IMPORTANT NOTES:

New Capabilities in the Dabacon Core

When Engineering 15.1 and Administration 1.6 are released it will be possible to create Notes and
Arrays of Strings using these products.
Because these are new capabilities in the Dabacon core, it will not be possible to display or use
such data in older products :
• PDMS
• Hull & Outfitting
• Everything3D 2.1
AVEVA Marine 12.1.SP4 Surface & Compartment new version of Spatial ACIS
In the main release of AVEVA Marine 12.1.SP4 Surface & Compartment a new version of Spatial ACIS were
included. With the ACIS upgrade a new faceting engine was introduced, with the old faceting still in
operation but without the user settings of tolerances available.

To overcome this issue there was a switch to the new faceting engine in 12.1.SP4 fix 27 where user set
tolerances once again are available, except for the aspect ratio setting which is now obsolete.

NOTE! Changes to the faceting may result in differences in Hydrostatics results.

Weight and Centre of Gravity (WCoG)
Various problems for WCoG in Hull has been detected in 12.1.SP4.33 to 12.1.SP4.36.
• wcog name & type in resulting WCOG.csv file - SP4.36 (fixed in 12.1.SP4.37)
• When run WCoG in 12.1.SP4 Fix35, the program will finish with error 1002 or 1005. (fixed in
12.1.SP4.36)
• WCoG problem of drawing with bracket (fixed in 12.1.SP4.36)
• WCOG of SBP panel incorrect (fixed in 12.1.SP4.35)
• "+ gap" is twice added to deployed bracket. (fixed in 12.1.SP4.34)
These fixes are all included in 12.1.SP4.37 and affects the weight of brackets and also the column Type in
the WCoG result list.
The weight of brackets are, in case of bevel is used, corrected to include the bevel (see fix for 12.1.SP4.34).
AVEVA Marine Surface and Compartment 12.1.SP4 Fix 26
Customers using AVEVA Marine Surface & Compartment may have problems opening surface
files in version 12.1.SP4 Fix.26. Symptom is that the system freezes and the process must be
killed. Target for a fix for this issue is 12.1.SP4 Fix.27.
AVEVA Cache Service
As a result of interaction between fixes made to Dabacon and the AVEVA Client Cache Service, it
is recommended that after installing this version, 12.1.SP4 Fix.21, the client cache on each client
machine is emptied using the Cache Manager.

Compatibility Issue

Due to compatibility issues, the Compare/Update feature of 12.1.SP4 Fix.21 (Diagrams,

Engineering & Outfitting modules) does not work successfully with AVEVA Instrumentation
12.1.SP3 Fix.4. This will be resolved with the upcoming release of AVEVA Instrumentation
12.1.SP3 Fix.5.
Production Support for Frameworks
The possibility to select a Framework graphically in the 2D canvas or to get relevant options when
Right-Clicking a Framework in the 2D canvas is dependent on the optional database upgrade
defined in AVEVA Marine 12.1 SP3. See the AVEVA Marine 12.1 SP3 bulletin note 19.9 Layers for
Outfitting Models for details.

New Representation
When setting SBH_ENABLE_SOLID_PLATES shell plates can now be represented using a
Generic Primitive created from the referenced surface and the involved seams in that surface.
The new representation is used also when generating bending templates. If issues are
encountered, it is recommended not to use this setting.
New Bending Templates IP
The new bending templates IP named LARGESIGHTLINEMARK is subject to change in a coming
hotfix release and should not yet be used.
Datasheets Performance and Printers
Performance of some features, such as the new Datasheets, may be impaired if your default
printer is not accessible. This is believed to be due to the use of Excel functions; a detailed
investigation is under way.
Support for Datasheet Templates Created in Foreign Project Databases
The current released version of “Datasheets ” in AVEVA PDMS 12.1.SP4 does not support
datasheet templates created in a foreign project dictionary. All datasheet templates “MUST” be
created in the current project dictionary database for them to be available for use in AVEVA
Engineering -Tags.
Installation
There is a prerequisite to have Windows Explorer as your default Internet browser. If you choose
to install from the DVD’s html menu, other browsers might have a different behaviour that prevents
a successful installation.

After the Marine installation has completed an installation of the AVEVA Database Cache Service
is started automatically. A prerequisite for AVEVA Database Cache Service is that the Microsoft
Message Queuing (MSMQ) is enabled. For a description of enabling the MSMQ and the use of
AVEVA Database Cache Service, please refer to chapter AVEVA Database Cache Service in the
Marine Software Installation Guide.

Database Optional Upgrade

The database upgrade framework is extended with a concept of optional upgrades. The software
requires a database to be upgraded to a certain level to be granted write access to the database.
But beyond that mandatory upgrade level it is now possible to apply further optional upgrade levels
to acquire new enhanced features. For more information please see the Data Management and
Database Administrator User Guide / Database Upgrade.

The impact of the PML Form Layout Changes

PML developers using the new Forms and Menus libraries, may discover unacceptable changes to
the layout of some existing forms when upgrading from earlier releases. The fix for the layout
changes is usually straight forward. For further information please see item KB4453 in the
Knowledge Base .

P&ID Integration UDA Definition Change

If using the AVEVA P&ID to Tags integration in Compare/Update, please note that the integration
UDA pmg-engi-pid should have its UDA Length increased to 150 characters.

Description
Marine Drafting – Dynamic Feed-Back when Creating/updating Dimensionings

Description
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4, dynamic feed-back has been implemented in functions creating or updating
dimensionings:

• When supplying each measure point in Linear 2d/3d Dimensioning creation

• When locating the dimension line in Linear 2d/3d/Axis Parallel Dimensioning creation

• When locating the leader line in Radius/Diameter Dimensioning creation

• When moving radius/diameter text in Modify/Dimension/Move Dimension Text function

• When moving the dimension line in Modify/Dimension/Move Dimension Line function

• When changing witness line direction in Modify/Dimension/Slant Witness Line function

Also, some other improvements:

• Snapping to cardinal axis during "Modify/Dimension/Slant Witness Line" now also in 3D.

• When checking placement for “text outside” in Linear 2d/3d Dimensioning creation, no need for
user to indicate side explicit (during location of dimension line, the hair-cross position gives the
wanted side)

• When creating Axis Parallel dimensioning, side for text is now derived when locating the
dimension line.

Benefits
Improved user feed-back when creating/updating dimensionings (WYSIWYG)

Marine Drafting – Moving texts in Radius/Diameter Dimensionings

Description
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 it is now possible to move the text in Diameter and Radius dimensionings
also parallell to the reference line in the interactive function Modify Dimensioning/Move Dimension Text.
This means that the text can be moved "freely". However, for dimensionings of type Straight, Knuckled
and Cross with text outside, the offset cannot be negative (while it can for type Cross with text inside).
During positioning of the text, the user is guided by dynamic highlighting..

In PADD, the “offset text along reference line” is preserved by the u-component of attribute DTOF of
PDIM element. The offset when creating new dimensionings is zero (like in previous versions).

Benefits
Possibility to move dimension text freely, with dynamic feed-back.

Description
Marine Drafting – Available Space for Dimension Texts using Default Keyword DIM_FAC4

Description
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 it is now possible to safely control the strategy for deriving available space for
dimension texts.

When creating dimensionings (linear, cross radius/diameter, curve), the available space for the dimension
text has by default been derived as the gap between the arrows, not between the witness lines. Moreover,

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 15 of 497

 Product Release Letter
the default keyword DIM_FAC4 has been used to define the “clearance” between the arrows and the
dimension text (this factor multiplied with the arrow length). The system default value is 0.3. Setting this
factor to zero means no clearance. Negative values has been allowed but not recommended.

In case the dimension text does not fit, the size of it will optionally be reduced in order to fit within the
available space. The reduction involves primarily decreasing the aspect and if that is not enough, the
height is also decreased. This behavior is controlled by the default keywords DIM_TEXT_ASPECT_FIT
and DIM_LIN_FIT.

A drawback is that the height of the dimension text might be reduced unnecessarily much, making it hard
to read the text.

To get better readability of dimension texts in narrow sections, user can make system ignore the arrows
during available space calculation, by setting DIM_FAC4 to -1.0. This approach has always been
possible but the result has not always been reliable.

In this release of Marine Drafting, this approach can be used safely.

Benefits
Possibility to safely control the available space for dimension texts

12.1.SP4.48

Description
The State of Hull Component

Description
Hull component stiffeners, plates and brackets now have new attributes to support checking quality and
maturity of the hull model.

Modelling state is captured in attribute MODSTY and can be set manually using a pseudo attribute
MODSTA to values “Preliminary”, “ByRule” or “Manual”. Typically, if customer creates/modifies hull
components with own software, state can then be set to “ByRule”.

“Preliminary” is set by system when thickness of plate or bracket is set to zero and when stiffener is
defined without endcut. Once these properties are given, state will be changed to “Manual”.

If component is set “ByRule” and component is changed using AVEVA standard functions, then state is
set to “Manual”.

Hull components with position numbers assigned are normally in a state where it is important to
understand if changes have occurred. If a stiffener, a plate or a bracket with position number defined is
changed by the user, then the new attribute ISCHGD is set to true. Comparison criteria is geometry and
properties affecting the actual manufacturing part that will be the result of the hull component.

The automatic generation of position numbers can look for changed parts, resort them and eventually give
them new position numbers.

Benefits
Better possibilities to check the quality of the model

Description
New API for Planar Panel Customizations

Description
A new API, Aveva.Marine.Planar, is introduced to edit hull element properties efficiently. The API is based
on the scheme statement syntax and statement keywords that can be queried and set using dedicated
objects and methods. Furthermore, topologically related elements, e.g. going from bracket arm to related

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 17 of 497

 Product Release Letter
stiffener, can be found by reference methods supplied by the new API.

The execution of the created/modified statements will be done as before using the MarHullPan object in
the marAPI.

The API is available both from PML and .Net environments.

Benefits
More easier access and editing planar panel components via customization add-ins.
This will lead to more easier execution of Rule Based Design principals.

12.1.SP4.46

Description
Enhanced for handling of Hull Text

Description
When a Hull Text is to be projected, the Hull Text drawing must be organized in a correct way. This can
be achieved with help of the functions Split Subpicture. It is, however, a complicated task to get this Hull
Text drawing in perfect shape with respect to its internal organisation.

Each level in the picture must also have specific and correct attributes.
For this, there is now introduced a new function to help organising the drawing.

The function is under Hull Tools  Hull Text  Verify.

This should be invoked when the Hull Text drawing is current.

Before invoking the function, the Hull Text should be reorganised with help of Split Subpicture and each
element that should be projected, placed on Component level:

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 18 of 497

 Product Release Letter

When this is done, invoke the Hull Text  Verify function and the system will automatically reorganise the
drawing to be in a correct state and ready for projection, as in the first picture above.

Marine Drafting – User Confirm of Layer Status Report

Description
Whenever a drawing is opened or a new one is created, the current status of layer settings is reported in
the message window (e.g. “The following layers are hidden …”).

In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 it is now possible to control if the Layer Status Report should be confirmed by
user. The intention is to force user pay attention to the report.

For this purpose, a new Drafting Default Keyword has been introduced.
Keyword:

LAYER_STATUS_REPORT_CONFIRM

“Never”

Explanation:

When a drawing is opened or a new one is created (also via Marapi functions DwgNew and DwgOpen),
this keyword controls if the Layer Status Report should be confirmed by user.

Description
Copy Assistant API

Description
A new .NET class is defined with two methods (Export and Import) and marked as PMLNetCallable and
can thereby be called from PML.

This enabled for customized development using utilizing two exposed methods Export and Import.

Import 'CopyAssistAddin'

using namespace 'CopyAssistAddin'

!copyobj = object CopyAssist()

The CopyAssist object expose two methods, Export and Import where both take a string argument.

!copyobj.export('C:\Temp\CSuites\CopySuite1.sxs')

!copyobj.import('C:\Temp\CSuites\CopySuite1.sxs')

The string argument is meant to refer a file describing input data for Export and Import operations. Such a
file is denoted as a Copy Suite consisting of a number of Copy Sets where each Copy Set contains a
selection of elements. A Copy Suite file is used for both Export and Import operations but the selection of
elements is used only at Export and ignored at Import. Following example of a Copy Suite file shows two
Copy Sets (CopySet1 and CopySet2) both with selection of three elements for export. At Import only the
name of Copy Set is fetched from the Copy Suite while element information is retrieved from the Copy Set
folder (CopySet1 alt CopySet2). There is no schema definition to validate the correctness of data so
preparing a Copy Suite file requires accuracy. However, a logging mechanism is provided to direct failure

Description

Marine Drafting – Text Alignment User Interface

Description
The default text alignment in Marine Drafting has so far been Horizontal "Left" and Vertical "Base Line"
without possibility for user to control.

In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 Hotfix, a user interface for controlling the alignment while placing a text in the
drawing has been introduced.

A new toolbar "Text Alignment", offering horizontal alignments "Left", "Centre" and "Right", and vertical
alignments "Top", "Half Height", "Middle", "Base Line" and "Bottom", will be enabled whenever a text is
about to be positioned in the drawing.

Alignment control is available in following functionality:

- Annotate/Label

- Annotate/Markup

- Insert/Text

- Dimension/Area

- Dimension/Distance

- Modify/Label/Move

- Modify/Move/Text

- Modify/Copy/Text

At start-up of Marine Drafting, the default text alignment is "Left" and "Base Line" as before.

Note that when changing text status during multi-row text insertion, the “Text Corner Reference” choice
has been removed (now covered by alignment functionality). Also note that when aligning multi-row text
horizontally, all rows will be justified according to selected alignment.

The alignment is useful also when aligning to other texts in the drawing, e.g. when using the "2D Lock"
toolbar options while moving the text.

Benefits
Improved functionality and user control while positioning text in the drawing.

Description
Marine Drafting – Picking In 3D View

Description
The 3D view is available on both Hull Design/Outfitting Design and Marine Drafting/Outfitting Draft
modules. However when selecting an element in the 3D canvas the result is different in the design
modules compared to the draft/drafting modules. For example, when picking a flange on a pipe:
• In Hull Design/Outfitting design the flange will be selected in the 3D view and the flange will also
become the current element in the design explorer.
• In Marine Drafting/Outfitting Draft the whole pipe branch is selected and it is also the pipe branch that
will become the current element in the design explorer.
There has now been some improvements to support the “Design” picking mode in in Marine Drafting and
Outfitting Draft. Please note that the other way around is not possible: Design can only have design
picking mode.

In Marine Drafting this new picking option is controlled by a new Drafting default keyword
“VIEW3D_PICK_MODE“. It may be assigned to any of the two values:
1. Design - The picking mode should be “as in Design”. This is the only legal when you are in a design
module. When in marine drafting, this value can activate the “design” way of picking.
2. Drafting - The picking mode should be the default drafting mode. This is not a legal value working in
a design module.
(The pre-selected value of the default keyword depends on the module. In Marine Drafting it is “Drafting”
and in design it is “Design”)

In Outfitting Draft the design pick mode can be activated by unchecking the option “Draft Pick Mode” that
can be found in the menu “3D View\Settings”. This is only available when the 3D view is opened and the
setting will only apply to the current instance of the 3D view. (This is different to Marine Drafting where all
instances of the 3D view will apply to the current drafting default setting.)

Benefits
The drafting and design picking result is the same which can be less confusing for the user.

Compatibility Constraints
None.

Marine Drafting – Defining owner in Multi-Select Copy function

Description
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 Hotfix, the “Multi-Select” Copy function has been improved by letting the user
define the target owner for the copies.

In previous releases, the selected elements were always copied to the same owner as the source.

If the selection contains elements below view level, the system will now ask the user to indicate the target
owner for those elements:
• If a target owner is indicated by user, each element in the selection will then be copied
below appropriate level in that owner structure.
• By clicking “Operation Complete”, the same owner will be used. Each element will then
be copied within the same owner (default behaviour in previous releases).
• By clicking “Options”, a new owner view will be created. Each element will then be copied
below appropriate level in that owner structure.
Moreover, a check for model information within the selection is done in the same manner as in the
Modify/Copy/Subpicture function (the drafting default keyword
MODEL_SUBPICTURE_2DREGROUP_ALLOW is used to decide if model information should be copied).

Marine Drafting – Updating Note text

Description
In Marine Drafting, the Drafting default keyword DENY_UPDATE_OF_NON_PERSISTED_GEOM now
also controls the behavior when updating text belonging to a Note component.

When updating a text element belonging to a note component (not persisted in PADD, but still possible to
re-evaluate) the system can react in two ways:
• Allowing the update, keeping in mind that the modification will be lost at the time the Note is re-
evaluated (e.g. when moving the Note by Modify/Move/Reference)
• Deny the modification on geometry level but instead applying it on Note level (forcing a re-
evaluation of the whole Note) if this is possible

The system will apply the modification on Note level if and only if
• The text belongs to a Note component
• The modification makes sense on Note level
• This default keyword is set to YES

The text modifying functions that now trig the default keyword are:
• Edit/Text and Mouse Right-Click Text / Edit
• Modify/Move/Text and Mouse Right-Click Text / Move
• Modify/Properties/Text/Properties
• Modify/Properties/Text/Contents

Description
Placing Components at a Selected Snap Point

In addition to the place3D button on the component editor form the place in line functionality has been
extended to use any graphical feature as a positioning point.

Previously the user would need to pick the appropriate tube element in which to insert components and
the components would be positioned at the exact picked position along the tube. This functionality still
works as before, but now it is possible to pick any item as a positioning point using graphical tools.

The next two views show the current situation where the user picks a component position in tube and the
component is placed accordingly.

Description
New Pipe Settings Form Added
Piping Settings/Defaults
The main purpose of the new pipe settings form is to add control of how Pipe tappings are used but it also
includes basic default settings for the component creation form and tube insertion values which can now
use Datacon tube ranges.

The new form can be controlled or uncontrolled depending on the project requirements. If the form is
controlled, the form will be read only for normal users displayed for reference only. If it is controlled it can
be accessed by designated users and free users

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 55 of 497

 Product Release Letter
The actual trigger for enabling the control to be read only will be the existence of a team called
PIPINGADMIN in the project. When the settings are first loaded the initialisation will check for the
existence of the PIPINGADMIN team and load the file from the projects defaults area. If a settings file
does not exist in the project area it will create one with default settings. This will be read only for normal
users but can be changed by any member of the PIPINGADMIN team or any free user.
The file for controlled piping defaults will be put in the PDMSDFLTS area as:
'%PDMSDFLTS%/piping_settings_General'

Where the piping defaults form is uncontrolled the piping defaults file will be in the PDMSUSER area and
there will be a RW file for each user in the form:
'%AVEVA_DESIGN_USER%/piping_settings_Username

The Piping settings form has two main areas, the component creation and Non Standard Branch
connections.
The component creation area contains some settings which were once stored in a file in the PDMSUSER
area with a name component creation_<username>. This file is now superseded by a new file with a
name piping settings_<username> which contains more user preferences.

