2 Introduction
Chaos - continuation is an in-depth course in level two and three of the Chaos training.
This document is designed to be in support of classroom training "Chaos - continued" and to assist in the work of Chaos and the design. The
documentation lists the selected torque yesterday in training and will serve as support for both teachers and students.
To get the most out of the training is recommended that participants have looked through the documentation for the training.
The documentation is lost even sections that are not covered in the training, these sections are marked with the symbol ¤.
3 Conditions
The training requires good local is the opportunity for participants to sit comfortably with access to each computer and good eye on projection
and trainers. Education registrars stands for local, computers and projectors are available. Education Computers must have connection to the
servers of Chaos, and have programs that Chaos and AutoCAD installed.
The program requires that participants have undergone Transport Administration e-learning "Basics of Chaos" or equivalent and have a basic
understanding of, inter alia, points below. It is also assumed that participants have basic computer skills such as moving and copying files,
rename files, navigate folder structures, launch and manage common applications like MS Word, Notepad, etc..
It is also desirable that the participants already account for Chaos and install the system on your work computer, although this is not
required for the training.
TRAINING 6 (55)
Case 4
The goal of this training is to supply to the Chaos to maintain a high qualitative level. This refers both to the scope of supply and the quality
of its content.
Those who deliver documents to the Chaos should have a good knowledge of the Swedish Transport Administration's requirements for the documentation

Chaos purpose is to create order, keeping track of document versions and deliveries, making documents and information searchable and
allow reuse of the information produced in the project or in a previous stage.
Since 2009 is the requirement that all Transport Administration's road projects will be reported in the Chaos. It is then the product itself, for
example, an FU with drawing material and technical descriptions, etc. pursued.
5.3.2 Versions
In Chaos erased any documents, nor is it possible to change, overwrite or falsify any documents. If changes must be retrieved because the
documents down to the local computer where the changes are made, revisions must be approved according to established procedures, and
then send the document again to Chaos. In this mode, a new version of the document in Chaos, while older versions are still there. It is thus
always to follow the changes made in a given document.
Because there may be multiple versions of a document, it is important to make sure it is the correct version to pick the bottom.
The picture shows how seemingly the same document are in two different folders, but in fact they point to two different versions of the
document.
It is important to know that no documents are physically located in the folder structure, what is there is only shortcuts to documents. This
means that if you copy a document from one place in the structure is no copy of the document, only a new shortcut is created. Similarly, do
not disappear a document from Chaos to its shortcut in the folder structure is deleted, the only way to find the document disappears.
5.5 Job
A job in Chaos is a way of holding together multiple files to be managed as a unit, for example, for transmission, plotting and drafting of a
report. The most common use for the job is to collect and submit documents.
When a job is created, the user must state the project (eg. The construction) job belongs and a description of the job purpose and / or
content.
For more information about creating and downloading jobs, refer to the e-course "Basics of Chaos".
The simplest way to compile multiple jobs to one is to first create a job in the usual way. Then use the "Search" to search out the documents
included in the other jobs.
In the "Job ID" is filled deljobbets unique ID and the search starts with "search". The files found are checked in the list and in the Find menu,
or right-click menu, select "On job". Then, the documents of the next subjobs be searched in the same way and added to the job.
This chapter goes through the basic steps needed to deliver files to Chaos. This is enough for the full delivery of text documents, for the
delivery of drawings and CAD files are more parameters to consider, see diagram 0.
Although the technical classification is used for naming documents and product components. The technical division is predetermined lists
that are specified TDOK 2012: 37 Metadata for digital project management Road. Local deviations may occur and therefore should always
project Tmall 0405 followed.
For more information about the geographic and technical divisions see TDOK 2012: 37 Metadata for digital project management Road.
In the rest of this document, the Object Specific guidance for digital project, Tmall 0405 mentioned as Tmall 0405th
Tmall 0405 addresses project-specific requirements and procedures regarding records management and is important for the
implementation of the mandate, and to find and reuse the information at a later stage. In Tmall 0405 for information on who is responsible
for the document, the file format is approved, the coordinate system to be used, rules and procedures of naming and metadata, etc.
To get a Tmall 0405 to be used and applied in the mission should be as simple and small as possible. Repeating information from other
documents already in force in the commission gives a heavy Tmall 0405 no one wants to take part of. The tutorial will just be a tutorial to
quickly and easily get started and be able to draw up documents in accordance with applicable requirements. Depressions may be made by
some of the other documents included in the commission.
Tmall 0405 live throughout the mission and will be adapted and updated after the needs that arise. Changes must be approved by the
client's computer coordinator.
