.
The Drawing image presented at each workflow stage illustrates how each administrative task may be
reflected in the final produced drawing.
2.1 Overview
Draw has been designed to allow the user to generate and retrieve industry standard engineering drawings
efficiently. This has been achieved through an intuitive user interface and the following features.
The drawing can be formed by multiple views of differing orientation and scope directly from the 3D
model. In addition, the representation of the drawing graphics may be controlled by representation
rules that are pre-defined by the project administrator.
View clarity is aided by various levels of view types and through the use of view sections.
The scale of the drawing can be selected from a set of Metric, Architectural and Engineering values.
A label can be attached to any model element and used to display the attributes of the identified
element. In turn, the format, content and appearance of the labels are controlled by the designer or
through a predefined Visual Style. Direct reference to the design data, combined with a simple update
operation, ensures that the annotation always reflects the current state of the 3D model.
The ability to employ Autotagging is an efficient solution for automatically generating labels to a
defined tagging rule. The rule determines labelled design items and label representation.
A dimension is calculated directly from the 3D model. As with label annotation, format, content and
appearance are controlled by the designer or through a predefined Visual Style. Direct reference to
the design data, combined with a simple update operation, ensures that the annotation always
reflects the current state of the 3D model.
2D drawing and defined, scaled drawing Regions allow the designer to generate accurate 2D
annotation and drawings within the Sheet.
Drawing management is achieved through revision and status control, and is further aided by tools
such as annotation reference checking.

13
2.2 Draw Workflow
Create Reference Drawlists
Drawlist Libraries (DLLB) contain a group of Drawlists (IDLI or ID Lists) which allow
users to create lists of design elements to be drawn or sectioned.
The DLLBs and IDLIs can be assigned to design items according to design disciplines,
project areas, or any other classifications appropriate to specific working practices.
Drawlist creation is regarded as the first administrative task in the training due to
drawlist requirement for overlay / Keyplan creation.
Refer to Chapter 5 for information on Drawlist Library creation.
Create Sheet Library: Backing Sheet & Overlay
A key task for the AVEVA E3D Draw Administrator is to set up Sheet Libraries
(SHLB) containing the Backing Sheets (BACK) and Overlay Sheets (OVER). These
sheet libraries will be referenced by the general user on creation of Drawings and
Views.
Refer to Chapter 6 for information on the creation of Sheet Libraries.

Create Symbol Library
Symbol Libraries (SYLB) contain the Symbol Templates (SYTM) from which users
can select 2D symbols to add to their drawings. Each SYTM may comprise any
combination of 2D primitives, text primitives (TEXP) and existing symbol instances
(SYMB).
Refer to Chapter 8 for information on Symbol Library creation and Chapter 9 for
information on 2D Symbolic Representation of elements.
Create Label Library

A key administrative task is to set up Label Libraries (LALB) containing the Symbol
Templates (SYTM) and Text Templates (TXTM) from which users can create
symbolic (SLAB) or general (GLAB) labels respectively.
Refer to Chapter 10 for information on the creation of Label Libraries.
Create Tag Rules
Tag rules determine which items will be tagged in the View graphics, enabled by the
Administrator defining Tag Rule Sets (TRST) and Tag Rules (TAGR) within Tag Rule
Libraries (TRLB). When accessed during normal AVEVA E3D Draw drawing
operations, each TAGR references a Tagging Template; this may be either a SYTM
or a TXTM.
Refer to Chapter 11 for information on the creation of Tag Rules.
Visual Styles
A Visual Style contains pre-set representation properties for the Draw elements View,
Text, Label and Dimension. An element adopts a Visual Style either through definition
on creation or by modification.
The use of a Visual Style ensures the consistency of View creation within the Sheet
and across a series of Drawings. The properties of the Visual Style are determined by
the Draw Administrator and any further alterations to the View Visual Style are
reflected in each instance the style has been referenced.
Refer to Chapter 12 for information on the creation of Visual Styles.