Controlling the Insert Tube Length for Component Creation

When a component is inserted into tube in the Component Creation form there is a process which
determines where the component will be inserted. Basically two values are considered; Snap Distance
and Minimum Tube length.
If the picked position is less than the current Snap distance away from a component the process will try to
connect to the previous component. The minimum tube distance can be different to the snap distance and
works to ensure that the minimum tube between welds is a practical value. Unfortunately Snap and
Minimum Tube values are single values and the default is 100mm.
There is another way of setting these values by introducing a factor for example 2 times the outside
diameter with a text of “2 * OD’ for snap Distance and/or Min Tube Length.
Neither option is ideal because one provides a single value for all sizes and the multiple method provides
an odd length on which to base a measurement.
For this development two extra fields have been added to provide a means of using pre-set Datacon tube
lengths based on bore size.
Previously Snap Dist and Min.Tube these values were stored in a user defaults file but now they are set
using the piping settings form as shown below. Both values can be a value or a bore based expression as
shown:

This view shows examples of the old methods

This method shows the Datacon options set.

The default Datacon tolerance is a simple 100mm for everything but it can have different values for up to
10 bore ranges.
If you have tube tolerances set, the command Q TOL TUBE will show you what they are.
Here is a sample:
Minimum tube length :100mm
Minimum tube length :75mm for Bores from 10mm to 65mm
Minimum tube length :100mm for Bores from 80mm to 200mm
Minimum tube length :200mm for Bores from 250mm to 600mm

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 56 of 497

 Product Release Letter
Minimum tube length :300mm for Bores from 600mm to 1200mm

Any tube bores not covered by the ranges will get the default 100mm tolerance

The mid part of the form relates to settings on the component creation form itself and simply define how
the form is first displayed. Auto align, Auto Create, Select Adjacent Out of Spec and Skip Connected
Comps will all appear as defined by these default settings. However once the form is in use during a
design session the defaults will not be applied again.
The Descriptions pulldown controls how the component creation form displays component choice.

The Full option displays a combination of Catalogue texts - STYPE, RTEXT and MTXX. For example:

The other options are cut down versions:

R Text

Note in the example below S text, T Text and Catalogue Reference the tables are the same because
there are no values set in the standard catalogue for STEXT and TTEXT and the default is to use the
catalogue reference if no other value can be found.

The Non Standard Branch defaults area contains some options to configure where and how NSBC
connections may be made.
How NSBC connections are used are controlled by the Non Standard Branch Connections box on the
piping Settings form

The options are shown below:

The Not Allowed option restricts NSBC completely if the user ties to create a connect ion the following

massage is displayed:

The From Specification option means that NSBC connections are available on pipes whose PSPEC has
reference to a tapping table and the current bore size is valid. If a user tries to select a pipe which does
not have a valid tapping spec, the following is displayed:

The No Restriction option, as the title suggests, allows any combination on any pipe with no restrictions.
The final option allows you to use a tapping table. Although only one table is shown in the list, it will show
all of the tables available and allow you to select any one.
If multiple tables are in use, it’s probably better to assign them to the piping specs using the tap reference
attribute.
The final option is the Not Allowed in Tube toggle. Ticking this prevents NSBC connections from being
used in tube, thus forcing the user to use conventional tees or olets from the piping spec.

Description
Project Data updates
In order to enable the control of tappings and part of a bug fix, there is a macro which needs to be run into
the MAS project before this development will work properly. The is located in:
Data12.1.SP4\pdmsui\DFLTS\data\SP4Update\Update.pmldat
To run this, go to Paragon in the MAS project with mdb /ALLMAS
If the macro is located in the correct place it can be run by:
CALLDEF data\SP4Update\Update.pmldat from the Paragon module
Note this macro creates a new tapping table then goes to Propcon to create some weights, the returns to
Paragon to finish. If everything loads ok savework and go to design.
The SP4Update directory is contained in a zip file which will be supplied.

Description
New 3-D Component Creation Button
Traditionally there have been two methods for inserting components into a branch, connect and place.
Both methods insert new components into an existing pipe route but always in line with the current
constrained centreline. For this development a new insertion method has been introduced (Place3D) to
allow a new component to be inserted using the event driven graphics picking mechanism.
This works by inserting a new component after the current element in the branch but its position is
determined by an event driven pick. The actual position can be derived by any of the EDG pick options
and the component is placed at the picked Position. At this point the model editor is invoked to allow
further position adjustment.
Below is an example of placing a valve:

Changes to Quick Pipe Router Bend selection

When using the quick pipe router it is possible to either use elbows, or bends for changing pipe direction.
Quick Pipe Router used to apply a default radius to bends if it could not find a suitable radius from the
specification.
Now the user has a choice of how bend radius is calculated based on a new bend radius selection form.
This can be initiated by right clicking on the quick pipe router direction handle or it appears automatically if
Quick Pipe Router cannot find a default.
To select bends in Quick Pipe Router, select Component Choice then Use Bends

If the bend radius has been set in the specification, then this radius will always be used.
If you select use bends and there is no radius set in the specification, then you have the option to set a
bending machine or a defined radius.
If neither of them are set when you select use bends, the default radius selection form will show
automatically.

New screenshot
At the top of the form, the current creation options are shown. This shows you the branch that the quick
pipe router is modifying.
If the form is being displayed when using the specification, the form will be entirely greyed out when
opened and it will specify that it is using a specification at the top of the form.

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 62 of 497

 Product Release Letter
Also at the top of the form there are two options for the user to select whether they want the quick pipe
router to try and use a bending machine, or use a defined radius.
Clicking on these options will grey out irrelevant gadgets on the form.

Bending Machine
If the user selects bending machine, then the bending machine options will be made available.

Within the drop down box is the complete list of bending machines that are available in the MDB.
It is possible to set either a bending machine, a bending machine group, or a bending machine world.
You can set the bending machine at either branch, pipe or zone level.
When the bending machine is set, the bending machine is first validated against the current branch, if the
bending machine cannot be used on the current branch, the user is asked if they wish to proceed.

If the user clicks no, the bending machine is not set and the form closes. If the user clicks yes, the
bending machine is set at the level selected on the form.
The quick pipe router will always use the bending machine that is set at the lowest level,
e.g. BRAN > PIPE > ZONE
If the user attempts to set the bending machine at an upper level, e.g. PIPE, then a check will be done to
see if a different bending machine has been set at the branch. If it has the user will be asked if they wish
to remove the bending machine at the lower level.

It is also possible to unset the bending machine at a particular level by selecting unset from the drop down
list.

Description
Naming and Colour Rules Enhancement (SI 59072, 59073, 59074)
Naming Rules
Naming rules are critical on a project, and access to change rules that could change element naming
should be restricted to users with certain privileges. This is already implemented for Autonaming rules on
the Naming Settings form, where users without Administration privileges are not permitted to open the
Define Rules form.
Users with access to change Naming Rules:
• Any Free user
• Any user in MASTER team or a team with name <Module Key>ADMIN, e.g. DESADMIN.
• In Paragon - users belonging to team CATADMIN
• In Draft - users belonging to team DRAFTADMIN

Autocolour Rules
Element colouring rules are not as critical as naming rules on some projects, depending on project
working practices. Ordinary users (i.e. users not in an ADMIN team) may be permitted to change colour
rules.
The problem highlighted is that Element Rules are stored in PDMSUSER or project defaults or system
defaults folders under the name MARODES-ELEMENT-RULES.PMLDAT (in Marine). This file can be
modified from the Naming Rules GUI only if logged in as an ADMIN user. However, this same file can be
modified from the Auto Colour Rules GUI by a user without ADMIN privileges. The same level of ADMIN
protection to the Element Rules file when modifying Auto Colour Rules and Naming Rules is requested.

Naming and Colour Rule Files

When loading Naming or Colour rules the system will search for the rule definition files in the following
order:
1. User folder (%PDMSUSER%)
2. Project defaults folder (%<Project ID>DFLTS%)
3. System defaults folder (%PDMSDFLTS%)
The first such file found will be opened, and this is the file that will be changed if the rules are saved.

Resolution SI 59074: Restrict Access to Element Rules from the Auto Colour Setting Form

Access is still available to all users to add or modify auto-colour rules, but access to the Element Rules is
restricted. [Note that some existing 12.1.SP4 Marine and Plant users who are currently able to
modify their Auto Colour rules and Element rules will have restricted access following this hot-
fix.]
From the Auto Colour Rules form, any user can still show the Element Rules form. They need to be able
to see the details of each Element Rule so that they can judge whether the rule is useful to be used as
part of an Auto Colour rule definition.
On the element rules form they can still add new rules, but they can only add them to their own
PDMSUSER area. They cannot modify or add to project or company rules. They cannot override
company or project rules with a local version of a rule because rule names cannot be duplicated.
For a user without administration privileges the option to save Element Rules to any location other than

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 64 of 497

 Product Release Letter
PDMSUSER is denied.

The Naming rules user interface is unchanged for SI 59074.

Resolution SI 59073: Store Auto Colour rules to Defaults from the Auto Colour Setting Form

The requirement is to be able to store changes back to the Colour Rules file that was opened. Currently,
opening the PDMSDFLTS file to edit colour rules writes the result back to PDMSUSER. Then the user
has to manually copy the file to the project defaults folder or to the system defaults folder. It can be
argued that it is good practice to encourage new rules to be checked locally before being shared with
other users.
The changes made to meet this requirement are as follows:
A new paragraph has been added to the Graphics Settings form Colour tab to indicate which set of rules
had been opened (User defined, Project defined or System defined):

Any user opening colour rules in PDMSUSER will be allowed to store changes back to PDMSUSER.
A user without Administration privileges can open a project or system defined colour rules file, but cannot
overwrite it, so they will be prompted to ask if they want to save their changes to PDMSUSER.
A user with Administration privileges can open a project or system colour rules file and store changes
back to that file if:
• They have write access to the file
• They have not use locally stored Element Rules in their colour rules, because these rules might
not be accessible by other users.
In both cases a warning message will be issued, and the user given the opportunity to save their
changes to their PDMSUSER folder.

Resolution SI 59072: Store Auto Naming rules to Defaults from the Auto Naming Setting Form

The requirement is to be able to store changes back to the Naming Rules file that was opened. Currently,
modified naming rules loaded from a system or project naming rules file are written back to PDMSUSER.
Then the user has to manually copy the file to the project or system defaults folder. It can be argued that it
is good practice to encourage new rules to be checked locally before being shared with other users.
The changes made to meet this requirement are as follows:
A new paragraph has been added to the Naming Settings form to indicate which set of rules has been
opened (User defined, Project defined or System defined):

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 65 of 497

 Product Release Letter

Only users with Administration privileges can proceed to the Define Naming Rules form, so there is no
change in behaviour for most users. Only users with Administration privileges can use the File > Save
command on the File menu.
A user with Administration privileges can open a system or project naming rules file, and store changes
back to that file if:
• They have write access to the file
• They have not used locally stored element rules in their naming rules, because these rules might
not be accessible to other users.
In both cases a warning message will be issued, and the user given the opportunity to save their changes
to their PDMSUSER folder.

Marine Drafting – Sectioning of Models in “Wireline Hidden Line” View Type

Description
There has been a changed in how model views with section planes (VSEC elements) are handled in
12.1.SP4.26. Previously the view type “wireline hidden line” meant that no sectioning was performed at all
on Outfitting Models, i.e. the whole model was presented, disregarding if it was inside or outside the
sectioning planes.

Typically Hull Symbolic Views will have section planes where the planes are created automatically to map
the limits defined for the symbolic view. There will also be section planes if the Marine Drafting function
Tools\Model View\Slice have been used.

In Marine Drafting/Hull Design the change will primarily affect Outfitting Models and assemblies. Hull
models have sometimes a “slicing” functionality of its own applied:

• In hull symbolic views

• When the view type is not global hidden line or universal hidden line

In Outfitting Draft all models are affected.

If sectioning is not desired on the view, the view type used should be “wireline” or the section planes
should be removed.

Benefits
Better performance when creating sliced/sectioned model views compared to the use of view type
“modelled wireline” which is slower.

Compatibility Constraints
None.

Description

Compare/Update Changes in 12.1.SP4 Fix.23

Compare/Update has had a major update in this release to align its functionality with AVEVA Engineering
14.1.SP1 and Aveva Diagrams 14.1 and thus support integrated projects.

Taking Source Data from the AVEVA Integration Services

Compare/Update has the option to take source data from the new AVEVA Integration Services. This
service can be configured to access data from AVEVA Instrumentation, Electrical and P&ID, thus allowing
access to those products’ data without the need to have them installed on the same computer. In the
Configuration Wizard a new option to use Service Mode has been introduced.

Set Mode to Local if the source data is to be from a product installed on the same computer.

Set Mode to Service if the source data is to be from the AVEVA Integration Services. The window
changes to show fields for Server Name, Port and Source. These should be set according to the Service
configuration.

AVEVA Integration Services is available as a separate install. For more information refer to its Installation
and User Guides.

Multiple Configurations with the Same Source and Destination Types

The earlier restriction of a single configuration for any given combination of source and destination type
has been removed. This means it is now possible to define multiple configurations to cover different
subsets or attribute selections of the same types, or to allow configuration with and without member
hierarchies.

Compare Parent/Child Hierarchy

Compare/Update can compare a parent/child hierarchy, such as equipment and nozzles. Each level of

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 75 of 497

 Product Release Letter
the hierarchy is controlled by a separate configuration. A step in the Configuration Wizard allows child
configurations to be included with a parent.

Where the comparison includes a parent/child hierarchy, individual levels can be expanded or collapsed
by clicking on the "+" and "-" cells.

Import of Instruments to Instrument, Equipment and SubEquipment

Compare/Update now supports compare and import of Instruments from AVEVA Instrumentation to
Design element types Instrument, Equipment and SubEquipment. This gives the capability, for example,
to separate instruments into inline, offline mounted, and offline non-mounted.

Note: The integration UDA pmg-design-ai should have its element list extended to include types Cable,
Equipment, Instrument and SubEquipment.

Groups of Configurations
Compare/Update can now run a group of configurations as a single operation. The Administrator can
define groups of configurations using the new Manage Groups option.

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 76 of 497

 Product Release Letter

The Manage Groups form can be used to create groups and allocate configurations to those groups.

A configuration can be in more than one group. A setting on the Define Rule Set page of the
Configuration Wizard allows the administrator to define if a configuration can be run standalone.

Unless Make this Configuration standalone is checked, the configuration can be run only as part of a

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 77 of 497

 Product Release Letter
group. Configurations set to be available standalone may also be in groups.

The end user will see a combined list of the groups and those configurations that have been made
available standalone. When comparing, the results will be shown concatenated from each configuration in
the group in turn. When updating, a separate owner may be entered for each configuration in the group.

Owner Expression Step in Configuration Wizard

A step in the Configuration Wizard allows an optional Owner Expression to be entered. This will be
evaluated against the appropriate source object during the Update Database process to determine the
owner for an inserted object.

The expression can be tested by selecting an object of the appropriate source type and pressing the Test
button.

During the Update Database process, the precedence of determining the owner for an inserted object will
be:
1. From the parent/child hierarchy if updating using a child configuration
2. From a PML callback if defined
3. From the owner expression if defined
4. From the setting in the Update Database dialogue

Allow Update Setting for Attributes

Attribute mapping may be restricted to comparison only. Each attribute has its own setting to Allow
Update.

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 78 of 497

 Product Release Letter

Update Database dialogue more compact

The Update Database dialogue now hides sections not relevant to the current results. For example if
there are only unmatched items to be inserted, it will hide the section for linked or matched items to be
updated.

New “Accept All” Options

Where a Fluent UI is available, the options to accept objects for update have been expanded:
• Accept All Displayed accepts all displayed rows and is used to insert new objects and update
attribute values.
• Accept All Linked accepts all linked objects and is useful in order to unlink.
• Accept All Matched accepts all matched objects and is useful to link objects and/or update
attribute values.
• Accept All Unmatched accepts all unmatched objects and is useful to insert new objects.
• Accept None clears the current acceptance selection.

Note that the older UI style retains the simple Accept All button.

The PML methods have been expanded to be consistent with the accept options:
• acceptAllDisplayed() accepts all available changes.
• acceptAllLinked() accepts all linked objects.
• acceptAllMatched() accepts all matched objects.
• acceptAllUnmatched() accepts all unmatched objects.
• updateLink() now updates attributes for linked objects for consistency with the Update Database
dialogue default settings.

Note: Existing macros require modification

• An Accept method is now required prior to an Update in PML. Previously there was an implicit
acceptance of available changes. This is no longer the case.
• The acceptAllLink() method has been renamed to acceptAllLinked() for consistency with the User
Interface.

PML Callbacks
Specific company and project customisations can be implemented using PML callbacks and a framework
is provided for this purpose. Methods are provided in the cuProjectHandler PML object to enable
additional checks and actions:

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 79 of 497

 Product Release Letter
• Switch PML events on or off
• Switch debug mode on or off
• Perform checks before starting the comparison; can abort the whole run
• Perform checks before comparing each object; can skip that object
• Carry out actions after comparing each object
• Carry out actions at the end of the comparison; save comparison results grid to file
• Perform checks before starting the update; can abort the whole update
• Perform checks before updating each object; can skip that object; can set an owner for inserted
object to override the owner from the Update dialogue
• Carry out actions after updating each object
• Carry out actions at the end of the update; save update results grid to file

Upgrading from earlier versions

Configurations from earlier versions of Compare/Update require upgrade. A member of team CUADMIN
can trigger an automatic upgrade by opening the Options dialogue. If upgrades are available a prompt will
be displayed to proceed. Once completed a log file will be displayed. This file is stored in the folder
CUConfigs2.0 under the project defaults folder. It will list which configurations have been upgraded or
skipped, along with any warnings.

The upgrade will not overwrite any configurations already defined in the later version. It will first upgrade
available configurations from Engineering 14.1 and then from earlier versions of 12.1.SP4. Note that
configurations with source AVEVA P&ID will require a service port number to be added manually.

HULL DESIGN – Stable multi face RSO reference

Description

In a case where a boundary limit is defined as a reference to an RSO face that face is supposed to be
adjacent to the face of the same RSO defining the panel plane.

However if the RSO is modified it may be that the faces are renumbered and limits defined this way may
get the wrong face number reference giving unpredictable results when regenerating.