TRAINING 11 (55)
6.3 Naming
Naming Convention for the different document types are built up by using the names of technical and geographical division as shown
below. Specific indications for the item shown in the Tmall 0405th
Filename for the established document should always include a total of eight characters.
Signs must not be removed. Filename of texts and PDFs can be supplemented with more characters, eg descriptive text as long as the first 8
characters follow the naming convention. When files of description text in the file name is entered in the Chaos scaled the description off, so
when the files to be downloaded, they will have filenames as naming convention.
NOTE! Descriptive text in filenames are not applicable for the drawing definitions or models as this would destroy the warehouse and
links to referenced files.
Serial number of the naming convention is intended to use to give the document a unique serial number to be maintained throughout the
project. Serial number is unique within each area of technology and technical systems.
6.4 Metadata
For all of the documents supplied, so-called metadata attached.
Metadata consists of a number of Swedish Transport Administration developed, names (attributes) that is used to describe the contents of
the file and document management information and history. Which attributes
TRAINING 12 (55)
must be filled out upon delivery seen in TDOK 2012: 37 Metadata for digital project management Road. Any deviation from the publications and
other additions shown in the Tmall 0405 metadata file is saved as text in Unix format (ASCII). The example below shows extracts from the
metadata for a drawing. From Chaos version 4.2 and autumn of 2014, there are two different metadata sets, this is due. New name box
developed.
Metadata can be created manually through the text editor, with external software designed for document or directly into Chaos. Drawing
definitions provides the Swedish Road Administration features, customized for AutoCAD, which can be used to create and manage metadata,
more on that in Part 3 of the program.
Metadata is bound to a document by providing the text file the same name as the document, but with the addition of ".md" at the end of the
file name. When creating metadata files are called distinct metadata used. This means that the file type of the document (eg ".DWG" or ".pdf")
are included in metadatafilens names, metadata file, then double file extensions ( ".DWG.md" or ".PDF.md"). This allows different metadata
can be specified for the working documents and frozen documents.
Example:
Drawing Definition Meta Data File Drawing meta Data File
100W5116.DWG 100W5116.DWG.MD 100W5116.PDF 100W5116.PDF.MD
Metadata is used to display detailed information about the document without the need to open the first, and to search for documents with
some information.

• Scope of delivery.
What documents and file types to be delivered continuously during the mission and which must be submitted at the end of the
documentation?
• Routines.
What procedures must be developed / used to secure the good conduct?
6.6 Scope
In each delivery to Chaos, it must be supplied with a list of delivered documents.
In each delivery of BIM projects, it shall accompany the RFA - Tmall 0403rd
Depending on the stage, the scope of the document types for delivery vary. Scope clear from Tmall 0405th
All document types are supplied with associated metadata. For drawing definitions CAD delivered associated control files.
In the CAD design, the following types of drawing documents delivered: Plottfil + md
For text documents supplied both the live working document (such as .docx) and a frozen version of the working document (PDF).
6.7 Delivery
Delivery to Chaos can be done in several ways. What should be chosen depends on the delivery content and scope.
Common to all deliveries of Chaos is that they are made through the job. Regardless of the method used for the delivery can be paused, eg if
problems are discovered with certain files or if it's getting too late in the day. The user can start a delivery and add the documents to be
supplied and leave the Chaos to later add more documents. This can be repeated until the job is delivered to the Chaos, more on this below,
then the job will be locked and no changes can be made in it. It is also possible to have multiple jobs simultaneously active.
For selected documents to be transferred to the Chaos must supply complete, see below. The user can confirm that the delivery is completed
by checking the job status "Locked".
TRAINING 14 (55)
New jobs are created with the "New" in the Job and projects and an appropriate description of the work specified in the dialog box that
opens.
The button "Add" start dialogue to select the files to be submitted to the object.
It is possible to filter the files displayed in the "Files" by selecting the desired file type in the list that are in the field.
A common source of error is that the filters remain when other types of files retrieved from another structure. This may cause some files
not shown.
From the "Files" added the files to be delivered to the "Files for Jobs" by using the following keys.
"Add all files". Adds all files that appear in the "Files".
"Unmark". Removes the selected file from the "Files for Jobs".
"Sort list". Sorts the added files consecutively. "All". Adds all documents with the file
type selected in the list of file type (see description above). Function starts from the
selected folder in the folder structure and looking down into the structure in all
subdirectories.
The files to be delivered are looked up and added to the job as described above, when all the files added to end the dialogue with OK.
In this situation there is a job with documents planned to leave the Chaos, nothing is yet delivered. Chaos can be terminated and the job can
be completed another day with more documents to be included in the delivery by the user again, click on the button "Add" in the "Jobs", may
have to work first sought out.