Create Style Library & Representation Rules
It is required of the AVEVA E3D Draw Administrator to set up Styles (STYL) within
Representation Libraries (RPLB); these define the detailed representation the
general user will use for various aspects of the drawing. These styles are associated
with the Drawing through the following:
Representation Rulesets (RRST) and Representation Rules (RRUL)
Hatching Rule Sets (HRST) and Hatching Rules (HRUL)
Refer to Chapters 13 & 14 for information on the creation of Style Libraries and
Representation Rules.
Database Update Administration
There are occasions when the AVEVA E3D Draw database is required to be updated
specifically, as opposed to the routine updating that occurs from time to time in normal
use.
Refer to Chapter 15 for information on Database Update Administration.

Printing & Plotting Administration
The Administrator has the ability to a control the representation of a print and export
output through the use of Plot Styles.
Refer to Chapter 16 for information on Printing & Plotting Administration.

CHAPTER 3
3 Draw User Interface
The Draw module allows a designer to generate fully annotated engineering drawings directly from design
data formed in the Model module. There are a number of facilities in the Draw application that may be used
to create and modify drawings; aided by a user interface and concepts unique to Draw.
The sections that follow consider the Draw User Interface and key concepts in greater detail.
3.1 Draw Hierarchy
The Draw User Interface and drawing production workflows are underpinned by a database hierarchy. While
the user has little requirement to refer to the hierarchy during drawing creation, it is important to consider that
the hierarchical organisation of data allows the logical creation of drawings and sheets.
The hierarchy has been simplified to give clarity to the basic arrangement.
As with all AVEVA E3D databases, the uppermost element in the Draw hierarchy is the World; represented
symbolically as /*.
Before physical drawing elements can be created (Sheets (SHEE), Views (VIEW) and Regions (REGN)) a
number of administrative data hierarchy elements must exist. The administrative elements Department
(DEPT), Registry (REGI) and Drawing (DRWG) divide the project into structured areas for drawing creation.
Libraries (LIBY) are flexible in their hierarchical position and are used for the storage of project or company
specific defaults and Draw elements.
3.2 User Interface Overview
The Draw application is formed by the following interface components.
Microsoft® Office Fluent -based User Interface
The interface presents Draw functions and utilities via a series of general and context specific tabs.
Draw Canvas
The principal window in the application, this area is used to view, create and modify Drawing Sheets.
The canvas may be tabbed to aid the navigation of multiple drawings.

19
Status Bar
At the base of the application window, this area displays the current position and scale in the Draw
Canvas with respect to the current owner and is used for the toggling of Draw Canvas settings such
as Object Snap and Grid visibility.
Active Properties & Properties Grid
Two grids used to set, view and modify the common properties of Draw elements.
3.3 Project Menu & Tabs
Draw utilises a Microsoft® Office Fluent -based user interface with a series of tabs displayed at the top
of the application window. When the module is opened, the HOME tab is initially displayed.
General tabs group similar tasks such as annotation and update functions together for intuitive selection by
the user. Context tabs are specific to the function being used, such as labelling or view modification, and are
presented on instigating the command then dismissed on completion of the task.
General Tabs Context Tabs
Tab contents may be hidden by clicking the tab title or by selecting the Minimize the Ribbon option from
the prompted right-click menu in the tab.

Within the presented tabs, key functions are held in

Groups.
Group
Specific functions are summoned by clicking the appropriate button in each group.
Some buttons are segmented, allowing a number of

functions to reside under one button. Where this is the
case, clicking the upper section of the button will select
the default command associated with the button. Clicking
the lower section of the button will reveal an options list.
Once the options list is open the user can select the
appropriate button within the list to prompt the required
function or form.
Specific functions relating to the Draw application tabs are explained throughout this training guide.
Where trainees are directed to select specific functions the instruction will usually follow the format
Tab > Group > Button > Secondary Button (if required).
Shortcut keys may also be used for application and module commands, for example Save Work (Ctrl+S),
Get Work (Ctrl+G), Print (Ctrl+P) and Help (F1).
Refer to Appendix B Draw Keyboard Commands for a complete table highlighting common keyboard
commands that be may be utilised to invoke Draw functions.
Project Menu
The Project menu provides access to a number of key commands and facilities
including the common AVEVA E3D commands Save Work, Get Work, Help,
Modules and Exit.
With the exception of Modules, the Project menu commands may be selected via buttons in the Quick
Access Toolbar / Tab menu bar.

Users may add functions to the Quick Access Toolbar by

right clicking on a button and selecting the Add to Quick