The solution is similar to the one for panel plane by RSO face. By giving an axis aligned ray (point)
intersecting the panel plane close to the midpoint of the boundary limit a stable reference to the face can
be created.

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 83 of 497

 Product Release Letter
A coordinate pair in the global coordinate system is given, either (X,Y) or (X,Z) or (Y,Z). These coordinate
pairs will geometrically describe a ray in space. From the intersection between this ray and the panel
plane a point is created that is compared with the RSO face limits defining the panel plane. Provided that
the closest face limit is common to another face, this face is the chosen to form the boundary limit.

From now on the system will automatically update the boundary definition provided the panel plane is
defined via an RSO face number on a multi face RSO. When storing the panel a ray definition will be
created and added to the boundary definition. The direct face number will be kept as information, but the
ray will take precedence.

At storing, if the face number is out of date it will be updated from the ray. Single face RSOs are not
affected by this development.
Benefits

Boundary limits defined by an RSO face reference will be insensitive to RSO face renumbering.
Compatibility Constraints

None.

Marine Drafting – Copy Drawings

Description

There is a new function in the File\Databank menu, “Copy Drawings”. This function can be used to copy
drawings within a project. The drawings will be copied to a specific location pointed out by the user, for
example to a DEPT or a REGI in another database. Normally when you create new drawings in Marine
Drafting they will be automatically placed in a REGI depending on the drawing type and the project setup.
This handling is overridden by this “Copy Drawings” function.

The function can be run interactively or started as a batch job, the latter is recommended for many
drawings or big drawings since the copy function can be a rather heavy operation.
For a complete description please refer to the attachment provided in the Knowledge Base Item 5350 in
AVEVA Helpdesk. Updated user documentation will follow in the next 12.1.SP4 User Documentation
release.

Benefits

Possibility to copy drawings to a specific location for example in another database.

Fabrication support of Bocad Models

Description

The Hull production software has been updated to allow manufacturing of plates and profiles released into
the manufacturing database from Bocad 3D. The following updates are made in Hull:
• Plates and profiles are allowed to be stored with names containing both upper and lower case
characters. PPI and related dialogues are changed accordingly
• The PPI dialogue is updated allowing selection from the work packages available in the
manufacturing database.
• Profiles in the manufacturing database can be stored without a marine end cut code, but instead
with the end cut geometry and significant parameters. The specific information will be used and
transferred into relevant document such as sketches and generic files.
• Plates and profiles in the manufacturing database can be stored without a marine specific bevel
code for edge preparation, but instead with the significant parameters describing the bevel. The
specific information will be transferred into relevant documents used for manufacturing.
• Holes and notches can now exist also on flanges of profiles. Furthermore, holes can be described
as drilled, threaded and sink.
• Profile sketches can be customized to display also the flanges of a profile in orthographic
projections

Benefits

A possibility to use the same manufacturing process for both marine and structural models.

Compatibility Constraints

If old input files with manufacturing part names given with lower-case characters are used, then these
needs to be updated with correct names.

RSO faces shall be made planar and allow the automatic generation of the RSO geometry to subdivide
faces where it is needed. Furthermore, the process to make faces planar is made in a way that points are
moved only in the direction given by the rows in the shape definition. If this is not geometrically possible,
the sub-division of faces will take place.

Marine Drafting – Open Drawing, list “General Drawing”

Description
Before when listing “General drawings” in the “Open Drawing” dialog you could get a long list of
elements that are not “”true” General drawings. The reason for that is that also drawings with an
undefined Marine drawing type were listed under “General drawing”. These were typically drawings
generated via Outfitting Draft. In more detail it meant that SHEET elements with attribute MARPTYPE
1 (General drawing) or 0 (Outfitting Draft generated drawing)

This has now changed. The system will only list SHEET elements where the attribute MARPTYPE=1
under “General drawing” .

In case you still what to access the “Outfitting Draft” generated drawings (with MARPTYPE=0) you will
now have to use the “All Drawings” option, preferably with a name filter since “All Drawings” will list
any SHEET element in the MDB disregarding of drawing type.

Integrator and Compare/Update links become No Claim

In PDMS and Marine 12.1.SP4.Fix17, the Integrator link references have been made no claim.

The reference attributes deslnk, schlnk and englnk are set on the CYMLNK object which is normally
hidden from the end user, and these appear as pseudo attributes on the individual 3D, schematic and
engineering objects.

This enhancement resolves the scenario such as where the engineering user links their object to the
schematic object and then the 3D designer links their object to the schematic object, only to find this
rejected because the CYMLNK was claimed by the other user. The second link action no longer require a
claim of the CYMLNK, and the 3D object will now be linked to both the schematic and engineering
objects. The first user will have the CYMLNK in their claim list since they created it, but this does not

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 95 of 497

 Product Release Letter
prevent the second user from also linking.

Note that it is still necessary for the concurrent users to save and get work in order to see each other’s
changes.

When used in a global project, we recommend that the project administrator creates a variant extract of
the Ref-DESI database for the CYMWRL (Integrator link world) at each location. This will remove the
global extract claim for linking.

The impact with linking is that the last update wins. Following consultation with representative users this
was accepted as reasonable, given that real world scopes of work were unlikely to result in a conflict from
this change.

This enhancement will also be delivered in the future AVEVA Diagrams 14.1, AVEVA Engineering

REVERT Drawing Databases

In this hot fix there are some important changes to admin regarding the admin database operation
REVERT. The fix is improves how external files linked to database element are handled. Before this fix it
was difficult to use REVERT successfully in a PADD database where you store Marine Drafting drawings.
This documentation states what you need to consider if you want to use the new REVERT functionality.

Storing of a Marine Drafting Drawing

Drawings created in Marine Drafting are special in that sense that they not only have data in the PADD
database they have additional information stored in the Marine Drawing object. This object normally has a
lot of data NOT stored in the PADD database. The Marine Drawing object is stored outside PADD in an
external file with .SDB extension. It is crucial that the SDB-files are properly maintained otherwise the
drawings will be corrupted.

Options for Saving Drawings - KEEP_SESSION_FILES

In case you want to use the database operations REVERT you must pay attention to the setting of the
Marine Drafting default keyword “KEEP_SESSION_FILES”. Every time you do “Save Drawing” in Marine
Drafting you will save a new version of the SDB-file. If you want to be able to REVERT you must make
sure you keep every version of the SDB-file by setting KEEP_SESSION_FILES to YES. You must have
used this consistently since you started to save drawings in the database. (For old database where you
don’t know how this setting has been used throughout the lifetime of the database, you should MERGE
CHANGES to get a fresh start).

Keeping all versions of the SDB files may bloat you disc storage. There are ways to clean up among the
SDB-files see below in section “Clean-Up of SDB-files”.

To be able to use the REVERT you must have run Marine Drafting with the drafting default setting
KEEP_SESSION_FILES = YES.

If you have done reverts with old version of Admin to your PADD databases the result is unpredictable
with respect to SDB-files. If you have database for which you don’t know the history with regarding
reverts, you should MERGE sessions to get a fresh start.

Clean-Up of SDB-files

You can clean up obsolete SDB-files in two ways:

1. When using the MERGE CHANGES command in Admin. Merge Changes means that some
session will be deleted and thus some versions of external files connected to the deleted sessions
will be obsolete. The merge command has an option to delete these obsolete external files:
FILEPURGE. See details the admin documentation: Administration\Reference Manual\Command
Details\Detailed Descriptions of Commands\ MERGE CHANGES (Project Administration) >

2. By using a clean-up utility, “RemoveObsoleteSDB”. It can be activated in Marine Drafting or Hull

Design by the command “show !!RemoveObsoleteSDB”. Please see details in <reference:

Description

Compare/Update Changes

Compare/Update now supports compare and import of Instruments from AVEVA Instrumentation to
Design element types Instrument, Equipment and Subequipment. This gives the capability, for example,
to separate instruments into inline, offline mounted, and offline non-mounted.

In order to use this new capability in existing projects it is necessary to replace one of the configuration
files. Delete the file DesignAIConfiguration.xml from the project folder <xxx>dflts\ModelManagement. The
system will subsequently copy the updated file in from the release folder. Any previously defined
configurations based on that combination of source and destination databases will need to be configured
again.

The integration UDA pmg-design-ai should have its element list extended to include types Cable,
Equipment, Instrument and Subequipment.

Compare/Update and Integrator Changes
Merging of partially populated links

In Compare/Update and Schematic 3D Integrator, the Manage Links function to validate links will now
merge partially populated links, e.g. 3D object “A” is linked to schematic object “A” by one link and
schematic object “A” is linked to engineering object “A” by another link, as can occur when links are
created in separate extract databases.

A new PML method has been provided so that links can be validated from the command line. This can be
run using the following syntax:

import 'MMservices'
using namespace 'Aveva.Pdms.MMServices'
!!mmManageLinks = object mmManageLinks()
!!mmManageLinks.validate()

Description

Compare/Update Changes

Compare/Update has some small enhancements in response to project feedback.

• The user is no longer prompted automatically to enter a filter on selecting a data source (for the
case where a filter has not already been defined). The Filters button is now active as soon as a
data source is selected, so a filter can be defined if required, prior to selecting a configuration to
run for comparison.

• On the Update Database form, the defaults for the two check boxes labelled “Update attributes for
linked items” have been changed to be on, so attributes will be updated by default.

• In the Configuration Wizard, attribute mapping can now include PML expressions in place of
source attributes. On the Attribute Mapping screen the source side can now consist of:

o Select an attribute from the dropdown list.

o Type the name of a pseudo attribute.

o Type a PML expression, enclosed in brackets, e.g. (DESC of OWNE). The expression
will not be evaluated at this point but will be evaluated at comparison time against the
source object.

o Type a static value, to set a default value onto a target attribute. Any value entered in this
way will not be validated at this point.

• Hull element type pseudo attributes are now recognised in the Configuration Wizard Attribute
Mapping.

Marking Statement – Additions

Description
The marking statement used on planar panels has been extended to define and handle texts to be
labelled on plate parts in production. The contents of the label, the text height, the text rotation and the
side of the plate can be controlled by the user. The picture below shows the updated statement wizard
dialogue used for marking with the modifications related to the labelling encircled.

 Product Release Letter

The corresponding scheme syntax for marking is updated with new keywords, TXT and THGT, as shown
below.

Labels can be shown in symbolic views if requested. This is controlled by new entries in the dialogue
controlling the properties of the symbolic view (Symbolic View -> Planar Hull View -> Properties).

Benefits
Labelling of texts can be defined and maintained by the production engineer using Planar Hull Modelling.

New Option added for Pipe Fabrication

A new option has been added to the SHEE element of a drawing template as described below.

The value of FUNC can have two options.

FUNC ‘SAME-SCALE;FOUR_VIEWS_OFF’

NOTE.) The ordering is important to use the option.

The option is separated by “;” (semi-colon)

1. SAME-SCALE :
This option is used to make same scale views.

2. FOUR_VIEWS_ON:
Show always four views. All four views are displayed even if the spool is located in one plane.

Marine Drafting – WCOG for Outfitting Models

Description
The dimension function “Weight and COG” in Marine Drafting can be used to calculate WCOG for all or
some models in the view. You select models by selecting subviews in the drawing. A problem is that the
subview levels for outfitting models are not always a level that is relevant for WCOG calculation. For
example: for equipment, the subview can correspond to a TEMPL and not the equipment itself. For pipes
it is the BRAN that is the subview level.

To make this easier there is now a new drafting default keyword:

AUTO_OUTFITTING_LEVEL

It can have the following values:

NO Default. No change in behaviour, as before.

When selecting outfitting subviews the system will
YES always select a “pre-defined” model level no
matter what the subview represents. The pre-

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 110 of 497
 Product Release Letter
define levels are: EQUI, STRU, PIPE, ROOM,
VENT and CWAY. So for the examples given
above: WCOG will be calculated for the
equipment and the pipe although the actual
subviews represent something else (TEMPL and
BRAN).
The new keyword also has a similar effect on the function “Tools/Model/Copy”: For outfitting models you
will copy an EQUI, STRU, PIPE, ROOM, VENT or CWAY disregarding what the subview level represents.

Benefits
It is now easier to create WCOG dimensions for outfitting models and to copy outfitting models between
views.

Description
Piping components and their insulation drawn in the same graphical view

Over the years there have been many requests to provide functionality that allows for both piping
components and their insulation to be drawn in the same graphical view. This has not previously been
possible because insulation is not a separate entity and insulation parameters merely change the physical
size of the component.
In resolving this, we have changed the way in which the attribute ‘Insulation’ of the Representation Style is
used for the Piping Insulation.

• The Insulation flag does not now solely toggle Pipe Insulation On and Off

• The insulation flag continues to work as it did for all other insulation types

• There are two new Representation Style attributes that are used solely for Pipe Insulation.

PINSSTYLE integer/line_pattern the default value is OFF

PINSCOLOUR integer/colour_name

The result of using these new Representation Style attributes is as follows;

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 111 of 497
 Product Release Letter

Fig1 Fig2 Fig3

Fig1. The Tube Flag is ON, the FFSTYLE is set to Solid, the Insulation flag is OFF and PINSSTYLE is
OFF. The result would be the same if the PINSSTYLE was set because the Insulation flag still
controls the toggling of all insulation.

Fig2. The Tube Flag is ON, the FFSTYLE is set to Solid, the Insulation flag is ON, the PINSSTYLE is
set to Dashed and the PINSCOLOUR is set to Blue

Fig3. The Tube Flag is ON, the FFSTYLE is set to Dashed, Insulation flag is ON, the PINSSTYLE is set
to Solid and the PINSCOLOUR is set to Blue.

Notice that the tube is dashed for only those that have insulation. To produce this type of display,
you will need to use two rules, one for the dashed tube and another for the solid tube. The rule for
the dashed tube shown here would contain a criterion such as the following;

USE STYLE /dashed_style FOR ALL BRAN MEM WITH INTHICK NEQ 0

Otherwise, the result would be that all tube were displayed dashed.

Please Note: Drawing both Pipe and Pipe Insulation in the same view means more graphics processing
and it will take longer to produce such a view compared to one that contains just Pipe or just Pipe
Insulation.

Please Note: For examples of DRAFT styles and rules that take advantage of the new features, please
see release 52212.

Multi-Discipline Supports Enhancements
A number of product enhancements have been introduced in MDS at this release. As a result of this, user
application data stored in the MDS/APPDEFAULTS database needs to be updated to take advantage of
these enhancements.

This can be achieved simply by an administrator in the Paragon module by using the “Check MDS
Application Defaults” utility provided in the Utilities menu.

See section entitled: Update Existing Client Project Application Defaults Databases in the Multi-

d80450 24-May-2019  Copyright 2019 AVEVA Solutions Limited Page 115 of 497

Discipline Supports Administrator Guide.

MDS has been enhanced to allow the Unique Naming of Supports, the Designer is prompted to Name
each Support Ancillary. This can be turned off In Paragon by unselecting Unique Support Names on the
Options (2) Tab of the Modify > Application Defaults Form.

Documentation for these enhancements is provided within the following product manuals;

Design Common Functionality User Guide (Support Clashing)

Multi-Discipline Supports User Guide and Multi-Discipline Supports Administrator Guide

(Preliminary Support Conversion, Support Functions, Reference Supports, Compensating Plates,

Add/Remove Toolbar, ABA Location Plan Grid Defaults, Hanger Interface Selection,
User Defined Ancillary Selection Criteria and Hanger Support Creation Zones)

Multi-Discipline Supports – Reference Databases

At release 12.1.SP4 the method in which MDS reference databases (i.e. MDS/CATA) are delivered has
been altered such that the MDS project is no longer supplied with the product.

MDS reference databases are now contained within the MAS project that forms part of the standard
product installation. This change was necessary to ensure on-going compatibility with the core product.

MDS users will need to reset the pointers to the MDS reference databases within their projects and re-
establish these databases within individual MDB’s

User definable content databases such as MDS/APPDEFAULTS and template databases do not need to
be re-associated.

Also defined the variable SBH_HOLEMARK_PART as 50, to increase accuracy of
resulting parts as described in user guide.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround
Solution: Arc tolerance is changed for hull marks to get better representation in views
The marking of hull marks is changed. In case hull marking is plate, then a projection
is made, not development of individual curves within the hull mark.
The generation of the hull mark needs to be redone. New data is added to handle the
process.
Furthermore, in case hull mark name is given as <block>-<name>, the” block” is
picked up from the name and used when creating part names.
Part names are also given a position number automatically, based on the plate
numbering.
Marking on plate now has a correct identification as hull mark and can be highlighted
with colour (and later on with labelling).
The ppanpart process is modified to give correct labels and names. Furthermore, not
necessary messages are removed from the log file.
Interactive ppanparts (right-click in hull modelling) is now working as expected.
Previously it made changes to the hull mark object, preventing it from e.g. being
presented in canvas.

we get wrong information.
The fourth paramenter is always shown as V1, but V1 is an angle and not a length.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Corrected so that parameters A, B, C, D for endcut types 10 and 20 and
parameters A, B, C, D, E, F for endcut type 30 are shown in the profile sketch.

69305, 138100, Symptoms: Various problems with Free Text Marking when presentign on different
75063 154185 sides of the panel.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: The definition data for marking of free texts in panels consists of a point
and an angle (u,v,t) which defines the base line of the text.
Texts are then displayed in views and on plate parts. A problem occurs when a text
shall be presented on the “other side” (e.g. when looking direction is changed on a
view). We cannot present texts mirrored and this wouldn’t be a meaningful
presentation to the user either. Instead, the text needs to be presented in a
readable way.
Normal behaviour is to have the text (or actually the text box) to the left of the base
line vector (of text). However, since transversal structures are normally worked at in
views looking forward, the viewing direction and the normal of the panel are in
opposite directions. The uv coordinate system is "turned". The function to add
marking texts is considering this and presents texts as indicated in the view, but
from a design language perspective (the scheme) it generates texts on the right
side of the base line vector and also possibly using another point within the text box
as starting point for the text.

Symptoms: When using the "Run All" command in the Schema Editor and a
warning is given, the system does not stop at the statement where the warning was
given.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.