If the document incorrectly added to the job he is them removed by pressing [Delete] on the keyboard, or by right-clicking on the
document in the job and choose "Remove from the job."
When the job is complete, the transmission begins with the Leave button, and a report on what is included in the delivery is shown.
TRAINING 16 (55)
The report will be checked to ensure that no manifest error can be discerned. If errors are detected, these must be corrected before delivery
continues, discontinue if so by clicking the Cancel button or the cross in the upper right corner of the report window. After the error has been
fixed to resume delivery by the "Leave" in the "Jobs" once clicked.
It is possible to read the documents in the time of delivery by checking the box "Lock documents". To change the access group for the
documents in the delivery set the required group membership from the list "Group".
A new feature from version 4.2 of Chaos, the fall of 2014, is that the documents can be requested that they should be accepted before being assigned
to other users. This can be used so that the Transport Administration can review the documents before anyone else can enjoy them.
If the report looks good confirm the button "Leave the job" is clicked, then begins the transfer to Chaos.
Upon completion of the transfer opened a local log that shows the progress of the transfer. Read more about the local log and messages
later in this chapter.
When the log is closed, check that the job given the status "Locked" if it did not have anything going wrong and must be corrected.
Delivery Assistant is started by clicking on the button with the wand in the "Jobs" or via
main menu "Jobs".
In the first dialogue, a description of the job set and the job is assigned to a project and a security restricted area, then clicked
"Next".
TRAINING 18 (55)
In the dialogue "Select Files" selected files to be delivered. Selected files appear in the list in the next dialog "Select Files"
If the option "Yes" is selected, the Chaos trying to find a drawing definition that belong to the drawing, and all model files
that are attached to drawing the definition of external references. The conditions for this to work is to:
1st Control file for external references (.XR) is created according to the Administration's requirements.
"Finish" button is used to create a job for delivery "Cancel" button is used to cancel the delivery without
jobs.
When "Finish" is clicked, the job of Chaos created and ready to be delivered, the report "Confirm drop off the job" opens and from here runs
the procedure under "Delivery of the" New "" above.
Again, the delivery can be paused by the "Confirm drop off the job" closed without the "Leave the job" is clicked. The delivery may be later
resumed by using "Add" and "Leave" in the job window. The delivery is not completed bow button "Leave the job" is clicked and the
function successfully completed.
Open an explorer on your computer and select the files to be delivered to the Chaos, the files pulled from the explorer and dropped
anywhere in the program Chaos. When this is done is created a job and an assistant (wizard) guides the user on. See section "Delivery for
delivery assistant" above.
Because it always creates a new job when the document is drawn into the Chaos in this way, you can not use the method to complete the
job started. To complement existing jobs are therefore the "Add".
Naming Assistant only works in the Chaos object where the function is activated. This can only be done by an administrator, usually the
project appointed data coordinators.
TRAINING 20 (55)
If naming assistant is activated in the object started this automatically if a user tries to deliver a text document that is named as the object
name standards. Assistant only works in combination with delivery assistant (the button with the wand or drag and drop) and will not work
with the add button.
Ex.
The delivery is started by two text documents (printer-friendly version (PDF) and working version (DOCX)) with different technical affiliation
pulled over to Chaos, it will start shipping the assistant.
The files are not proper names attached appear in the west field and set the naming by moving them to the right field
If something has gone wrong in the transfer are also displayed this.
The log shows in detail each document transmitted by date, type of transfer (pick up or drop), the name and status of the transfer and
whether folders created during the transfer of documents downloaded by users.
On the "Complete" appears all the steps that the user has gone through with warnings and all. This complete log is also saved with
the job and can later be developed, using the menu Jobs -> Reporting> View submit jobs report ...
Unless local log is shown after a transfer means that all the work is not transferred correctly. The job must be transferred again.
TRAINING 22 (55)
Examples of error;
leaves Shows that the file submitted to the Chaos.
The version is already The dating of the file in the job is the same as that found on the file for the latest applicable version
of Chaos (leave) or on local storage (download). Chaos only make a note of this, no files are
transferred as the exact same file already exists.
Most error messages are clearly described and understandable, but it is uncertain what can the client's datasordnare help interpret and
come up with suggestions.
The most important thing is to check the last line, the final log, and see that the status is OK (marked with -). If the status is "-" have the whole
list is checked to see which files did not pass (marked with "-") and why.
TRAINING 23 (55)
6.8.2 structure
Folder structure is built up manually (or by importing actual structures) and adapted to the object. Different structures are available in
various items, such as they have different redovisningsskedena different needs, also plays the object's size and the number of companies
involved role in how the structure is built.
