I need to review all PDMS attributes in PDMS review. I think, I need to use Dump Attributes command. My review contains many sites.. Do I need to dump attributes site by site? Appreciate if some of you can share some experience. Also, how do we check these attributes in Review?
Is it possible to AutoTag all components in Review with user defined rule. For example I want to AutoTag all Pipes with PipeName, Pspec and HeadBore? And equiment with Equipment Number and Description!!
You can do it a number of ways. The best way that i have found to do it is to create the following Macro input:
export file /C:\PDMSuser\xxxxx.rvm OVER
export holes on
repre leve 6
repre leve pipe 6
repre leve nozz 6
repre leve stru 6
export implied tube into separate containers
export all STRU with match (name of ZONE, 'xxxxxxx') eq 2 col 2
export all EQUI with match (name of ZONE, 'xxxxxxx') eq 2 col 2
export all PIPE with (MATCHW(name,'/xxx*') AND name of ZONE EQ'/xxxxxx') col 8
export finish
I went over the heiracry in our model and created a line for every STRU (SITE,ZONE etc) its time consumming however if you make all STRU col 2 etc the same and the same for PIPE EQUI. once you come to apply materials you will just have to edit the colour material.
also braking it done helps to mange colour to you can miss out any study areas etc or give them a different colours so you can see it easily to remove it.
Have you replied on correct location? The reply doesn't relate with the query!!
By the way, I've already developed a macro to dump the attribute details to a file compatible with DataViewer Application of Review. This seems to be the best way to go, as dataviewer offers some additional functionalities too!!
I have used this in the past and yes, the dataviewer is a good way of doing this. What you need to do is make a report in design with file extension .txt
The Report selection must be PIPE, in the Hierarchy set the appropriate SITE(s) or ZONE(s) and create a few columns with the appropriate data attributes.
First Column must be Pipename!
Save this file somewhere on your network.
Open review, and load your model files.
Than under A[/U]ddins you must click on DataViewer.
A new window opens and in here you must choose the option Load Data from File... (I dont have experience with Load Data from Database...)
You will now see a list loaded with pipename and all the attributes behind.
You can Right mouse click on one of the names and navigate to that pipe...
In the newer versions it's maybe even possible to have the pipe highlighted in the list when you navigate in the model.
thank you for your effort.
but it seems to be , it is only for pipe attribute what about the equip,structure,......etc
also i need one file for pdms attribute but for many site and to be compatible with naviswork
Did you try it?
This also works for Equipment, structures, whatever you really want....
The Report Selection for Equipment should be EQUI in that case, for Structures it should be STRU, and so on....
I dont know anything regarding NavisWork....
A[/U]ddins you must click on DataViewer.