105439 226457 Title: If Input decimal point to first place for seam bevel, but the decimal part of
bevel is ignored.
Symptoms: When specifying the bevel for an internal seam as Code, Variant and
e-measure where the e-measure contains a decimal e.g. 10.5, the decimal part is
ignored and truncated (in the example to 10).
Previous/Known workaround: Manually update in the schema file and rerun the
seam.
Solution: The decimal will now remain also after modify etc.
127446 287267 Title: Wrong position of profile types 60 and 70 modelled as stiffeners.
Symptoms: Difference in profile location appear between hull symbolic view and
3D view.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: For profile types 60 and 70 modelled as stiffeners there are no specified
defintion or location point in contrast to pillars. So what is correct in
this case is unclear. Normally those types are made as pillars. The change
made takes into consideration of making least harm to existing customers.
For them the symbolic view is most important and is not changed.
129216 292431 Title: A fatal error occur when deleting the planar panel through Plane Panel
Selection Tool.
Symptoms: The Fatal error only happens when indicating a block that is empty.
Previous/Known workaround: Make sure that the block to indicate contains at

cutout stmt. Manually change to correct profile reference.
Solution: Corrected so references are correctly updated by the system when a
panel is split into two panels.
131601 298831 Title: VUG Notch is not correct on slant case.
Symptoms: When making an VUG corner notch and the corner is not a 90 degree

Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: The VUG notch will get the correct dimension also in case of inclined
boundary condition.
129315 299234 Title: A fatal error occurs when running scheme on WEL statement.
Symptoms: After reverting a knuckled panel into ordinary panel, a refering panel
may crash if only the weld statemetn is executed.
Previous/Known workaround: AS the references are changed, the boundary of
the abutting panel must be changed. As a consequense, also the weld statement
may have to be changed. After the panel has been updated, it will run without
failure.
Solution: If not the workaround is used, an error, 6047 - Panel missing, will be
given.
132574 301019 Title: Long quality name causes an error using statement wizard. Valid for clips
only
Symptoms: See title
Previous/Known workaround: Use shorter quality names.

Symptoms: The weight of the HSTIFF is to correctly calculate for curved stiffeners.
However, the MPROF weight is correct for the curved stiffener.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Corrected so the endcuts will also be taken in consideration when the
stiffener (HSTIFF) is a curved stiffener.

wrong
Symptoms: If SHRINK_HOLES are not included in ppanparts.ip, the holes are
moved in the plate in case of shrinkage is applied.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: When the hole is not to consider any shrinkage, the reference position
was previously as the starting position of the geometry but is now changed to be
the center of hole area which means the hole will keep the position and not be
moved. This is if the ip SHRINK_HOLES is missing in the ppanparts.ip file.

to a single name. Even the resulting Name has more than 24digits then AM simply
store it on Dabacon. The curved hull user is then not able to use that curve. The
system will give a message that the curve does not exists.
Previous/Known workaround: Make sure the surface names in Surface Manager
are short so the combined name is maximum 24 characters.

Symptoms:
When creating or updating dimensionings interactively there is a need for dynamic
highlighting of the result.
E.g. when creating a linear dimensioning, the resulting dimensioning should be
highlighted during each user supplied measure point. This will make it clear for the
user what the result will be.
Previous/Known workaround: N/A
Solution:
Dynamic highlighting has been implemented

-When supplying each measure point in Linear 2d/3d Dimensioning creation

-When locating the dimension line in Linear 2d/3d/Axis Parallel Dimensioning
creation
-When locating the leader line in Radius/Diameter Dimensioning creation
-When moving radius/diameter text in Modify/Dimension/Move Dimension Text
function
-When moving the dimension line in Modify/Dimension/Move Dimension Line
function
-When changing witness line direction in Modify/Dimension/Slant Witness Line
function

Also, some other improvements:

-Snapping to cardinal axis during "Modify/Dimension/Slant Witness Line" now also
in 3D.
-When checking placement for “text outside” in Linear 2d/3d Dimensioning creation,
no need for user to indicate side explicit (during location of dimension line, the hair-
cross position gives the wanted side)
-When creating Axis Parallel dimensioning, side for text is now derived when
locating the dimension line.
-When defining 2D points. the resulting point (not the cursor position) is used for
subsequent dynamic highlighting.

message:
"Error when transforming stiffeners in contour 0!
HULL object ER2-BHD-FR35-1 causes SB-error 6139"
Previous/Known workaround: This happens when not all parameters are given.
The defualt handling of non given paramters are not fully working for those types.

In the documentation the b measure is marked as an optional parameter for endcut

types 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 199, 200 and 201.
This is currently not true; you need to define a valid b-measure (cf. endcut
sketches) to avoid SB-error 6139.
Solution: The interpretation of the end cut parameters for endcut types 191, 192,
193, 194, 195, 196, 199, 200 and 201 have been corrected so that default values

Symptoms: When annotating a ShellX view it is possible to use Annotate -> Hull
Note -> PosNO, to select a single Cstiff and then to drop a PosNo for a Cstiff
simply aside the trace of the Cstiff, instead to create a reference. The direction of
PosNo shall be aligned with the Cstiff trace automatically then. Unfortunately the
system uses the trace's tangent for the END2 of the Cstiff in ShellX view instead
the tangent for the point where the Cstiff was selected before the PosNo has been
dropped. This is causing inconveniences especially i.w.o. the forward and aft
shoulder of the ships surface.
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: The problem has been solved so that the PosNo's are aligned

HCMWLD. This user runs the function (in Curved Hull or Structural Design) Curved
- Model - Recreate. Then - all shell plates are removed from a curved panel. If this
user stores the panel and uses SAVEWORK - the curved panel is destroyed. For a
test case in MAR project - please refer to the attached document.
Solution: The system will now abort both recreate and modify scenarios where
parts are involved if any panel parts are locked/not accessible. This could stop a
possible acceptable operation, but it is the prudent thing to do.

Symptoms: The progress bar is shown also when the amount of objects are small
which is annoying
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: The Progress Bar was introduced in Fix 37 as a UI improvement,
informing the user about the progress when updating design (updating big views
takes a long time, something that user might experience as program is hanging).
The problem for customer now is that the Progress Bar is "unnecessarily"
displayed also for small ammount of model information drawn, resulting in an
annoying "flickering" (the progress bar is visible only for a short period of time).
The solution is to disable Progress Bar when model content is small/moderate.

Number Number
103063, 221179, Title: Unwanted reference to RSO - stiffeners
103064 221180 Symptoms: When creating stiffeners, the user selects intersecting stiffeners
belonging to an adjacent panel. In the case were the adjacent panel is located by
an RSO, the chosen panel name is ignored in favor of using the RSO reference.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually change to the panel name.
Solution: If the picked stiffener belongs to a panel that is noted as a boundary limit,
the panel name will be used. RSO name will onl be used if it is a part of the
boundary.
111442 242432 Title: Free Text information disappears on Hull Editor.
Symptoms: If Free Marking Text has been addd in versions prior to SP4 Fix 40,
they will not be possible to handle in SP4 Fix 40 in either schema editor or
statement wizard..
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Corrected so marking text will be handled in both schema and wizard.
106432 228735 Title: Stiffener same as – quality and other parameters not read correctly
Symptoms: When creating a new stiffener, selecting it as “same as” allows to read
properties of an already existing stiffener and to fill the wizard menu with this
information. Information of the stiffeners quality, end cut parameter of end cut 2
and bevel info are not read correctly, when doing so.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually fill in the correct parameters.
Solution: Quality and endcut parameters will now be read and filled in correctly.
108042 232358 Title: Overlap bracket is intersecting the shell profile.
Symptoms: When making an overlap bracket (syntax 5), the bracket is intersecting
the profile.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: This happens when the overlap bracket is modeled against a shell profile
that is not twisted. The issue is corrected so also brackets attached to straight shell
profiles wil lbe correctly placed.
108850 235662 Title: Shell Plate Compensation does not work on STB
Symptoms: A planar panel on SB side is not correctly attached to the shell plates.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Planar panels defined on SB side and that is not defined in any principal
plane will get a wrong surface reference if Shell Plate Compensation is used.
This is now corrected.
To get correct result, the panel boundary must be changed, i.e. at least one
bondary should be modified, save panel and then modify the boundary back to
original.
241622 Title: Interval list for bevel in clips are not correctly turned.
Symptoms: The bevels for a macro clip is not at the correct interval.
Previous/Known workaround: This can happen when a clip is defined in
clockwise direction.
The clip should always be defined in a counter clockwise direction but if it is not, the
system will turn it so the resulting clip will be correct. To avoid that the beels are in
the wrong intervals, the wrongly defined macro should be corrected to describe the
clip in counter clockwise direction.
Solution: The system has been updated tyo also turn the interval list
(INTERVALLIST_2D) in case the clip is defined in the wrong direction.

107854 231982 Title: Text in shell plate views not positioned correctly, is in wrong plate on SB
Symptoms: Putting PS and SB Shell plates into an ISO view in the drawing and
add Shell plate names via properties, they are on PS, presented inside the Shell
plate, but on SB outside the Shell plate at the boundary to the next plate. In the
middle plate the names overlap.
This is then not readable any more and the SB names also confuse as it is not
clear which plate is meant.

109656 237757 Title: CHM – XML - Seam on general cylinder – wrong tangent definition
Symptoms: When exporting a seam by a general cylinder to XML the tangent
conditions are written as radiant measures. The value for the tangent condition at
end 2 is wrong. Further there are written two decimals only, resulting in a significant
reduction of accuracy.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: The tangent values has been corrected and the tangent conditions are
written with 6 decimals in the XML output file.
109658 237759 Title: Modify seam on general cylinder – tangent definitions not read
Symptoms: When creating a seam by a general cylinder it is possible to control
the tangent conditions of both end points of directrix. But the definition of tangent
conditions is not read from model and not shown in definition form when trying to
modify a seam defined by a general cylinder.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists
Solution: The tangent conditions are now read and shown in the definition form
when modifying the cylinder curve.
109660 237777 Title: Seam on general cylinder – second tangent wrongly interpreted

Plan view.
Symptoms: In a section view of a shell profile where a non varying bevel type is
choosen by the system, the foot point of the profile is adjusted. This will show a
wrong picture of the profiles.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: This is now corrected. Basic problem is that the section view of the shell
stiffener is moved as if the variable SBH_PROFPT_ADJUST was defined (which it
is not in this project).
Views must be recreated.
If a bevel of a non varying type is choosen due to the varying conditions, the
variable SBH_PROFPT_ADJUST can be used if needed.

106500 228900 Title: SBH_SHSTI_DEF_CON does not apply when splitting the shell profile by
plane panel.
Symptoms: SBH_SHSTI_DEF_CON does not apply when splitting the shell profile by
Plane Panel or RSO or Shell Profile.
Previous/Known workaround: Connection codes can be modified in Shell
Stiffener form.
Solution: The original implementation of the default handling was intentional. Not
all connection types are valid for all types of connections.
However, it is now implemented so SBH_SHSTI_DEF_CON is used for all five
connections valid in Split Shell Stiffener.
There might then be error signaled from the system that the wrong connection type
is used. This can be avoided by setting the environment variable
SBH_CONNCODE_NOCHECK to any value. This will then override the check and
the shell stiffeners will be updated. User may have to modify the stiffener
connection manually afterwords.

/R_MIN=30
/WIDTH
/ARC=6 /REF=4
/GAP=3 /DIST=30
/GAP=4 /REF=6
/GAP=5 /DIST=30;
Radius 4 (and 6 ) are calculated as maximum (0.25*WIDTH, 30) and this is OK .
GAP 4 should be same as radius 6, but system calculate it as RAD + R_MIN.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.

applied to the component rather than the weld. If the component is not loose then
the excess is applied to the weld.
94698 202383 Title: Fabrication Check - Incorrect Bend Program with Loose Excess
Symptoms: A problem occurs with the Length Inside/Length Outside/Bending Act
values when the spool has a Loose component and requires a 50mm excess.
Previous/Known workaround:
Solution: ArriveExcess is already added to the ArriveTubeLength in
InitializeCheckResult of PFFabricationMachineManager
LeaveExcess is already added to the LeaveTubeLength in InitializeCheckResult of
PFFabricationMachineManager. Hence while calculating the Machine Outside
Length in the CheckInsertionLength in PFFabricationMachineManager, the
ArriveExcess/LeaveExcess are excluded. Also while calculating the
bendingActivities, the feed is calculated by excluding ArriveExcess/LeaveExcess.
Bending Arrive Excess and Bending Leave Excess are considered when
calculating the Machine Outside Length in the CheckInsertionLength in
PFFabricationMachineManager. Bending Arrive Excess and Bending Leave
Excess are also considered when lculating BendingActivities in
GetBendingActivities of PFBendingMachine.
95174 203333 Title: We don't handle expressions being used for the UWEI attribute when
calculating the FTUB weight of a pipe end
Symptoms: Some customers use expressions to calculate the UWEI attribute
when calculating the FTUB weight for a pipe end. As a result this would fail and the
incorrect weight would be supplied.
Previous/Known workaround: Use actual values rather than expressions
Solution: We now parse the expressions correctly and they can now be used in
the calculation process. Additionally, other changes are required to update the
piping specs, property database and the FTUB dataset in order for these weights of
a pipe end to be calculated correctly. These macros should have been released
along with the fix and instructions for running them should have been included.
97297 208772 Title: Modifying welds does not report incorrect stype
Symptoms: Users are not warned if the incorrect stype is used when modifying the
weld
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: We now inform the user during weld modificaiton if we are unable to
update the spec, as the STYP being used is not defined in the spec.
97300 208786 Title: 12.1.SP4.34 - PF - Setting Spool Limits Fails on Unconnected Tee
Symptoms: It is not possible to set the Spool Limits on a Tee if the p3 of the Tee is

86502 184584 Title: Pipe Spool Drawing Form - Preview is Poor
Symptoms:
Previous/Known workaround:
Solution: This fix should make the preview a little more reliable and replace the old
plot file format. By using a PDF viewer all of the print and print preview options are
now available and remove the need for the old PDMS plot viewer.
The old preview showed PDMS plot files (.plt) which didn't support truetype fonts so
the preview files were incomplete resulting in this defect. This fix addresses the
plot file problem in PDMS by producing PDF files and replacing the plot file viewer
with the standard PDF viewer.
In Marine, the output is the same as it was, because Marine Drafting produces TIFF
files rather than PDF. Tiff files are viewed using Windows Photo Viewer.
In both Marine and Plant products the plot files are now placed in a directory
named by the spool drawing creation form and the old PDMSUSER/Preview
directory no longer exists.
Note1: To view PDF files, a suitable PDF viewer must be installed if it is not already
present and this must be able to open PDF files by double clicking on it.
Note2: A problem with PDF viewers is that the user cannot overwrite a PDF file
which is already open so the preview mechanism makes a copy of the main plot file
and puts it into a preview directory in the PDMSWK area. The situation of having
multiple copies of the same file open still exists so the user may notice a version
number in the file name of the PDF viewer.
This should only exist if multiple previews of the same file are open at once.

86515 184620 Title: Wrong LSTU is being used for welds created
Symptoms: The wrong LSTU was being selected for welds
Previous/Known workaround: Set the LSTU manually
Solution: We now check the LSTU of the component the weld is for and use that
LSTU for the weld.
86519 184645 Title: LSTU is unset for certain welds
Symptoms: LSTU was not being set for some welds during weld creation
Previous/Known workaround: Set the LSTU manually.
Solution: We now select the LSTU based on the component that the weld was
created for.
87265 188374 Title: Weld Gaps on Branch tees
Symptoms: NA
Previous/Known workaround: NA
Solution: Added a condition for tee when the arrive and leave positions of tube are
in reverse order, so that weld will be created.
89762 192248 Title: Cannot Create a Spool Limit Using a Weld at P3 of Tee.
Symptoms:
Previous/Known workaround:

91234 196097 Title: Weld handling uses specific 'STYP' values rather than reading them from the
backstage
Symptoms: Weld handling was set up to only use 'hardcoded' values for the
STYPs rather than reading them from the defaults set up in Pipe Fabrication
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: We now check the STYP each of the weld types from the backstage and
attempt to select a weld based on that STYP rather than the 'hardcoded' value.
91992 197633 Title: Pipe Fabrication, When adding user feed, status for a validated pipe is not
reset
Symptoms: None
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: Invalidating pipe pieces of that particular pipe when feed excess changes
between two components (Especially Bends).
92490 198389 Title: Welds are not created for TESO elements that have LOFF set to TRUE
Symptoms: Welds are not create for TESO elements that have LOFF set to TRUE
Previous/Known workaround: Create welds manually
Solution: We were preventing this for some reason in the code. We have now
removed the code for this case so that welds are created normally.
92494 198400 Title: Piping - Cannot Create NSBC On Pipe with Welds
Symptoms: None standard branch connections failed on branches with
components with unset lstu.
Previous/Known workaround: set the lstu and try again
Solution: Now the weld handling select lstu every time and the pipe intersection
object handles no lstu correctly.
93751 200324 Title: Pipe Fabrication, Mutiple Spools - wrong feedback to user when "Create..."
Symptoms: The highlight os the spool limits is incorrect, spool limits are not
considered
Previous/Known workaround:
Solution: The highlighting of the spool limits selected while adding to the spool
drawing needs to be fixed by considering the attributes say AsfBreak, LsfBreak
along with CsfBreak.
Code change has been made to the pfevaluatespoolmember.pmlobj in highlighting
the selected spool limits.
93752 200331 Title: Pipe fabrication, adding spool limits (no weld) - ghost limit may be displayed
Symptoms: when user adds spool limit a ghost spool limit is being displayed at the
other end of the tubi. Please check the attached video for the better understanding
of the scenarion.
Previous/Known workaround:
Solution: Code has been corrected in the method "ShowSpoollimits" of
pfModifySpool.pmlfrm to avoid adding the spool limit at the incorrect place
(appearing of the "ghost spool limit").
93968 200746 Title: Modify Spool Form - Aid Behaviour
Symptoms: NA
Previous/Known workaround: NA
Solution: removed the lines of code that unenhances and clear aids of previous
functionalities when set machine Insertion Direction is selected.
94077 200961 Title: Errors whilst opening Weld Handling form as welds were not able to be
renamed
Symptoms: Welds that are created are named according to the weld number that
they are assigned (unless the autonaming rule states otherwise). In some cases
customers were then changing the number of these welds manually leading to
conflicts in assigning new names andweld numbers.
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: We now no longer attempt to rename/renumber welds that have already
been assigned a name/number. This is to prevent duplicate names/weld numbers
being used.