Normally created a basic structure, while the object placed in Chaos and managed by the object's data coordinator, an individual
user therefore need not from the foundation to create a structure.
If folders have to be created, this is done by clicking a button "Add on the same level" and "Add to the level" and name them as desired.
Change the folder is done by right-clicking on the folder and select "Rename folder"
Since the "drag and drop" because of quality and safety are not used in Chaos gets another method used to account for the delivered
documents in the folder structure.
TRAINING 24 (55)
Then select the desired document (frozen formats) jobs in delivered. Right-click the document and select "The tree structure". Documents
presented in the structure in this way ports automatically as version locked and pointing out the version of the document that is in the current
job.
Please note that no documents physically transferred to the folder in the same way as in the example Windows explorer. In Chaos
created only shortcuts in the structure that points to merge.
TRAINING 25 (55)
Publishing on the Internet is a feature that allows even people without access to Chaos can access documents in the Chaos. This function
creates a temporary web link to a folder or document in Chaos which can then be opened in a browser.
In the document tree, select a folder or document (only one folder or document can be linked at a time) and right-click
The window displays information about the file to be published. Select a date in "Valid to:" After this date it will no longer be possible to
access the file through the link.
In the "URL" shown the link, click to copy the link to the clipboard, link,
then cut into e.g. an email.
If the link to be closed before the deadline expired, click the "Remove publishing '.
The link can then be used as a hyperlink or copied directly into the browser.
If the link is to a folder, it is possible to cut the folder in the browser to view the content.
5th Enter the metadata according Tmall 0405, sufficient to enter Anläggningsdel1, Description1 and
Description2. Empty revision info.
6th Deliver to Chaos
7th Report the frozen file format structure.
Select the document, right click on the desired version in the version list of the document window, according to the red mark on the image above.
Select "Change Version in the tree structure"
To remove the lock version of a document, right click on the document and select "lock up" version.
The function can also be used on an entire folder with subfolders and documents by right-clicking on the folder and select "Unlock version".
A dialog box opens with the question "Should also subfolders unlocked", please note that this also includes documents. If "No" is selected
update any files in the folder.
To get back the version lock, select the file or folder, right click, select "Lock" version.
• "Updating the lock to the latest version is already locked" - If selected, any version locked documents are updated to point to the
latest version of the document and then locked into this new version.
By right-clicking on a folder and select copy and then right click on a folder and select paste, a complete copy of the folder and subfolders
and documents.
To copy only the folder structure without related documents, can instead right-click the folder and choose "Export tree structure ...".
TRAINING 29 (55)
By choosing the top option "Only folders without the merge will be exported" saves only the folder structure without merge away. The structure
is saved in the file selected in the XML file structure.
It saved the structure can then be imported to another location in the folder structure and can also be imported into other objects.
TRAINING 30 (55)
This example is based on the structure of a new PM, PM3, will be created during the PM2. Since we have exported structure of PM2 can not
select the folder "RevideringsPM" and import PM2 there, PM2 exist already. Therefore, proceed as follows: First, create a new folder, PM3, in
the "RevideringsPM".
Then start the import by right-clicking on the "PM3" and select "Import ..."
The XML file used to export selected and then clicked the "Start import"
A confirmation is displayed, this can be closed. The folder structure now looks as follows.
Note that folder PM2 now under PM3. To arrange this marked the subfolders PM2 and the "<" is used.
TRAINING 31 (55)
The selected folders will be moved up one position in the structure, now the "PM2" removed.
In order to change the metadata of a document, the user must be a member of a group that has write access to the document.
The function is started under "Tools" in the Chaos, the "Import metadata ...".
Metadata for text documents and drawings / models are handled differently, therefore it is necessary to specify the types of documents that
must be updated. If the metadata for both texts and drawings / models be updated must "Plans / models" to be selected when this type of
document is selected and "Texts" must be selected when the text document is selected.
Metadata files to be imported highlighted in the explorer and added to by clicking on "Open".
TRAINING 33 (55)
From here you can then more metadata files added by re-clicking the "Select Files". It is important to remember to first select the metadata
files to be added belongs to drawings / models or text documents.
When all metadata files added clicked "OK" and the metadata is imported for selected files.
6.11 permissions
Permissions in Chaos is controlled at several levels, first of all sought permission to access a particular item in the Chaos. Upon login, a list
of the documents a user has access to, other objects invisible to the user. In each object a number of access groups, often created by the
different companies involved, a user is a member of one or more groups.
Each group is given access to selected areas and projects, the permissions given to the levels Read, Update, Delete and status. All
permissions are managed at group level, not at the individual level.