94315 201438 Title: Unable to determine which Galvanization Tank was used to check certain
elements
Symptoms: Using the Galvanization tank check form, a user is unable to tell which
tank was used to check the element.
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: We have created a new attribute that stores what tank was used to
check the element. This is then shown on the form so the user is aware which tank
was used to check the element.
94398 201753 Title: No warning displayed to a user if they attempt to assign an excess to an
element that already has an excess
Symptoms: A user can easily override any excess that are currently set on a
component.
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: We have added a warning so that when the user attempts to change the
excess on a component using the appware that if one already exists they will
override the current setting.
94497 201974 Title: The Search Within option on the Multiple Spool form are not working correctly
Symptoms: While picking elements for adding to spool, elements from different
multiple pipes are allowed for picking eventhough the "Search Within" option is set
to "pipe".
Previous/Known workaround:
Solution:
1. In the "Multiple Spool" form The "Search Within" option box is grayed out as
soon as the user selects spool functions "Add to Spool Drawing by Pick" and
"Remove from Spool Drawing by Pick". The same "Search Within" will be become
active after the Addition or removing of spool functions are completed.
2. The Piperefs, branRefs,etc are nullified after the merging of selected elements to
Spools, hence they can be freshly initialised for every new Spool function.
3. pfsplitmergespools.pmlfrm and pfspooler.pmlobj are modified.
94640 202243 Title: Some fitting to fitting welds will not be created using the 'by pick option'
Symptoms: When using the 'create welds by pick' option, some fitting to fitting
welds would not be created.
Previous/Known workaround: Create welds manually
Solution: These cases were never taken into account when using the 'create
welds by pick' option. As a result we have had to add these cases to 'create welds
by pick' functionality.
94693 202372 Title: Finished Lengths were being calculated incorrectly (1mm out per bend)
Symptoms: The bend length of bends are being calculated incorrectly. This leads
to the finished lengths being off by 1mm per bend in the pipe that is being checked.
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: We now use the FitLen attribute to determine the length of a bend.
94698 202383 Title: Fabrication Check - Incorrect Bend Program with Loose Excess
Symptoms: A problem occurs with the Length Inside/Length Outside/Bending Act
values when the spool has a Loose component and requires a 50mm excess.
Previous/Known workaround:
Solution: ArriveExcess is already added to the ArriveTubeLength in
InitializeCheckResult of PFFabricationMachineManager
LeaveExcess is already added to the LeaveTubeLength in InitializeCheckResult of
PFFabricationMachineManager
Hence while calculating the Machine Outside Length in the CheckInsertionLength
in PFFabricationMachineManager, the ArriveExcess/LeaveExcess are excluded.
Also while calculating the bendingActivities, the feed is calculated by excluding
ArriveExcess/LeaveExcess.

calculating the FTUB weight of a pipe end
Symptoms: Some customers use expressions to calculate the UWEI attribute
when calculating the FTUB weight for a pipe end. As a result this would fail and the
incorrect weight would be supplied.
Previous/Known workaround: Use actual values rather than expressions
Solution: We now parse the expressions correctly and they can now be used in
the calculation process. Additionally, other changes are required to update the
piping specs, property database and the FTUB dataset in order for these weights of
a pipe end to be calculated correctly. These macros should have been released
along with the fix and instructions for running them should have been included.

36531 63392 Title: Default Attribute IgnDUnion:True
Symptoms: Request to set IgnDUnion as True by defaults.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround
Solution: New Marine Drafting default keyword "VIEW_IGNORE_DUNION" was
introduced.
It controls the value set to the attribute IGNDUNIO when a view is created.
If VIEW_IGNORE_DUNION is set to “NO” than the IGNDUNIO attribute is set to
FALSE.
“YES” means that the attribute is set to TRUE.
54860 93586 Title: Problem with special characters
Symptoms: Using $- and @-values to fill up the text in drawing form properties
sometimes gives wrong result when special characters are used (e.g. "Ö").
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Texts containing "special" characters (like "Ö") will be handled correctly
when inserted in form.
72430 147465 Title: Readonly mode does not work at MarAPI
Symptoms: Drawing is claimed when opening as Read Only via API.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: There is a new marapi function called DwgOpenAsCopy:
DwgOpenAsCopy( String DwgName, String CopyDwgName, Real CopyDwgType)
Input Arguments:
1. DwgName - Name of drawing to copy and open.
3. CopyDwgName - Name of drawing copy.
4. CopyDwgType - Drawing type of the new copy. Can be give as "DwgType". Note
that "-1" has the meaning "same type as the source drawing".
The function only works for drawings stored in the PADD database (therefore there
is no drawing type argument for the source drawing, it is fully identified by its name)
(DwgOpenAsCopy is only implemented in MARAPI and not in Vitesse).
73049 149341 Title: 3D Event Point Snapping
Symptoms: Request the ability to customize which 3D Event Points the user is
allowed to select with 3D Event snapping to reduce the risk of errors (e.g. molded
vs. non-molded side of thickness).
Previous/Known workaround: -----
Solution: A new "picking filter" for hull models is implemented. It can be activated
by setting the new drafting default keyword "HULL_PPOINT_PLINE_PICKING" to
"MouldSideOnly". This will reduce the number of p-points and p-lines in the 3D
point modes "event points".
74214 152640 Title: Give explicit target DEPT/REGI in various Marine Drafting functions
Symptoms: Using e.g. Import SDB function in Planar Hull Modelling / Drafting to
Import exported SDB files is working in a way, that the imported SDB will always be
stored by default in general drawing database. There is no way to give explicit
REGI.
Previous/Known workaround: Import drawing and then move it to the correct
REGI by using Save As...
Solution: It is now possible to give explicit REGI in these Marine Drafting functions:
- New drawing: Interactively + API
- Save As: Interactively + API
- Save Subpicture: Interactively + API
- Copy drawings: Interactive/Batch (already exists) + API
- Copy Assist: New import option: LocationOwner = Automatic / As Source
This option is controlled by a new environment variable, "SBD_OWNING_REGI". If
"AUTO", owner is set automatically as today, if "MANUAL", the user can select
target REGI for the drawings. If a target REGI is not given in this case, then the
drawings are placed automatically.

Pipe Fabrication:

57962 98333 Title: Fabrication Check Showing Incorrect Results

Symptoms: If a branch on the spool is too short for the welding machine incorrect
results are shown on the fabrication check. Some results are related to manual
welding, despite the component in question not being manually welded. A flange
nominated as machine welded is not being shown correctly. There is no excess
allowing for some welding processes.
Known workaround: None
Solution: There were no warning being produced if no valid welding machine was
found, hence why some results were shown as being manually welded, there is
now a warning added if this is the case. The wrong positions on the arrive.leave
components were being used when calculating pipe lengths which lead to incorrect
results, this has now been rectified and the calculations are done correctly. Added
an additional check as part of the fabrication check to see if a flanges length is
valid for a manual/machine weld which was previously not done leading to
incorrect results being displayed.
60576 107309 Title: Weld Handling Deletes Spool Limits
Symptoms: Welds are not being numbered correctly they are either being
renumbered completely, or not retaining their current weld number. Spool limits are
being deleted via the weld handling form when we may not want to delete them
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: If "append weld number" on the form is checked we will append weld
numbers to new welds/spool limits. If "append weld number" on the form is
unchecked we will renumber all of the welds on the element when "create all welds
for ce" is hit. This will preserve any existing spool limits, and renumber them
accordingly. When we delete welds from the weld handling form, the user is now
presented with an option to delete all welds, or to delete all welds excluding the
spool limit welds.

representation may still be seen.
87111 185976 Title: Pipe sketch dimensions on pipe spools with weld gaps
Symptoms: A pipe sketch with modeled welds shows dimensions to the welds
instead of overall dimensions.
Previous/Known workaround: ManualEditing
Solution: The weld components are no longer dimensioned.
87110 185993 Title: ATTA dimensioning should not appear on pipe sketches
Symptoms: Extra dimensions are seen at ATTA positions and the dimension
continuity is incorrect.
Previous/Known workaround: Manual removal in draft
Solution: These dimensions are no longer drawn.
88187 188737 Title: Plotting Icons Not Appearing On Previews

90647 194382 Title: WeldGap Config Fails in Imperial
Symptoms: If a user is using imperial units rather than metric the WeldGap
Config form is unable to store any results entered and read them back in.
Previous/Known workaround: Create all of the configs using a Metric format
and then swap over to an Imperial format. The reason we have this problem is
because some of the conversions from Imperial to Metric are slightly out (~0.1-
0.3mm) resulting in errors as the numbers don't match up. If we create the configs
in a metric format however, and then use an Imperial format after they have been
created the metric values will be converted correctly.
Solution: We store the current units and swap the units to mm during the creation
of the WeldGap configs due to the DDSE element of the config having to be stored
in a metric format. Once this element has been created we restore the previous
units and continue with the previous operation.

Symptoms: All distances within a single text or label are given the same units, it is
not possible for example to have one in metres and another in mm
Previous/Known workaround: Split the intelligent text into two labels or text
elements with different units
Solution:The Intelligent Text 'Alternate Units' can now be specified as well as the
principal units, so you can have two sets of units in the same text s or label (e.g. m
and mm).
For example:
On the LAYERr:
UCODE MM DIST METRE ALT DIST

170867 Title: Scheme cannot be updated using ‘Direct’ option
Symptoms: The Update button is disabled when trying to update a schema line in
the Statement wizard.
Previous/Known workaround: The problem is that the statement somewhere
(e.g. in a comment) a lower case letter. By purge vs slicechanging all text to upper
case letters, the button will be enabled.
Solution: Corrected so the Update button will be available in all cases.
83474 177859 Title: Impossible to modify a position number of a clip
Symptoms: When using a named clip (in a Cutout), teh fields for position number
is dimmed and cannot be changed.

one, knuckle.
86013 186420 Title: Bracket Toe
Symptoms: For bracket syntax 7 type KL is impossible to change toe height at the
end of arm A by giving parameter C. Giving parameter D for toe height at arm B
works fine.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Modified so that C measure will affect the toe height.
87044 188175 Title: AUTO Bevel to consider GAP for MSI=TOP, BOT
Symptoms: When the GAP rule is in effect, there is no way to get the negative
bevel in case connection angle is negative.
Previous/Known workaround: Define rules for angles instead of GAP.
Solution: Corrected so the system will automatically change the bevel code sign
incase the connection angle is negative.
88325 189631 Title: Adding expression 'MNG' in hole statement by hand
Symptoms: when adding the keyword MNG to a hole that is not a managed hole,
this hole is locked and cannot be removed.

Solution: Correction has been made to prohibit to give MNG for a none managed
hole and to prevent removing it.
89130 190795 Title: New panels cannot be created any more in single view mode
Symptoms: IF Hull Modeling default GEN_VIEW=SINGLE, when a new view is
added, it is not possible to create new panels via Statement Wizard. System
freezes.
Previous/Known workaround: Set GEN_VIEW to ALL.
Solution: Corrected so Statement Wizard will continue as expected when single
view is used.
89172 190900 Title: Old Views have now limits 500000 since fix 26
Symptoms: Symbolic Views created previous to SP4.Fix.26 has limit values
500000.
Previous/Known workaround: Have no practical meaning but can be confusing
and disturbing in-hous programming.
Solution: The value 500000 was previous Fix.26 supressed and is now fixed to be
supressed again.

88689 189720 Title: Curved Panel View show incorrect END2 of all cstiffs
Symptoms: Gap defined at END1 of a stiffener belonging to a Curved Panel is
shown also at END2, even if there is no gap defined. This does not depend on how
the gap is defined, explicitly or by connection code.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: The problem has been solved so that the gap of stiffener end 2 gets
correct also in the curved panel view.
88691 189724 Title: Cstiff split, only CON=40
Symptoms: It is not possible to control the default connection code when splitting
shell profiles.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually modify the connection on each shell
stiffener.
Solution: A new environment variable, SBH_SHSTI_DEF_CON, can be used to
set the default connection code for Shell Stiffeners. This will be used when new
shell stiffeners are created. If not defined, connection code 40 will be used.
88690 190427 Title: Shell expansion views show stiffening always on CL-side of the surface
Symptoms: Profiles created on the outside surface is shown as inside in the
ShellX draing.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.

Symptoms: Missing possibillity to redefine the default setting of Strip control.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually change for each plate.
Solution: New default keyword, PDV_STRIP_CTRL, is added. Possible values
are: "PrinciplePlane" (default), "Perpendicular" and "Distributed".
89521 191678 Title: Modification of individual cstiffs not correct!
Symptoms: When many shell Stiffeners are activated and modification is per shell
stiffener, the function stops if one of the stiffeners has no changes (ok is presses
without any changes in any fields).
Previous/Known workaround: Activate one stiffener at the time.
Solution: Corrected so the function will continue with the next stiffener in any case.

Hull Structural Design:

Incident Issue Description

Number Number
85361 181931 Title: Dividing panels with errors
Symptoms: Various strange errors are in a model after using Structural Design -
Divide into blocks.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: A number of enhancements are made to the block division process
eliminating all the main problems. The enhancements are also in effect for the split
panel function.
87002 185583 Title: FE Modeler- Surface and Planar Panel on the same location
Symptoms: If there is Surface and planar panel at the same location ,system can
not seperate each other and creates double Shell elements on top of each other.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround.
Solution: Note that this is only applicable in the rare case that a planar panel is
located in a surface and defined with LOC='[SURFACENAME]' and a 3D-point (the
latter is used to get the surface normal in/near that point to define the panel plane).
When a planar panel is defined in the described way and processed by the FE
Modeller all panel components are handled as usual - except the plates - and the
thickness for the surface shell elements is fetched from the panel plates. This will
avoid duplicated elements.

82809 176159 Title: DWGPurge() does not do the same as the interactive function
Symptoms: It does not do the same as the interactive Function "Tools, Inspect
Drawing, Purge".
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: To get same behavior in DwgPurge compared to interactive function
Tools/Inspect Drawing/Purge, one requirement is that customer have the same
settings for MODEL_SUBVIEW_PURGE and MODEL_VIEW_PURGE also when
invoking DwgPurge. This is customers responsibility to check this.

Moreover, to be able to have same behavior regarding the handling of totally sliced-
away model subviews, an optional parameter "PreserveSlice" has been added to
DwgPurge (and DwgPurgePML):

Should model subviews, totally sliced-away be preserved ?

= 0 No
= 1 Yes (default value)
The value of "PreserveSlice" should correspond to what was ordered during
interactive transform (here the user is explicitly asked how to treat sliced-away
model subviews)
83435 177668 Title: DXF export doesn't export some subpictures
Symptoms: Some subpictures are missing in the export.
Previous/Known workaround: Try defining the variable
DXFOUT_EXPLODE_DIM.
Solution: Corrected so the missing subpictures are exported.
84050 178849 Title: Enhancement to show Evaluated Text at first in Modify dimension.
Symptoms: When you modify to Dimension Text, evaluated text showed first.
Previous/Known workaround: Original text is showed first. Select “Option” to see
evaluated text.
Solution: The issue is solved by remembering from where the predefined text
(original or evaluation) was fetched, troughout the session. This means that:
1. The first time the function "Edit dimension text" is used, the predefined value is
initially fetched from original text
2. The following times the function is used, the predefined value is initially fetched
from last used source.
84912, 180974, Title: Problem not to verify the models to newly add the symbolic view at the
86031 183504 attached drawing.
Symptoms: View ID's sometimes get's corrupt and the system does not recognize
the view as a Model View.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Check and repair if View ID's will now be done automatically whenever a
drawing is opened (File/Open, SHEET/Open, MarApi DwgOpen, Import SDB).
86419 185061 Title: Defect of Note
Symptoms: Aligned multi line texts on note return to default after move the note.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually rearrange the note after it has been

87009 185609 Title: After recreate Shell expansion view, Part seams are disappear.
Symptoms: After recreating a shell expansion view it could happen that some
seams disappeared.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround.
Solution: The problem has been solved so that some seams are not disappearing
after recreating a Shell expansion view.
87338 186289 Title: SVIEW_LT_COL - STI_ABUT_TS and STI-ABUT_OS are not working
Symptoms: The statements for LT object STI_ABUT_TS and STI-ABUT_OS are
not working.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Corrected so Line type for abutting stiffeners is handled via the LT
object.
186324 Title: Copy Drawing - give explicit new name to drawing copy
Symptoms: Improvement to existing interactive/batch Copy Drawing function
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround.
Solution: It is now possible to give an explicit drawing name when copying a
drawing in interactive mode, in batch mode and using a MarAPI method. All of
these three options only works at SHEE or DRWG levels.

The "Copy Drawing" dialogue has been updated with a new field to give the explicit
name. If given, the prefix/suffix fields for the drawing are disabled.

The batch function has a new keyword, "newdwgname" to give a drawing an

explicit name. This is optional to the user.

A new MarAPI method has been implemented, "dwgcopy", which takes three
arguments; name of source drawing, name of target registry and explicit name of
new drawing. If an empty string is input as new explicit name, then autonaming is
used (old name with prefix or suffix).
87412 186529 Title: Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs cannot be picked or have their
own representation
Symptoms: Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs, unlike FLOORs and
PANEls, always get their representation from their owner elements and cannot be
given their own representation rules, nor can they be picked.
Previous/Known workaround: Labels can be placed manually against
penetrations eg using the syntax "ON <penetration-design-element>
Solution: Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs now behave like those under
FLOORs and PANEls, so any representation rule that affects the corresponding
design element will be applied. The penetration will also be pickable, but only
where it corresponds to a design or catalog entity for which ppoints are defined.
Note that representation rules do not distinguish between negatives and positives,
so if an element under the SCTN or STWALL has both, the penetration and the
standard geometry will pick up the same representation.
87830 187661 Title: department without a name created in PADD database, where it should give
the warning
Symptoms: When there is no department in PADD database, system creates a
nameless department and registry
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: The problem is fixed:
1. The system behaves the same way if you remove the drawing type in the "New
Drawing" dialog.
2. You will get a message "Failed to persist the new drawing in the PADD
database" instead of having a new drawing in an unnamed dept/regi.

over.
Symptoms: When you export the drawing file who has one or some Assembly
views to import to other project, these view has been changed from Assembly
View to Design View in the imported project.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Corrected so Design Reuse makes sure that the assembly info stored in
drawing view is updated as according to target project. The assembly name
(ref)used as source in HSV creation in source project should be changed as
according to target project at import. This presumes a proper rename script for
assemblies as required by Design Reuse.

81832 176121 Title: Admin - SCOPE of ALL FOR BLOCK not working as expected
Symptoms: When trying to create an ACR for a basic Hull designer, who has a
SCOPE of all elements for a BLOCK and below. The ROLE is provding access for
ALL elements and the SCOPE is defined as ALL FOR BLOCK. However, the result
is access to all elements below the BLOCK but not the BLOCK itself.
Previous/Known workaround: As a work-around, you can adjust my SCOPE to
ALL, and create a ROLE-PEROP for BLOCK HIERAR but this may cause issues in
the future.
Solution: Code has been changed to include the element when creating the
secondary hierarchy. This was the cause of the problem. The BLOCK definition is
defined with the SECOLL set which means to just use the secondary hierarchy.

87412 186529 Title: Draft - Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs cannot be picked or have
their own representation
Symptoms: Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs, unlike FLOORs and
PANEls, always get their representation from their owner elements and cannot be
given their own representation rules, nor can they be picked.
Previous/Known workaround: Labels can be placed manually against
penetrations eg using the syntax "ON <penetration-design-element>
Solution: Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs now behave like those under
FLOORs and PANEls, so any representation rule that affects the corresponding
design element will be applied. The penetration will also be pickable, but only
where it corresponds to a design or catalog entity for which ppoints are defined.
Note that representation rules do not distinguish between negatives and positives,
so if an element under the SCTN or STWALL has both, the penetration and the
standard geometry will pick up the same representation.

84942 181040 Title: NOC noch can not be defined on three edges bracket(EDGE_3)
Symptoms: Trying to add a NOC notch to a 3 edge bracket, fails.
Previous/Known workaround: no known workaround exists.
Solution: Fixed so NOC can be given for the 3 edge bracket.
85088 181239 Title: Cannot create a bracket of BMB type via syntax 8.
Symptoms: Using a BMB bracket in other syntaxes works fine but when using
syntax 8, the system respond with an error message sayng "16117 - Unknown toe
type of bracket...Modify?"
Previous/Known workaround: Make a copy of the BMB bracket in
sbh_bracket_ctrl and call it something else (e.g. BMB8) and use this bracket in
syntax 8.
Solution: Corrected so BMB can be used also in syntax 8.
85093 181240 Title: Cannot define the material side for curved stiffener.
Symptoms: Old planar panel schemas containing a curved stiffener where MSI
keyword is included, cannot be run in AVEVA Marine 12.1.
Previous/Known workaround: Remove the keyword MSI from the statement.
Solution: A correction is made so the system will not give any error for this. The
keyword MSI has no (and will not have) effect on curved planar stiffeners.
85648 182748 Title: The highlight colour of the selected Panel Bracket does not show as a whole.
Symptoms: When indicate a Panel Bracket in the Statement Wizard, only one

85090, 181434, Title: Idealize Model(CAT-object does not exist)
85087, 181437, Symptoms: Varius issues in Idealization Model
85111, 181446, Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround.
85148 181447 Solution: Improvements have been made in the idealisation process especially in
the handling of panel boundaries. Idealised panels which fail to verify are no longer
deleted. The original boundary contour is restored even if this is not the proper
idealised contour. This is at least something that the user can modify afterwards
and it avoids unnessecary errors in referring panels.
85091, 181436, Title: Idealize Block Model inc KN Panel – Idealize Model is not created properly
85107 181443 Symptoms: Knuckled Panel not handled when idealizing a block.
Previous/Known workaround: Keep short names on sub-panels.
Solution: The check for long names in the Idealisation Settings dialogue has been
extended to subpanels to avoid this issue.
85149 181438 Title: Idealize Model – Class: GeoVector3 D: Vector is too short – Fatal error
Symptoms: System aborts during Idealization with a Fata error message: Vector is
too short.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Some code has been added that checks during the idealisation if a
stiffener is so short that the stiffener ends might coincide after being snapped to the
panel limits, other stiffener ends etc. That will avoid the observed crash.

Symptoms: when giving an angle (A) in the bevel statement using a bevel type 25
(fillet version of V-joint), the resulting part is too small.
Previous/Known workaround: Possible workaround is to add excess to the limit
but this must be manually calculated each time.
Solution: Corrected so the system automatically calculates the extension/reduction
of the plate automatically.
75180 154530 Title: Enhanced Pin Jig Drawing
Symptoms: The automatic created Pin Jig Drawing might sometimes be messy.
Unfortuantly the flat structure of it makes it very difficult to do touch-up.
Known workaround: None.
Solution: The Pin Jig drawing has been enhanced in two ways;
-The drawing has a structure enabling move of e.g. the coordinate axis including
the values.
-The dimensioning are now persited enabling the use of dimensioning modification
functionality.

86421 184412 Title: Part size with Autobevel is different according to Node definition(ex.+,- value
for Basic bevel Type
Symptoms: Using e.g. bevel type 17 where the NOSE factor is negative (e.g. -0.5),
the plate size is not correct. There is no problem when the NOSE factor is positive.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists. If NOSE is defined
as -0.5, then the recommendation is to use +0.5 since this gives the same and
correct end result.
Solution: Corrected so when NOSE factor is negative, the calculated plate has the
correct with/length.

Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Corrected so no part of the hatch pattern is outside the indicated area.
73049 149341 Title: 3D Event Point Snapping
Symptoms: Request the ability to customize which 3D Event Points the user is
allowed to select with 3D Event snapping to reduce the risk of errors (e.g. molded
vs. non-molded side of thickness).
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround.
Solution: A new "picking filter" for hull models is implemented. It can be activated
by setting the new drafting default keyword "HULL_PPOINT_PLINE_PICKING" to
"MouldSideOnly". This will reduce the number of p-points and p-lines in the 3D
point modes "event points".
80288 171038 Title: Missing/Unknown Drawings in Database
Symptoms: When drawings are listed in Open Drawing form, there are some
drawings that you can select but they do not have any names or any references to
drawings in database. They are blank drawings.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exsits.
Solution: A sheet without a user defined name is now being displayed by its DB-
reference number in the Open Drawing dialog.
85701 182847 Title: Guide dimension and actual dimension is displayed each differently.
Symptoms: When taken a measure and the measure is presented before it is
placed, is not the same measure that is seen when it is finaly placed in the drawing.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists. This happens
mostly when 3 or more decimals are used in the measurement.
Solution: Problem solved, Guide dimension and actual dimension will now be
displayed the same.
85699 182850 Title: Unable to "exchange" Outfit parts, via PML, in a custom drawing directory
Symptoms: Error message saying that the model object is not found on the data
bank and that the data bank is not connected when trying to exchange Outfitting
parts via pml script.
Previous/Known workaround: The problem is caused by that fact that new PADD
databases does not have the "optional upgrade for SP3". (Admin will not do this for
you since it is not mandatory, you should be able to run 12.1.SP4 without this
upgrade). So, work around is to do this upgrade which is strongly recommended
anyways (at least if all of your other database are upgraded.)
Solution: The problem is fixed, so it is possible to draw the models with MARAPI
also in a drawing of a user defined type.

79027 166756 Title: Option for labels to swith on/of following annotated shapes is needed.
Symptoms: Labels are always follwing connectors they are attached to and there
is no way to change the behaviour. The solution for 2D shapes is already
implemented.
Previous/Known workaround: None.
Solution: The existing founctionality for annotation optionally following 2D shapes
has been extended to handle connectors as well.
New option called "Move with connectors" has been added for label shapes. It can
be set in Import Shape/Edit Master dialogue and after label is dropped on drawing,
it is reflected in its context menu, so can be changed at any moment.

didn't impact them
Symptoms: NA
Previous/Known workaround: NA
Solution: When we move flange HandleUserChanges method is invoked and here
we check whether any spoolings are required or not. If spoolings are required we
start creating pipe spools which internally tries to create pipe pieces in that
particular pipe spool. Then Spool Type is updated. When spool type is updated
there is a check for loose components (Arrive and Leave).
79754 169321 Title: Pipe component in LOOSE : fabrication excess is altered by user excess
(bad calculation of length)
Symptoms: NA
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround.
Solution: This bug was introduced while fixing 116378. An Additional check is
introduced in PFFabricationMachineManager.cs file for checking arrive component
is coupling or not. If arrive component is not coupling or arrive component is not
weld, arrive component is loose and user access is greater than zero then tube
length is

if (!(arriveComponent.GetElementType() ==
DbElementTypeInstance.COUPLING || arriveComponent.GetElementType()

Previous/Known workaround: None. This is not a bug, there are different needs
depending on use.
Solution: This issue has been addressed by adding an option to the Permissible
Grain dialog for altering the report as described. It is not an error that the moments
aren't reported as zero for KGs higher than critical KG since it is not necessarily the
grain heeling moment that is critical. At the bottom of the "Permissible Grain

defined without stiff
Symptoms: The keyword PQUAL is included in the bracket statement also when
there is no stiffener on the bracket.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually remove the keyword (or just let it be, it
has no effect on the bracket if no profile is valid).
Solution: The reason is that a previous stiffener had a quality defined but this was
not reset when the bracket statement is built up so the profile quality was set to be
the same as the last stiffener. This is not corrected so the quality is always correctly
fetched from the bracket stiffener and is reset if no stiffener is defined on the
bracket.

39162, 65152, Symptoms: When moving a dimension, the arrow is always flipped back.
57171, 98386, Previous/Known workaround: Manually flip the arrow
63837 117081 Solution: A solution for the "flip arrow" persistence is now available.
1. Modify/Dimension/Flip Arrow will now persist the result in linear dimensionings. In other
types of persisted dimensionings (like Angle, Radius etc), the arrow flip will still not be
persisted.
2. A new function Modify/Dimension/Hide/Unhide Arrow has been introduced This function is
used to disable/enable dimension arrows and is applicable in persisted linear
dimensionings (the result will then be persisted) (in other types of dimensionings (persisted
or not persisted) the function is not applicable).
69329 138200 Title: MARAPI function DwgDelete does not work when a DB-reference string is given as
drawing name
Symptoms: The drawing is not deleted
Previous/Known workaround: Give the drawing name instead of DB-reference. This will
unfortunately not work if the name is longer than 26 chars or contains lower case characters.
Solution: DwgDelete accepts the DB-reference string as input.
71406, 144457, Title: Wrong WCOG value
83728 178209 Symptoms: Using the Dimension -> WCoG function on an Assembly gives wrong result. It
takes the whole panels even if only a part is included in the assembly. Previous/Known
workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Made sure assembly as such is treated and not the assigned parts. If assembly
exists in drawlist of drawing and selection is switched to view level user is asked whether
assembly or model is meant for selection. It is not possible to mix assemblies and models in the
same selection.
72265, 147173, Title: Controlling colours of butting stiffeners via LT object
84421 179676 Symptoms: Abuting stiffeners has fixed colours in symbolic views (blue (os)/white (ts))
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Two new statements have been added to the LT object, STI_ABUT_TS and
STI_ABUT_OS.
Example of use:
STI_ABUT_TS/LT='DashedDotted'/COL_DESIGN='DimGrey'/COL_PROD='Red'/LAYER=6005;
STI_ABUT_OS/LT='Dashed'/COL_DESIGN='DimGrey'/COL_PROD='DimGrey'/LAYER=6006;
72430 147465 Title: Read only mode does not work at MarAPI
Symptoms: Drawing is claimed when opening as Read Only via API.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: There is a new marapi function called DwgOpenAsCopy: DwgOpenAsCopy( String
DwgName, String CopyDwgName, Real CopyDwgType) Input Arguments: 1. DwgName -
Name of drawing to copy and open 3. CopyDwgName - Name of drawing copy 4.
CopyDwgType - Drawing type of the new copy. Can be give as "DwgType". Note that "-1" has
the meaning "same type as the source drawing" The function only works for drawings stored in
the PADD database (therefore there is no drawing type argument for the source drawing, it is
fully identified by its name) (DwgOpenAsCopy is only implemented in MARAPI and not in
Vitesse).
73111 149507 Title: Problem for drawing to increase database session and drawing object file(SDB) without
the change
Symptoms: Whenever saving a drawing without any changes, the version of the .sdb file is
increasing.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: If only the current window (zoom and pan operations) have been changed, the
version of the SDB file will not increase when drawing is saved.

Symptoms: 'Wireline hidden-line' is currently ignoring section planes (like true wireline).
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: View type 'Wireline hidden-line' will now handle section planes (incl slice) in both
Marine and Plant. Using this view type instead of Local Hidden Line will give a better
performance.

77719 162389 Title: Outfitting model cannot be inserted into the Read-only drawing
Symptoms: It is not possible to add outfitting models into a Read Only drawing. Hull objects
are ok to add.
Previous/Known workaround: Copy the drawing and open the copy as an ordinary drawing.
Solution: A new possibility to open a drawing as a copy of an existing drawing has been
implemented. This copy is in "new state" which means that if the drawing is closed without
saving, it be deleted again.

Incident Issue Description

Number Number
41809 66299 Title: HVAC - Selecting multiple components to add to a spool
Symptoms: Enhancement, to speed up picking of elements in spool.
Previous/Known workaround: Pick elements one by one. (Still available).
Solution: New gadget on form 'Add Spool Elements (by picking last only)'.
52871 87305 Title: Draft - Attempting to open E3D Drawing in PDMS Draft gives empty read-
only Ref window
Symptoms: On attempting to open a DRAWING with any transformed E3D
DRAW sheets, the Main Display is cleared, cursor hidden and title updated for a
transformed sheet, even though the sheet correctly cannot be opened. This
causes confusion as it appears that the sheet can be opened. The problem does
not occur when opening individual sheets (as of 12.1.SP2.20)
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround.
Solution: This has been fixed so that when opening a DRAWING containing
one or more AVEVA E3D DRAW sheets, these are ignored and only the PDMS
DRAFT sheets are opened. In addition the standard 'open multiple sheets'
confirmation prompt is replaced with the prompt: ''AVEVA E3D Draw sheets will
be skipped. Do you wish to add the other sheets to the view?''. If there are only
AVEVA E3D DRAW sheets under the DRAWING then an error is displayed
instead: 'Cannot display any sheets under the current drawing as they can only
be accessed using AVEVA E3D Draw'.
62970 114743 Title: Status Controller grid not getting refreshed on Edit Status
Symptoms: Grid not updated automatically following edit status operation
Previous/Known workaround: Refresh grid from column title right click menu
Solution: Grid now refreshes automatically following edit status.
62726 114996 Title: Quick Pipe Router now handles cases when BendMacReference is not
set
Symptoms: Null-radius bends created
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround.
Solution: The application will now check BendMacReference of the current
branch, pipe or zone, and if it is not assigned, the user will be requested to
choose a bending machine from those available in the project or select a default
bend radius factor (radius = outside diameter * factor). The default bend radius
factor is used for the current session on all pipes/branches that have
BendMacReference unassigned. If BendMacReference is assigned on a
pipe/branch, it is used instead of the default radius factor.
NB: The users are advised to assign bending machines wherever possible,
since the use of an explicitly specified bend radius factor is not subjected to the
same rigorous suitability tests as in Pipe Fabrication or Production Checks.

Incident Issue Description
Number Number
66349 127625 Title: Issues with drawing very large structures
Symptoms: Very large structures consisting of FRMW elements with thousands
of subelements have caused issues when drawn in DRAFT VIEWs. These
include a warning about internal limits being exceeded, missing ppoints and
potentially missing elements in the drawing.
Previous/Known workaround: Divide the framework (FRMW) into sub-
frameworks (SBFR)
Solution: The subelement limit for large FRMW has been raised to 21000 and
within this limit there should be no more issues with ppoints being dropped or
elements not drawn. Note however that having so many elements under a
FRMW is still not recommended. Where possible large FRMW (over 1000
subelements)should be created owning multiple subframeworks (SBFR) instead,
each of which should have a limited number of (say 1000) subelements. This
should also inprove the general responsiveness of the application, for example
picking ppoints and use of the design explorer.

166679 Title: Draft and Marine Drafting - COMPATIBILITY: PICGRS error - When saving a
drawing in Marine Drafting or in Outfitting Draft
Symptoms: It was not possible to do savework in 12.1.SP4 on a database which
contained attribute types created in E3D2.
Previous/Known workaround: Use savework in E3D2.
Solution: Restrictions in savework in 12.1.SP4 have been relaxed so it is now
possible to do a savework on a database containing attribute types introduced at
E3D2. However, the restriction still exists for extract operations such as flush and
refresh. The user should therefore use E3D2 to do flush and refresh operations on
an extract hierarchy containing attribute types introduced at E3D2.

62941 114735 Symptoms: The geometry of implied "TUBIs" are stored in the same level 3
subpicture as the component it is attached to.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround
Solution: It is now possible to get the "tubes" both for pipe and hvac in a separate
level 3 subpicture. There is a new drafting default keyword
"MODEL_COMPONENT_FOR_IMPLIED_MODEL" that you should set the
"Separate" (default value is "Combined"). After that you need to do "update design"
on existing views. In the Drafting explorer you can now see separate level 3
subpictures for the tubes with the name as "ILEAVE TUBI OF <gid>".
If you right click on a tube is the canvas and select "Navigate in Design Explorer"

76044 157729 Title: SaveAs drawing, performance.
Symptoms: The performance of the function Save As... needs to improve.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround.
Solution: The performance in Save As function has been improved.
The performance problem with "Save As" highly depends on the number of
PADD Views contained in the drawing. A way for the user to speed up performance
is to Purge the drawing (to get rid of empty PADD Views) before saving it. For this
purpose, the default variable PURGE_EMPTY_VIEW should be set to "Padd".
Along with this solution comes also a significant performance improvement in the
Purge function.
164869 Title: Performance of zoom and pan in drafting
Symptoms: Zooming and panning in drafting is slow
Previous/Known workaround: None
Solution: The performance of zoom and pan has been improved. Furthermore a
new way of simplified drawing during zoom and pan has been implemented. This
functionality is obtained by holding down the "Ctrl" key while zooming and/or
panning. The system will then only draw each component in the drawing as
its circumscribed box. When the "Ctrl" key is released, the system will revert back
to normal draw mode.

there.
Solution: Add filter to make these invisible.
61739 111159 Title: The component creation form gives the wrong LSTU on the first new
component after switching branches.
Symptoms: It was possible to get the tube bore of the previous branch after
pressing the set branch button on the component creation form. This was due to
the select branch method not initialising the tube selection mechanism.
Previous workaround: Select the tube from the tube selection gadget.
Solution: The form now initialises properly on a new branch.
63877 118578 Title: Structures - Fitting BANG initialised correctly.
Symptoms: Create Fitting uses the SCTN BANG for its default value.