Drawing materials delivered to the Chaos always belong to a specific sub-area, users can only download files belonging to the areas of their
group has read access, and they can only submit materials to the areas they have write permission.
Text documents are always assigned to a specific project in Chaos and can only be read by those whose group has read access to the
project. For a user to be able to deliver text documents to a project must be one of the groups the user belongs to have write access to the
project.
When a document is delivered to the Chaos must document an ownership group is assigned, only users in the group has the right to add
new versions of the document, regardless of the project and sub-area of competence.
The folder structure is ownership group also for folders, only users who are members of this group have permission to add documents or
create subfolders in this folder.
With the "Prevent transparency" (accessed by right click, properties), you can lock the folder structure so that only those who are members
of the ownership group to see what's in the folder.
Administrators are exempt from the above mentioned rules and always has full access to all folders and documents.
TRAINING 34 (55)
7.1 Design
Model-oriented design will be applied as follows. The design is performed in the drawing models linked to the drawing definitions for
presentation. Drawing models are linked to external references with relative paths.
All files must conform to naming convention and is established with associated metadata and necessary control files.
Next to this is a line drawing of Kav definitions and drawings with respect to the outline, naming, method, etc. These requirements are
described in this chapter.
Each system will be shown in a separate model file in 1: 1 scale and according to the coordinate system specified in the project Tmall
0405th
All external references (models and pictures) to be referenced directly from the drawing definition, no references (attach) may be
between the individual models. Overlay can be used.
To avoid problems with cross-references, and other similar phenomena should attach generally avoided to bind external
references, use instead the option overlay.
The legal document is approved and arrival marked PDF file, unless otherwise agreed in the project.
For the creation of the control files can (and should) AutoCad extension ChaosFunc used. The supplement is available to download from the Finnish Transport
Agency's website.
Control file to store settings (.lx) contains information about all current inventory, eg whether they are on or off, thawed or frozen. Warehouse
files have the same name as the drawing definition they belong, followed by '.lx'. Ex. 100T0201.DWG.lx
Control file for external references (.xr) contains information about the external references that are linked to the drawing definition and how
they are connected. Control file for external references have the same name as the drawing definition they belong, followed by '.xr'. Ex.
100T0201.DWG.xr.
Control files along with ChaosFunc and Chaos makes including that all drawings, drawing definitions and models are always saved in the same
way as the Swedish Transport Administration folder structure, and that the customer can always see the drawings properly without having to
change paths and storage settings, etc.
7.1.4.2 Ritningsram
For drawing the framework applies to Swedish standards
• The frame should preferably be in mm when this includes simplifies printing and automated actions.
• Only a framework should be used for the specific format of the given object. Ex. All drawings in formats A1 used the framework
_A1.DWG.
• The frame should be inserted in the coordinate 0,0,0.
• If several "viewports" used, each viewport to be in its own layer.
TRAINING 36 (55)
7.1.4.3 Outline
The disposition regarding the legend, overview map, the location of the stamps, place for revision lines and names box will follow publication
TDOK 2012: 35 Digital project.
• Ritningsram, name box, shell lines, Fig orientation, instruction texts to be placed in
ritningsdefinitionens layout mode (paperspace), in scale 1: 1.
• Name box should be inserted with the insertion point in the drawing lower right corner.
• Space for the stamp must be reserved above the name box as illustrated above.
• Orientation Figure must be positioned so that the top edge of the highest placed level with the drawing
vikmärke Drawing middle.
• Geographically drawing Slicers / drawing classification should be the same for all subjects.
• Drawing Forms and margins according to the Swedish standard should be used. Text on the documents
to be in Swedish.
• No drawing will be made in the space intended for the Swedish Transport Administration stamps, name box and
revision lines.
The blocks are provided by the Swedish Transport Administration (available as both DWG and DGN) and will be used in the same state
regarding the block name, appearance, attribute names, scale, size and insertion point. Name box and revtag available to download from
the side http://www.trafikverket.se/for-dig-ibranschen/teknik/anlaggningsteknik/digital-projekthantering-och-bim/Ovriga-och-styrandetillbehor/
.
The block must have 0.0.0 in the lower right corner and inserted into ritningsramens lower right corner. This automatic function for handling
name box and revision lines work independently, drawing format.
Client's logo may be supplemented with text, for example, Regions, address, etc. Additions made in
consultation with the client.
The consultant and / or contractor's logo and text placed in the "designated location for the consultant". Only the main supplier loggafår
be in the name box. If subcontractors' logos to be displayed is scope for this to the left of the logo.
TRAINING 37 (55)
Upon revision can block "Trv_Revtag.DWG" used as revideringsrad. Methods for revision is explained in the chapter "Delivery".
7.1.5 Stock
• All unique items will be placed on separate layers
• Warehouses should follow the application used for planning. If no application is used for planting stock coding shall be
made of BH 90 Part 7 Chapter 3.
• No information will be drawn on layer "0" (zero). However, the content of the block is defined in the layer "0".
• Each consultant will be requested to present a list of used inventory. The list shall include the layer name with description
that relates to stock or contains.
Deviations must be approved by the client and documented in Object-specific digital project (Tmall 0405).
7.1.8 Other
• External References. Connections to external references may be made only in part, from a drawing definition to a clean
drawing model. No circular references or "nested" objects may appear.
• All objects, colors and line types, etc., should be defined 'by layer. "
• No items will is lost upon layer 0 (zero).
• Coding of object to follow BH90 Part 7 Chapter 3, classification and codes.
• At the request of the client, the inventory list to be presented.
7.2 ChaosFunc
When the drawings are ready for delivery, and all of the requirements above are met, all stock settings and external references are stored away
in control files. Control file to store settings called [filename] .DWG.lx and control file for external references called [filename] .DWG.xr. Once
this is done, all external references disconnected from the drawing definition, detach. The creation of control files is easily done with the
addition of AutoCAD called ChaosFunc, the features of this supplement also turns off the external references for the control files created. It also
creates metadata file with values derived from the name box.
ChaosFunc also used to recreate the drawing definitions based control files. This chapter covers how ChaosFunc installed
on your computer, and use of these features.
7.2.1 Installation
To ChaosFunc to work, the user needs to have a full version of AutoCAD installed on your computer.
The addition ChaosFunc be downloaded from the Swedish Transport Administration servers, but this requires the VPN connection to the Finnish Transport
Agency as the servers are protected behind a firewall.
The addition can also be installed from Chaos with the "Install ChaosFunc" in the tools menu or via the Desktop Chaos "Installing CAD features
in AutoCAD ...", also in the tools menu.
TRAINING 38 (55)
Normally it is sufficient to run the install program to get the extension of AutoCAD. If the company-specific settings have been made in
AutoCAD so that other paths than the default is used, the extension may not load.

regardless of how it was written in the metadata file.
Text Command: MDUPPERCASEON
Use: Run command.
Write all Function: Creates all three control files as above, MD, and xr Ix, in the given order. Also removes all external
references (Detach). To be used in all drawing definitions to be delivered to the Chaos.
Read All Function: Loading information from all three control files above, xr, LX and md, in the order given. To be used in all
drawing definitions taken from Chaos.
Text Command: META READ

Tools 7.2.2.3
Tools contains functions to facilitate the handling of the drawing definitions.
ModelPan Function: Moves the contents of a viewport, highlighted point in the model-state panned to the selected
location in Layout mode.
Text Command: MP
Use: In layout mode, run the command and select the desired viewport, you moved to the model mode in the
viewport. Mark a starting point in the model in the selected viewport, you moved to Layout mode. Highlight a point in
the viewport. The focus of the viewport is moved to the selected point in the model-position coincides with the
selected point in the layout mode.
DrawingAngle Function: Rotating the coordinate system of model-position according to line drawn.

7.3.1 Revision
Revisions will be handled in accordance with TDOK 2012: 35th
In cases where the drawing to be delivered is a revision, the current revision designation and delivery name (eg PM01) specified in the
appropriate fields in the Name box. The drawing can also be equipped with a revideringsrad the Name box. Maximum five revisions will
appear with the latest revision top. Information on older revisions are saved in the md file, so no information is lost. Current revision will also
appear in the Name box in the field REV.
There are several ways to insert a revideringsrad but it is guaranteed to be correct and to automatic functions to work, it is
recommended that ChaosFunc used.
7.3.1.1 Method:
Open the properties of the block "TRV_Namnruta"
Change the value of the "REV" to the current revision designation as B. Save and close the
Properties window. Open the menu and select ChaosFunc write metadata. Open the menu
ChaosFunc again and this time choose Read Metadata.
When reading metadata updated revision lines to a number of the new revision is added. If five lines already on the drawing, the oldest
away so that there are still only five lines.
Open the properties for the revision line and fill in the values to be found there. Clear!
7.3.2 cleaning
Before the delivery of a drawing definition, it is cleaned. All of the information is not used or used as support during the design phase to
remove. After that the file is cleaned with the command "purge" or equivalent. Preferably also XREFPURGE used in accordance with
section 7.2.2.3.
7.3.3 Plotting
After drawing the definition provided with revideringsrad and cleaned plottfil should be developed. Plottfil should be in PDF format.