Symptoms: Blank graphics when clip CE in units other than mm.
Previous workaround: Not acceptable, but switch to mm units.
Solution: Now works as expected, in any distance unit.
69657 139043 Title: Piping - The NSBC utility always selects the default LSTU - it should take
into account the previous component tube instead.
Symptoms: incorrect wall thickness messages after a PTAP in DATACON.
Previous workaround: The user needs to select the lstu separately.
Solution: The PTAP in the main line now gets the same tube selection as the
previous component (or head) For new branches it also tries to select the

ASFBR/LSFBR.
Symptoms: Inconsistent Spool Breaks generated from Pipe Fabrication.
Previous workaround: Set CSFBR attribute.
Solution: Remove reliance on CSFBR attribute also being set when setting
ASFBR/LSFBR in Pipe Fabrication.
72013 146459 Title: Datal output does not distinguish ambiguity between Word and unit qualifiers
in parameter lists.
Symptoms: Interpretting a WORD a unit for a preceding number in a parameter
list.
Previous workaround: Edit the data output by bracketing the preceding number
before input.
Solution: Bracketting numbers in parameter output lists which precede ambiguous
unit qualifier like words.
72093 146592 Title: Spooler - Spool Break at Tee off leg makes incorrect Spool Break attribute
settings.
Symptoms: Spool Break set at Tee PA/PL rather than at Off leg.
Previous workaround: Set TSFBREAK true for leave tube of Branch.
Solution: Set TSFBREAK true for leave tube of Branch for Spool Break GUI
selection and introduce new Create/Delete Spool Break OFF option for current
element.
72138 146693 Title: Design - Cabling Design license may be required to manage projects
containing Cabling data.
Symptoms: Deletion, locking and renaming of Cabling elements fails if Cabling
Design license is unavailable.
Previous workaround: None, other than to obtain a Cabling Design license.
Solution: Software fix to remove requirement for license for deletion, locking and
renaming of Cabling Design and Room Design related elements.
72617 147997 Title: Automatic Spool Regeneration fails to maintain attributes during pipe
changes.
Symptoms: Changing a pipe containing pspools does not mainiat individual
pspool attributes and sometimes the attributes are applied to a different pspool.
Previous workaround: Check the pspool attributes beforefinal issue
Cause: The old production checks utilities auto generate pspools each time a pipe
geometry is changed. The data elements in the old spools are re-used to save data
storage but this can result in the newly created pspools occupying different db refs
to what they started with. The core auto-regeneration simply replaces the spool
limit data and does not do anything to preserve existing pspools.
Solution: Since 12.0.SP6, a PML routine has been used to compare the new and
old pspools before and after regeneration to preserve the spool names. This has
been sucessful in solving the name problem but never tried to maintain any spool
attributes. Now the comparison also compares and resets pspool attributes
values including UDA values.

Incident Issue Description

Number Number
68278 56347, Title: Manage holes handling problems.
134843 Symptoms: Hole Management fails to approve holes made for an Equipment and
the error message "Unable to create the hole" is presented.
Previous workaround: No Previous workaround exists.
Solution: This normally means that there are too many segments in the resulting
curve that will form the hole. The curve statement gets trunkated after 1000
characters. Meaning that the curve created by the MNG hole function might corrupt
the scheme. This has been corrected by just copying the contour and reduce the
curve statement to 'CUR, "CURVENAME", MNG;'
A Managed curve like this is not allowed to be changed by the hull Designer.
21190 60970 Title: REF keyword not automatically added to boundary.
Symptoms: In Statement Wizard when indicating a reflected Shell Profile, the REF
keyword is not added to the resulting statement.
Previous workaround: Add REF manually to the statement.
Solution: Corrected so REF will automaticcally be included in the statement for
reflected Shell Profiles. Views created prior to this fix must be recreated before
indication.
23781 68751 Title: Position number series of standard bracket would not be applied.
Symptoms: Position number series of standard bracket would not be applied and
displayed when using statement wizard, that is, POS=1(1)12.
Previous workaround: Manually change from individual pos no's to group (i.e.
from 1,2,3,4,5 to 1(1)5 ).
Solution: The StatementWizard will now accept repetition terms for the position
numbers of brackets, both in the form of for example 1(1)5 and 1,2,3,4,5.
65555 123238 Title: Shell profiles as panel boundary is not possible
Symptoms: Using the "Profile Along" option in the Boundary statement on a Shell
Profile that does not belong to the main surface is not working through the
Statement Wizard.
Previous workaround: Manually change in the schema statement.
Solution: Solved so that it is now possible to use a profile as a boundary even if it
belongs to another surface.
60001 105069 Title: To be able to select which components to be drawn in symbolic view.
Symptoms: -----
Previous workaround: No Previous workaround.
Solution: Layers on components in the symbolic view can, with this change, be
customized. The componets that can be affected are the same as the ones that can
be defined for colour and line type.
Keyword LAYER=<layer_no> is added to the syntax of the SVIEW_LT_COL object
definition.
63652, 116609, Title: Material thickness value of plates gets negative (-) value after Panel
68967 137095 Recreate on FRP project.

limit, the resulting plate part size is wrong.
Previous workaround: No Previous workaround exists.
Solution: Corrected handling of multiple bevel gap intervals on one plate panels.
65534 123116 Title: R1=0 and R2=0 is not acceptable for cutout 9999 intercrossing panels.
Symptoms: Giving R1 and/or R2 as zero (0) always adds a KS10 notch to the
9999 cutout for intercrossing panels.
Previous workaround: No Previous workaround exists.
Solution: Zero is acting as default value and will then use the default notch KS10
for cutout type 9999. By setting the environment variable
SBH_NO_INTERCROSS_RAD to any value, R1=0/R2=0 will be treated as if no
notch is desired.
65555, 123238, Title: Shell profiles as panel boundary is not possible
37663 69361 Symptoms: Using the "Profile Along" option in the Boundary statement on a Shell
Profile that does not belong to the main surface is not working through the
Statement Wizard.
Previous workaround: Manually change in trhe schema statement.
Solution: Solved so that it is now possible to use a profile as a boundary even if it
belongs to another surface.
66193 129273 Title: The Virtual hole was inconsistent with real hole.
Symptoms: In Hole Management, an arbitrary hole on Starboard side is not
correctly displayed in Hull Design. The radius is displayed wrong.
Previous workaround: Manually change sign of the curve in the CUR statement
for the wrong radius parameters.
Solution: Non standard holes will be generated correctly on reflected planar
panels.
67425 130000 Title: "Outside" of GUI is checked if you modified to a plate without "DIS" on the
scheme.
Symptoms: In a FRP project, when a plate is not set "DIS" in the scheme,
"Outside" in GUI is automatically checked. This leads to wrong definition of
material.
Previous workaround: Manually check if DIS is checked or not.
Solution: The problem is now solved so that the Outside tickbox shows the correct
value for the plate being modified.
67747 131355 Title: Partly plate repesentation not display in the knuckle panel.
Symptoms: Some small parts in a knuckled panel is missing.
Previous workaround: No Previous workaround exists.
Solution: Corrected so all parts will be visible.
68201 134649 Title: Knuckle panel disappear from deck view.
Symptoms: When changing thickness of a deck panel, the abutting knuckle panel
is removed from the symbolic view.
Previous workaround: No Previous workaround exists.
Solution: This often happens when the thickness is increased. If the knuckled
panel is more than 15 mm from the view plane, it was considered to be outside the
view. This tolerance is now changed to 100 mm instead of 15 mm.
68812 136387 Title: Bead in FRP quality extracted always 'A' via DEX.
Symptoms: Using Data Extraction trying to extract the quality of a Bead, the quality
is always returned as zero (0).

69748 139313 Title: Scheme Input Function vs. Hole Management Tool
Symptoms: Using Input Scheme containing a Managed Hole is not possible to run.
The HOL statment will always fail.
Previous workaround: No Previous workaround exists.
Solution: To make 'safe' handling both interactive and batch any panel with
managed holes will be stopped at panel statement to prevent corrupt panel (with
missing holes).
To update these panels remove reference or run panel/edit or panel/recreate.
69784 139439 Title: After stiffener inclination value is up to 10 EA, recently value is not applied.
Symptoms: The inclination field in the Statement Wizard is not presenting the
correct value.
Previous workaround: Manually modify to the correct value.
Solution: The correct inclination value is presented in the drop down list. If no
inclination is given in a stiffener, the field will be set to blank (i.e. no inclination).
70248 141032 Title: Attribute KNUCKL wrong for KL Brackets.
Symptoms: The bracket has no folded flange and still the attribute is ticked for
knuckle.
Previous workaround: No Previous workaround exists.

Symptoms: When activating a panel, the use of Options to present a popup menu
for typing of panels to be included or excluded for selection does not work.
Previous workaround: No Previous workaround exists.
Solution: The Selection dialog is now shown at Options.

72669 148212 Title: Draft - VSCAN syntax used with WITHIN and IN CE can return unintended
results.
Symptoms: VSCAN syntax which uses WITHIN <volume> and IN CE can be
phrased such that the results are probably not what the user intended. Specifically,
it is possible but not recommended to enter the following syntax:
Q VSCAN FOR SCTN WITHIN <volume> IN CE
In this case the “IN CE” forms part of the generic selection criteria syntax
(equivalent to “WRT CE”) and is unlikely to be what the user intended. The results
may be very different from the probable intent of syntax such as:
Q VSCAN IN CE FOR SCTN WITHIN <volume>.
Previous workaround: Drop the IN CE part of the command when used in
conjuction with the WITHIN selection criteria. IN view_id is in any case only
required when scanning views elsewhere in the database hierarchy: if the current
element is on or under a VIEW then the VSCAN command runs against this VIEW
automatically.
Solution: It is not possible to remove this syntax combination without breaking the
generic volume based selection criteria syntax. VSCAN documentation has been
updated to point out the potential confusion. In addition the VSCAN syntax has
been tweaked to move IN view_id to earlier in the command (without breaking
existing syntax)
Q VSCAN <SIGNIFICANT | design_id> <FOR selection_criteria> <IN
view_id>
has now become:
Q VSCAN <SIGNIFICANT | design_id> <IN view_id> <FOR selection_criteria>
When using the new syntax tree IN CE before the selection criteria will produce the
expected results.

is nothing to Extract Flush.
Symptoms: No Global command is raised, and the item(s) remain claimed. Affects

Previous workaround: Use EXTRACT RELEASE to issue items.
Solution: The system now runs an EXTRACT RELEASE if Extract Flush is
unnecessary.

Previous workaround: If you can, replace the COMMs database by a new one.

slots (Use Q SLOTS to find out which slots are in the WAIT state).
Solution: WAIT users no longer block deletion.

65036 121250 Title: Surface Manager import, combines the curves
Symptoms: During the import of iges file into the Surface Manager, curves
exported in iges containing several curves end as surface file containing one curve
(e.g. 4 exported curves are merged into 1).
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Depending on how the curves are defined in the original CAD system
they are imported as follows:
- Unnamed curves are imported into different nodes with a synthetic name. (*)
- Named curves with the same name are merged into one node with the curve's
name.
- Named curves with different names are imported into different nodes with the
curve's name.
(*) In case the CAD system or the translator creates a synthetic name during the
export/import which is not unique, the user needs to give unique curve names in
the original system before the export to avoid unintended merging of the curves.

12.0.SP6 and 12.1.SP3
Symptoms: Making a regroup of a sub-picture containing dimensionings, the
dimensioning component is not recognized as a dimension any more which makes
it impossible to delete as a dimension.
Known workaround: Delete the unrecognized dimension either as a subpicture or
by geometry.
Solution: Corrected so that the regrouped dimension will now keep it's identity (but
still lose its associativity, as before). In case not all parts of the dimension geometry
are regrouped, the original dimension will (as before) be retained (after a
subsequent "update anno").

DEF_POINT_MODE is set to e.g. 23 (Event Point), it still return a Node Point while
using 2D Linear Dimension.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists. Just manual change when
point mode is to be changed.
Solution: A new Drafting default keyword DIM_DEF_2DPOINT_MODE has been
introduced. This one will be used as "initial 2D point definition mode" (instead of
hardcoded "Node") when entering the following dimensioning functions: .
* 2D Linear
* 2D Distance

correct changes is made to the form, it is not possible to get a view in this drawing
after getting this warning.
Known workaround: Close the drawig and open it again and do the Hull Symbolic
View with correct values.
Solution: Corrected so a new correct Hull Symbolic View can be made without
closing the drawing.

46740 72710, savework in Design.
72749 Symptoms: Design crashes on savework when an isometric has been produced
using options MARK DETAIL ON or MARK REVISION ON or REPEATABILITY
ON.
Known workaround: Produce isometrics from Isodraft for these options.
Solution: Update database directly from Design for update of REV and DETA
attributes if DB is writeable. Produce macros for Split ATTAs and read-only
databases from Design.
56181 94399 Title: Improve test for Extract in Claim form to avoid problems with Database
naming conventions.
Symptoms: Reported problems with Extracts which were not Working extracts,
due to their naming conventions for standard Extracts. The form sometimes reports
an error when running claims on a Multi-write Master DB, because it incorrectly
runs "EXTRACT CLAIM" commands on the Master! Fortunately Extract Claim
Hierarchy commands don't report any errors!
Known workaround: Use 'Claim Current Element hierarchy' (or similar) which
doesn't report any errors, rather than 'Claim Current Element Only' which does.
Avoid naming conventions for Databases which contain the string '_EX'
Solution: Form recoded to use a simple attribute test for Extracts, rather than the
convoluted test used at present.

66583 126787 Title: Piping - Changes to the way MDS ATTAs are handled
Symptoms: Adding a MDS support to a pipe splits pipe pieces
Known workaround: None
Solution: This is no longer the case.
NOTE: Before this fix, adding an ATTA with SPKBRK true would break a pipe
piece into shorter ones unconditionally. This may be generally correct, but not in
the case of an ATTA added purely for the purposes of MDS as part of a support.
(MDS ATTAs created with the MDS application have the SPEC of their SPREF
equal to /MDS or /MDF.)

With this fix applied, such an ATTA will be ignored in pipe piece generation by
Production Checks. Any spools generated before the fix may have to be redone,
as they will contain more pipe pieces than necessary. Where an ATTA is
deliberately introduced in order to break a long pipe piece into smaller pieces, that
will still work, as long as its SPREF does not contain the strings '/MDS' or '/MDF'.
69528 138711 Title: Isodraft - Weld Numbering not re-initialised for isometrics produced from
a detail list.
Symptoms: Weld Numbering is continued from previous isometric in detail list.
Known workaround: Produce isometrics individually rather than from a detail list.
Solution: Re-initialise weld numbering count when processing 2 pipes in the same
Transfer File (from a detail list).

40888 Title: REVERT may corrupt Marine Drawing-files
Symptoms: After a REVERT command, the Drawing-files associated with the
selected session are now also used by a later session. However the system may
have created additional versions of these files in intermediate sessions, which are
not removed. When the user changes makes changes to the Reverted session, the
filenames may clash with the files created during intermediate sessions. This
results in data corruption, since the new files are not saved
Known workaround: Tidy up unused external files which post-date those
belonging to the session created by the REVERT before allowing the user to make
further changes.
Solution: Fixed by change to REVERT functionality. This now creates copies of
the original files with a 'High-water mark' version number. Although this results in
more files being retained, it reduces the possibility of data corruption
66380 126160 Title: Inserting an Assembly (via Insert Model) does not include Spools (spools are

Symptoms: When working in Paragon with 'INCH BORE" set, the nozzle
specification form assumes the parameter values retrieved from SCOMs are in
current units rather than assuming they are in database units.
Known workaround: Either add explicit units to the parameters on the SCOMs
before creating the specifications or manually edit the ANSW attribute on the
relevant specification selectors.
Solution: Fetch the bore values from the ppoints rather than from the parameters.

Incident Issue Description

Number Number
I-65353 122473 Title: Autonesting name can be set with a ruler.
Symptoms: Enhancement request to extend automatic nesting names.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Additions to the automatic drawing names option has been introduced to
also handle nesting names.
New statement is: PLATE_NEST.
New attributes are: THICKNESS and QUALITY (only valid for PLATE_NEST).
Example of nesting names can be: PLATE_NEST/BLOCK_NAME /DELIM=' '
/QUALITY /DELIM=' ' /AUTO_SEQNO=6;
I-67483 130190 Title: Nesting is storing the wrong nesting in some cases.
Symptoms: in Nesting, have the MANU explorer open and Current Element (CE)
set to another nest than the one in use, save the CE nest and not the Nesting in
use.
Known workaround: Make sure CE and the nesting in use are the same before
saving the nesting.
Solution: Corrected so it is the nesting in use that is saved no matter which
element that is CE.
I-67488 130207 Title: Nesting, in several nestings the SAVE button is grey.
Symptoms: Open an old nesting makes the Save button to be greyed out.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: The nest is most probably a very old nest containing parts created via
the nesting tool Part Create. Over time there has been additions to nestings and in
those very old nestings, this addition is missing causing the nesting system to
misunderstand the intention and hence blanking the possibility to save the nesting.
This is now removed so a nesting will always be possible to save.
I-67489 130218 Title: Nesting, labels cannot be deleted any more (greyed out).
Symptoms: Adding a label in nesting using Key In option, the delete function of
labels are greyed out and it is not possible to remove the label text again.
Known workaround: If a label text, using the Production Information option is
used the first time in the session, the Delete Label function will be visible through
the whole session. The issue is only if Key In option has been used the first time in
the session.
Solution: Corrected so also Key In option may be used the first time.

work.
Solution: The value was converted into uppercase letters and then not recognized
by the function. This is now corrected so the value is not translated into uppercase
letters.
I-66417 126272 Title: Command tooltips are listing their CTRL hotkeys twice.
Symptoms: When hovering over a menu command (or toolbar command) that has

N)(Ctrl+N)).
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Duplication of hot key names in tooltips now removed.
I-66320 126513 Title: Marine Drafting does not remove obsolete views.
Symptoms: Empty sub-picture views remains in the drawing.
Known workaround: Manually delete the views in the Drafting explorer.
Solution: When purge is ordered explicit (via Tools/Inspect drawing/Purge or right-
click/Purge in the Marine Drawing Explorer) empty DO views will be removed
together with referred PADD views. It is up to the user to make sure nothing of
interest in such a PADD view is lost.
However, we will keep the safe way during automatic purge (not ordered by user).
I-66571 126894 Title: Uppercase drawing names not being maintained during alternative copy
routine.
Symptoms: Opening a drawing that is claimed by another user prompts for a new
name of the drawing. If the default DWG_NAME_UPPERCASE is defined as YES,
the system is not forced to capital letters.
Known workaround: Make sure uppercase letters are used either by the Shift key
or Caps Lock set.
Solution: Corrected so capital letters are always forced when
DWG_NAME_UPPERCASE is defined as YES.
I-66627 126900 Title: Incorrect when using the stretch commands on RECTANGLES.
Symptoms: When using the Stretch function on rectangles, only one side is
correctly stretched.

Known workaround: No known workaround.
Solution:
1. When searching for a user defined drawing type in the Open Drawing dialog
AND IGNORE_MARPTYPE_FOR_USERDEF =Yes then the system will
automatically limit the search to the department set up by SB_PDB00x_PADD.