Which version to be used is determined by the project and should be documented in the project Tmall 0405th
PDF will be created according TDOK 2012: 35th This training does not go through the creation of PDF since there are a large number of
PDF printers on the market but still takes up a few things that are important to consider.
7.3.4 Labeling at the receiving control with Digitejp (only bridge and tunnel constructions)
Drawings are to be labeled with reference number stamped digitally using the software Digitejp.
• Check error messages. Open the folder that drawing definition is in and verify that there is no file name is the same as drawing
definition, followed by the suffix .ERM. If such a file is found, it is opened, for example, Notepad and fault checked and rectified.
• Clear!
7.3.6 Check
Check that:
• No external references are linked to the drawing definition before delivery.
• Metadata is completed in accordance with project requirements. Absolute minimum, plant part, Description1, Subdivision, Object
Name, Object and Design Stage. For drawings and drawing definitions shall also Drawing no and ritningstyp be completed.
• Meta Data File is available for both drawing definition and drawing. Example 100T0201.DWG.md and
100T0201.PDF.md.
7.3.7 Deliver
The delivery to Chaos can be made using any method described in Section 6.7 Delivery . Regardless of the method chosen, it is important
that the whole package delivered at once. If the drawing definition comes without linked models and images is no link to the version of the
model to be used. Coupling the right model via the model's time stamp is made of Chaos on delivery.
If the file storage made under the Transport Administration model and all external references remain in the same place as they did when the
control files created (the paths in the control file for external references match the actual storage locations for the models and / or pictures.) Is
sufficient to indicate plottfilerna and the text documents in delivery, independent delivery method. Drawing Definition and external references
are automatically detected by the Chaos because the control files.
In this material shows how the delivery is done with the "Wizard", chapter 6.7.2.
• Open Chaos and the object to which drawing the material to be delivered.
• Make sure that the Job is open.
• Click the wand in the job window.
• Search out and add the files to be delivered, usually, both memos, drawings, technical descriptions and drawing materials. As for
drawing the material still needs only plottfilerna selected.
• Enter a good description of the delivery and click "Next". For example, if a mod PM delivered, it is good to enter the number of the
PM. Please note that special rules for descriptions can be found for the project, in order to have uniform descriptions to make it
easier to find the right.
• On the question of whether drawing definitions and models to be included, it is very important that the option "Yes" is highlighted,
although no models have changed. Failure to do so will not link to the correct version of the model work. Click "Next".
TRAINING 43 (55)
• Click "Finish".
• Make sure that everything is correct, that all metadata files are included, all model files are found, etc. Note that anything sent over
to Chaos bow until the "Leave the job" is clicked. Click "Leave the job."
7.3.8 Other
Line types, text styles, PC3 files, and CTB files used in the design and do not follow the Finnish Transport Agency's standard
shall be notified project by putting them in the Chaos.
The files are packed into zip archive and attached to the delivery to the Chaos where the models that use them delivered.
• arrange models
• Clean file, purge,
• Create plottfil
• Create control files
• Check error messages (.ERM)
• Deliver

If the name is not known, documents can be searched by metadata, technical and geographical division
mm.
Enter the search criteria in the fields below and click "Search" to start the search.
Search results are displayed in the search window lower edge and can be filtered by type of document by selecting one of the tabs All,
Drawing, Definition, Model and text. In some items, it can also be a tab called Images.
By default, the found documents sorted alphabetically by file name, change it by clicking on any of the other fields, for example. File type or file
time. To view, sort, and possibly after, other metadata than those displayed, you can right-click on the toolbar and selecting what to display.
After each search, it is recommended to click the button to remove all the old
search criteria.
on the button available after the field name. To search function to work, it is important to
Documents are named according to the Administration's naming convention.
TRAINING 45 (55)
The window defines the criterion is known, the above example will show all VA drawings pin and wastewater in the object, in all areas
and plant parts.
In the fields "Name" specifies the metadata fields to be searched. In the "comparison" sets out how the search
value should relate to the value of the document
• ~ Means that the search text will be part of the field's value, for example. search "~ the main tunnel" would give a date for the
text "201 inside the main tunnel"
• = Means that the value of the metadata field to be exactly the same as the search value.
• > means that the value of the metadata field to be greater than the specified search value, works best for purely numeric data.
• <Means that the value of the metadata field must be less than the specified search value, works best for purely numeric data.
• > = Means that the value of the metadata field must be greater than or equal to the specified search value, works best for
purely numeric data.
• <= Means that the value of the metadata field must be less than or equal while the given search value, works best for purely
numeric data.
• <> Means that the value of the metadata field to be separated from the search value. Ex. Object number <> 250 checks the
correct item number is entered for the documents, different documents are displayed and can be corrected.