2. In case you need to search the whole mdb for user defined drawing types when
IGNORE_MARPTYPE_FOR_USERDEF =Yes, we have implemented a new
option: "All Drawings" which is a new choice available in the list of drawing types in
the "Open Drawing" dialog. When using this the system will only search for
drawings with a matching name disregarding of what type they are. Please note
that this search can be significantly slower than searching for a specific drawing
type.

Symptoms: When identifying a Pipe (subpicture level 2) for deletion in the
drawing, the pipe is not recognized in all views.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: When searching for subpictures with same name, the fact that the name
of a model subpicture might be stored as a db-ref instead of the explicit name has
been considered. Also implemented support for long names when identifying
subpictures by name.

Symptoms: Some circular arcs in hidden-line views were being drawn with their
centres displaced slightly (12.1SP2 and earlier versions are unaffected).
Known workaround: reduce view arc tolerance ATOL attribute.
Solution: A fix has been made to improve the fitting of circular arcs in the hidden-
line output; previously it was possible for large arcs which formed the major part of
a circle to be positioned slightly off-centre thanks to an artefact of the facetting and
approximation process.

I-40519 69546 Title: Damage Summary Range Column in loading conditions is often all zero
Symptoms: The damage summary report is often returning zeroes in the range
column.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists
Solution: The damage summary table did not use the actual values as calculated
when checking the criteria sets for each damage case, instead a "standard" setup
were used. This had the effect that there were either some slight deviations from
the "true" values calculated for each damage case or the values became 0. For the
range column a 0 result were common, this because the chosen method were best
suited for an intact case with an upright equilibrium.
With the changes the damage summary table will for all cases when it with
success has calculated a criteria value for range, max GZ and area under GZ-
curve write that to the damage summary table. If the criteria set does not contain a
check for any of them it will fall back to the old way of calculating the values.

Symptoms: Some parts of a surface released from Initial Design, Surface, is
missing.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Corrected so the released surface will be fully included in the project.
I-65504 122930 Title: Deterministic Stability not calculating Condition KG correctly with a shift
moment fluid load
Symptoms: The issue stems from the fact that the ship uses a stabiliser tank and
requires the use of Shift Moment FSM calculation. The calculations are working
correctly in the loading condition but when the same load group is included as
‘Deadweight available for loss’ the GZ curve produced is more than twice the size
of that in the original Loading condition for the same initial conditions. This does not
happen if the stabiliser is in the load group as fixed or max FSM.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists
Solution: When using the "Deadweight available for loss" option in deterministic
calculations and assigning a loading condition using compartments with shift
moment option for calculating free surface moment the resulting VCG for the
condition turned out incorrect. This is now corrected.

I-61914 111740 Title: Statement error for BVS.
Symptoms: Mixing sides with number and side in the bevel side definition of
stiffener ends does not go through the schema interpretation.
Known workaround: Avoid the mix with number and side.
Solution: This is defined by the Statement wizard. It is now changed so that the
numbers 1 and -1 for Material and Mould side is changed into the keywords MOU
and NMO (Mould and NonMould side).
I-62088, 112210, Title: Creating a topological point at flange end, the profile reference (F1) is

Symptoms: When indicating a flange end to define a topological point, the
Statement Wizard changes the reference to be a Stiffener reference instead.
Known workaround: Manually in the schema change to the correct flange
reference.
Solution: Corrected so that the Flange reference remains.
I-62813 114345 Title: Even if the overlap <NO=1>&<NO=1>, It is performed without Error (marking
stmt).
Symptoms: Creating a marking with the MAR statement where the marking already
exists will overwrite the already existing marking.
Known workaround: Manually check that not the same number, NO, is used in the
marking statements.
Solution: Marking is checked so it is not overwriting already created marking. Also
next available marking number is presented by the statement wizard.
I-63934 117334 Title: Ppanparts is not working with KN-panel on SB-side. (Fatal Error).

I-49999 80225 Title: Change of Pipe specification.
Symptoms: specification not propagated for line members
Known workaround: Write a PML macro that updates the branches and its
components according to the Pipeline
Solution: When user change pipe specification by “Pipeline properties” then after
dialog confirmation, the system will ask user if the changes should be propagated
to all line members, including branches.

where the pipe specification has changed. In case the user skips this process, he
can open diagrams where the pipeline is located and execute refit “manually” on
each branch.

Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: It is now possible to define statements built by many intelligent text items
e.g. "Flange #TYPE()GE DN#ABOR()".
I-61297 110044 Title: Label in Hull, symbols are not shown.
Symptoms: Using the Label function in Hull Modelling and trying to use the
Symbolic, Select from list will give an error message "Object does not have a
member VAL".
Known workaround: Use Marine Drafting.
Solution: The Symbol Selection form can be shown only in Marine Drafting. It is not
possible to use the form from Hull Design, because it uses drafting specific PML
functionality to display 2D symbols. The fix is only dimming the button showing
Symbol Selection form if application is not Marine Drafting.

Symptoms: When performing stability calculations without Subdivision Length (Ls)
defined a number of assertions will occur and finally the application will crash.
Known workaround: Define subdivision length in main particulars.
Solution: For most stability analysis the Subdivision length is not needed. The
solution is to avoid all parts of the calculation where subdivision length is used
unless analysis require the subdivision length to be given.
I-61259 110121 Title: Three decimal places for the CoG's in the loading condition report.
Symptoms: The flag state and the classification societies may sometimes turn this

I-52591 86814 Title: The positions of profile cross topology points are wrong.
Symptoms: In case of inclined profiles with varying bevel defined for the trace, the
topological points will not take the variable bevel into consideration and the
positions will not be correct.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Corrected so that positions of the topological points will take variable
bevel of the profile trace in consideration.

I-59704 104523 Title: Missing references between design and production panels
Symptoms: Run a schema via "Input Scheme" in a Multi View project
(Design/Production panels) will break connections between Design and Production
Panels.
Known workaround: Do not use "Input Scheme" in a Multi View project.
Solution: Generation after Input Scheme cannot be done for a design panel with
production panels. In this state the design panel component has connections to the
ones on the production panel and Input Scheme generation actually creates a new
panel from a scheme file that can be totally different from the stored design panel.
This is now prevented and an error message given to the user.
Note that scheme generation is of course still possible via the function Get
Scheme.
I-59760 104634 Title: Additional seams in Design Panel
Symptoms: In symbolic views all planar seams are drawn. There is a possibility to
hide all seams by setting the Hull Design default NOSEAMS but then no planar
seams will be shown at all. In some drawings, the Design Seams is desired but not
all production seams.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: An additional value to the default NOSEAMS has been introduced. By
setting the value 2 (NOSEAMS=2), only those seams that include the text
"DESIGN" in the comment (COM) in the planar panel will be presented. All other
seams will be hidden.

Symptoms: The 2D restriction does not change the size of the view. The view size
is kept its original size also after the restriction is done.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: The problem was that the SIZE attribute of the VIEW element was
sometimes not set properly when setting the 2D restriction in the original view. This
caused the problems when copying to a new view.
It means that the fix will not work for old views that have an incorrect view size
compared to the 2d restriction but it will prevent the problem in future 2d restriction
handling.
I-57499 97067 Title: CE will be changed after zooming drawing.

112021 Title: Sorting option is needed for PBS Explorer.
Symptoms: Currently there is no option for automatically sort nodes in PBS
Explorer.
Known workaround: Sort collections inside PML functions used for getting PBS
elements. It works, but makes the funcions complicated and affects
performance.
Solution: The funcionality has been added now. The nodes are sorted
alphanumerically by default and it is possible to turn the sorting off using state
command (Aveva.PBSAddin.SortPBSExplorerCommand). All nodes are sorted
or not, it is not possible to sort only selection of nodes. The exception is for
nodes with static texts - it is possible to keep original order even if the rest of
nodes is sorted (controlled by command
Aveva.PBSAddin.SkipStaticTextsCommand). Buttons for both commands are
added to Project->Options->PBS Explorer Options.

1) Disable line rounding
2) In case if line rounding can not be disabled, changing line jumping style from
Arc to something else should helps. However, it might be that export fails
anyway.
Solution: After fix diagram with rounded Arc can be exoprted.
114283 Title: Leader line for labels.
Symptoms: Before, part of label's leader line that was under "rectangle" was
visible in DWG but not in Diagrams.

radius <= 50mm
Symptoms: Adding for example a corner radius with a radii 50 mm or less and then
use Dimension -- >Radius, will place the measure wrong if indicating on the
concave side of the radius.
Known workaround: Move the arrow, line and measure text manually to the correct
position.
Solution: Corrected. The dimension will be automatically correctly placed.
I-60338 106534 Title: The scale of subpicture had changed which ignored the scale of original view
or default.

Symptoms: Cutting and pasting schematic elements from one page to another on a
multi-page diagram will cause the database elements to first be deleted and then
re-created again.
Solution: Support for moving elements between the pages and diagrams has been
added. User will need to select shape (or shapes) and drag them over one of the
‘page’ tabs on the bottom of Visio drawing. Then just drop the selection on another
page.
97342 Title: Windows available from Admin Tab are visible for regular users after
application start.
Symptoms: If admin-only functionality, such as Design Reuse, Drawing Explorer

I-58508 100376 Title: Diagrams batch creation of PDF files.
Symptoms: When we use Batch job to print PDF files, we must choose a print size
and orientation of pages for all diagrams. It would be better if we could have an
option to print with the “Page Setup” parameters defined for each diagrams.
When we use Batch job to print PDF files, we must manually enter the name of
each PDF file. It would be better if batch print automatically create PDF files with
the name of scdiag for example, or with the value of a predefined scdiag attribute.
Solution: Batch Job has been updated with a new export functionality, which will
generate PDF files named as the diagram.
I-58754 103997 New option has been introduced “Diagrams Options->General options->System

Symptoms: The Copy/Paste operation is experienced as slow when
copying/pasting large portions of data.
Solution: The code has been optimised, resulting in a performance improvement of
up to 30%.
107904 Title: Handling of Unassigned Items
Symptoms: Currently it's not possible to easily assign shapes to a DB element that
has been created from Compare/Update or imported via Excel Import. It's
necessary to have a way of doing this easily so that a complete process workflow
can be achieved.
Solution: Basic handling of unassigned items has been implemented. Please see
updated documentation in chapter Working with Diagrams / Unassigned Items.

Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: Correction is made to accept cutouts in profile type 11.
59345 Title: Side option should not be available while creating markings for PS and SB
panels.
Symptoms: When creating marking on a side specific panel (P, S or SP) the option
Side is available in the Statement Wizard. If a side is chosen, no marking will be
produced.
Known workaround: Do not select any side for marking in the statement wizard
when handling a side specific panel.
Solution: The Side field will be dimmed for side specific panels (P, S and SP
panels).
60002 Title: Unhandled Exception while creating doubling for notch at seam end.
Symptoms: Creating a Doubling for a notch where the notch is defined at a seam
end, on a CL panel may cause the system to an abnormal abortion.
Known workaround: No known workarounds exist.
Solution: The Doubling will be correctly handled and the system will be able to
produce the Doubling.
62734 Title: While modifying the excess side is not set.
Symptoms: In a SBP panel, add excess but only for one of the panels (Valid only
P). When modifying later the excess via the Statement Wizard, the side information
is lost.
Known workaround: Modify the excess statement in the Schema editor.
Solution: The side information is correctly presented in the Statement Wizard.
63104 Title: Problem with creation of an Interpolation Point.
Symptoms: When creating a topology point of type Interpolation, the default factor
is set to zero (0). This is not a realistic factor but a point is still created at the
location of the first point.
Known workaround: Set a valid factor (F=<factor>) in either the schema
statement or in the Interpolation factor field in the Statement Wizard. If the
behaviour to get a point at the same location as the first point, using factor 0 is
desired, another topology point type should be used.
Solution: A default factor of 0.5 will be defined if the point is created via the
Statement Wizard.

Known workaround: The reflection keyword, REF, can be added in the schema
editor.
Solution: The reflected seam will be handled correctly.
I-51862, 85638, Title: Problem to use macro clips.
I-56272 94631 Symptoms: If a compiled geometry macro is called, the system will fail.
Known workaround: Make sure all macros are correctly compiled and are of no
zero size.
Solution: Proper message will be displayed and the system will continue.
I-52442 86610 Title: “DEF_QUAL_OUT”on sj001.def is not working correctly.
Symptoms: Defining the default keyword DEF_QUAL_OUT in Hull Modelling will
not have any effect on the schema as described.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: The default quality code will be added in the schema if the keyword is
defined in the Hull Modelling default.
I-55466 93010 Title: Colour settings in Sj001 don't work.
Symptoms: The defined colour in the Hull Design default file is not reflected in the
Statement Wizard.
Known workaround: Do not use the default colour setting. See Solution.
Solution: In the statement wizard the latest used colour is saved from the last run
for every part. This makes the use of default colour for parts no longer necessary
and also the two functionalities conflict. The default colour has been removed.
I-55519 93556 Title: Undefined term BEM.
Symptoms: When defining a Planar Panel in the Statement Wizard in Structural
Design the wrong keyword for Non watertight panel is written in the panel
statement. The keyword BEM is written when it should be NOWT.
Known workaround: Manually change the BEM keyword to NOWT in the schema
editor.
Solution: Correct keyword NOWT will be written in the PAN statement for Non
watertight panels.
I-56454 94960 Title: Wrong profile symbol on bracket

I-56862 97064 Title: There’s a problem with modification of stiffener end bevel.
Symptoms: When adding bevel to a stiffener flange end (no bevel for the web), the
system responds with the message "Undefined term or term in wrong position".
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: The system wrote the wrong information in the bevel side of the stiffener
end for the web part if no bevel is defined for the web. This is now corrected and if
no bevel is defined for the web, only for the flange, UNS will be written in the bevel
side to indicate that this part is undefined e.g. BVS=UNS:TOP.
I-57620 97329 Title: Incorrect AS value of Bracket Instance.
Symptoms: when defining any of the keywords AS1 to AS4 in the bracket instance
setup, the value of AS1 to AS4 (GPS! to GPS4) all get the value defined for AS1.
Known workaround: Manually change the values in either the Statement Wizard
or in the panel schema.
Solution: The values will be correctly distributed.
I-57716 97598 Title: Definition of bracket with FACE_PLATE.
Symptoms: When defining brackets that should only contain a face plate (no
stiffeners), stiffener number one will still be added along the free side of the
bracket.
Known workaround: Set PRB to -1, indicating that the second profile should not
be available.
Solution: When only face plate is required, no stiffeners will be applied.
98382 Title: The clip data is not getting updated properly.
Symptoms: When using standard clip e.g. 010 and defining a hole in the defined
clip, when modifying, the hole tab is not correctly updated. It is the hole for the first
clip that will be opened up in the wizard but the definition is for the second clip.
Known workaround: Modification has to be done for the clip in the schema
statement.
Solution: The standard clip code will be properly decoded so that the correct hole
information can be edited.
I-58549 100612 Title: Obsolete default parameters.
Symptoms: The Hull Design Default parameters DRAW_FLA_TEXT,
DRAW_PLATE_TEXT and DRAW_STI_TEXT has no effect at all.
Known workaround: -
Solution: The parameters have been removed.
101499 Title: While modifying existing hullmark, the field 'Angle' takes the value of the
previously modified Hull Mark.
Symptoms: Modifying a Hullmark that was previously defined where the Angle is
defined, this field is not correctly handled. The value that is presented is not the
values given by the original definition.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: The field will be properly handled presenting the valid data.
I-58428 102467 Title: Bracket modifying syntax
Symptoms: When modifying a bracket in the Statement Wizard and changing the
syntax, it is possible to press the Update button. If doing so, a new bracket is
created and the original bracket remains unchanged.
Known workaround: Modify bracket in the schema file.
Solution: Update a bracket in the Statement Wizard is prevented if the syntax is
changed. Normally a syntax change is followed by other changes and the logic in
the syntax may not be correct.

Solution: A more robust handling of missing surfaces has been introduced and the
panel that cause the problem can be easily identified.
I-53632 89912 Title: Enhancement request for statement of doubling plate in schema data.
Symptoms: The doubling plate (DOU) in Hull Modelling will always be numbered in
the sequence they are modelled. For all other components it is possible for the user
to control the sequence number (with help of NO or CNO). To not be able to control
the number makes it difficult to keep persistent numbering.
Known workaround: Make sure the doublings always is modelled in the same

those are not handled properly in the sketch. When toggling between the Nested
Plate and the Nesting Sketch, the sub-picture is not correctly shown in the sketch.
Known workaround: Nesting sketch can be opened with File - Open drawing, and
then place the sub-picture
Solution: The sub-picture handling in Nesting Sketch has been approved and will
be added in a new layer. This will prevent the sub-picture to be wrongly displayed.
I-50968 85405 Title: Labeltexts for markings on the other side of the part are not set by LabelText-
>PosNo->Automatic.
Symptoms: When making Label text automatically in Nesting, the marking position
numbers on the "other" side of the plate is not distinguished from the once located
on "this" side.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: A new default keyword, LABEL_PREFIX_OS, has been introduced. By
setting this to e.g. OS, the marking position numbers that are located on the "other"
side will get this prefix so they are easy to locate.
I-57376 94756, Title: The Excess and the sketch info overlap each other in the nesting Sketch.
96777 Symptoms: If adding excess to plates, the excess and plate information texts will
overlap. Also Burning sequence number is coming out of the symbol.
Known workaround: Move the texts manually after they have been added.
Solution: The text overlap in the sketch has been improved. For the side
information, two new defaults has been introduced, AUTO_SIDE_INFO_DX and
AUTO_SIDE_INFO_DY to move the side information that sometimes clash with the
excess text.
95364 Title: Nesting defaults is not working properly.
Symptoms: In the Nesting Sketch, the position number symbols fir stiffener
markings does not fetch the symbol number from the default keyword
POSNO_SYMB_MARK.

I-58595 100912 Title: Different thickness search on parts menu.
Symptoms: If a new nesting is created, for example with 7 mm, the system search
only 7 mm parts and bring to parts menu. ıf also 8 mm parts are required in the
parts menu, it is not possible.
Known workaround: Manually search for parts to be included in the nesting.
Solution:
The Nesting default parameters THICK_DIFF_MIN and THICK_DIFF_MAX can be
used to select parts in a thickness interval. If THICK_DIFF_MIN = 0.0 and
THICK_DIFF_MAX = 1.0, all parts with thicknesses between e.g. 7 and 8 mm will
be selected.
In the parts menu it is now possible to add selections from different thicknesses.
The check box for "Keep existing parts in the menu" must be checked. In that case,
only parts with the given thickness are extracted.