TRAINING 46 (55)
If option 1, 2 or 3 is used, a dialog box on any of the documents retrieved is a drawing definition. Option 4 discussed in the section
"Collect work files".
If "Yes" is selected for download all associated model files down. If "No" is
selected for download only drawing definition down.
In temp folder, usually wise C: \ temp Chao, a folder is created for each object in Chaos, folder, the object's object name folder
names. The object mapping is then used Transport Administration's standard folder structure for road projects.
TRAINING 47 (55)
The folders name set with a single digit corresponds areas, which saves all drawing materials. Subdivisions then split in technology, the
technical areas, the material is then divided into drawings, drawing definitions and models.
The folders with the project name corresponds to the project in Chaos, which saves all text documents.
Folder name set to X is used for documents that do not follow the standard name, eg images when the image feature of Chaos
used.
When the definitions are added to the job appear given the option to also add the associated models.
TRAINING 48 (55)
Yes - Adds models for the current definition for job No- skip models for current
definition
No to everything - skip models for all selected definitions Yes to everything - adds models for all
the selected files to the job
Several searches can be done and files added to the job. When the job is filled with all the required files retrieved it with the button
"Download"
"Data Root" refers to the folder in which files in the job to be saved, this will create sub-folders according to the Administration's
standard structure.
"The version of the document to fetch" is used to select if the latest version of all referenced models to download, or if that particular version of
the models identified by the definitions will be downloaded. Note that if the "Use jobbfilernas version" is used, and different definitions pointing
out different versions of the same model, the last of these versions are downloaded.
"Choose document type" is used to filter out which types of documents in the job to be retrieved. By default, retrieved drawings and text
documents. To also download CAD files, boxes at the Drawing Definitions and Drawing Models marked.
To collect the working files are added all drawings whose work files requested to a folder.
TRAINING 49 (55)
Work files collected by right-clicking on the folder and select "File - Collect work files".
A folder structure is now created automatically, plottfilerna remain in the main folder, for this creates a folder for the drawing definitions.
Apparently works even files as folders and each drawing definition is the model files are checked to see image below. In the folder Drawing
Models is model files for all selected drawings collected.
TRAINING 50 (55)
8.4.1.1 Save as
The folder with the desired files and folders is highlighted and the right-click menu, select "Save As"
In Windows Explorer that opens is selected in the site files will be stored.
In the "Drawing Definitions" is drawing definitions and a folder for each definition with the models that belong to that particular definition.
In the folder Drawing Models are models for all picked drawing definitions overall.
8.4.1.2 Export
Another variant of retrieving the document is the "Export", documents downloaded by this function can be imported into another Chao Object
and file structures.
TRAINING 51 (55)
Documents and structures exported in this way can then be imported into another database.
To even get to the files, not just the folder structure, select "All files exported + all related documents be retrieved."
Location for storing downloaded content specified in the "XML file structure".
When the files are downloaded, it goes in the specified folder, the folder is built Transport Administration standard structure up.
TRAINING 52 (55)
A major benefit of downloading drawing material to the standard structure in this way is that the link to the model files can be automatically
created with ChaosFunc.
To even get to the files, not just the folder structure, select "All files exported + all related documents be retrieved."
This time also marked the line "Create file and folder names under the tree order '
Location for storing downloaded content specified in the "XML file structure".
When the files are downloaded, it goes in the specified folder with the structure used in the Chaos.
In Chaos, there is the possibility to change the settings so that always the latest version of the models retrieved, regardless of the clutches of
the drawing definition. This, on the other hand, cause problems in other situations.
It is therefore important to keep track of this setting and change it as required at the moment.
Selection of the model files are handled at the pick-up is done under "Settings" in the File menu.
If the option "Manage files on download as version locked" is checked downloaded the version of the model files were when
drawing definition delivered.
If the option is not selected for download always the latest version of the model files.
Since the quality of deliveries to Chaos is not always optimal, it may happen that all the models are not deleted from the drawing definition. If
so, re-created drawings is not correct, it is important to first check if the drawing definitions downloaded have any referenced models. If the
referenced models are available, these shall be removed (detach) before drawing definition recovered.
Open plan defined in CAD, enter the command "xref", highlight any models, right click and select "detach".
Then open the "ChaosFunc" under the "metadata", and the "Read all above" is selected. ChaosFunc reads back all external references and
store settings to drawing definition gets its original appearance.

Information that is not used or used as support during the design phase is removed. The file is cleaned before
delivery, the command "purge" or equivalent.
Revision of drawing
For revideringsrad the block "TRV_Revtag.DWG" used.
