...................................................................................................................... 148 Chapter 1: Project Configuration Project Files Each project has one of each of these files: • Project.XML • PnIdPart.xml • ProjSymbolStyles.dwg • SubstitutionPalettes.xml • ProcessPower.dcf • ProcessPower.dcfx • Piping.dcf • Piping.dcfx • PipingPart.xml • Iso.dcf • IsoPart.xml • Misc.dcf • MiscPart.xml • Ortho.dcf • Ortho.dcfx • OrthoPart.xml • Various Report Templates Directory o ControlValve.XML o DocumentList.XML o EquipmentList.XML o InstrumentationIndex.XML o LineList.xml o LineSummary.XML o NozzleList.XML o ValveList.XML All drafters working on this project will share these files. There files are copied from the project selected as the source project when the project was created. The source project can be any project. We ship five “template” source projects called PIP (imperial and metric), ISA, ISO, and DIN. AutoCAD P&ID Advanced Configuration Guide Page 6 Once you start working, the data cache is created – one per project. These cache files are: • ProcessPower.dcf • ProcessPower.dcfx • Iso.dcf • Iso.dcfx • Misc.dcf • Misc.dcfx • Ortho.dcf • Ortho.dcfx • Piping.dcf • Piping.dcfx If a project is using SQL Server, the *.dcf files are not databases, but xml connection files which point the program to the correct SQL Server database. The first time a substitution palette is invoked, you also get a project file called SubstitutionPalettes.xml Read-Write Issues PnIdPart.XML needs to be writable by all drafters creating content in this project. (i.e., anyone using the program to draw P&IDs). This xml happens to use “Project Autogen” values for automatic tag generation, the last autogen value is also stored here. Of course the data cache ProcessPower.DCF & ProcessPower.dcfx files need to be writable if you are creating content. The other project files can be read only by drafters creating content in this project. Other Files Important to the Project The DWT (drawing template) file can be either shared from some project directory OR on each user’s workstation. The project.xml points to the DWT, and this path can be either local or network. Out of the box it is where all the other ACAD DWT files - C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Autodesk\AutoCAD Plant 3D 2015\R20.0\enu\Template Undoubtedly many projects will want the TOOL PALETTE to be from a shared project file instead of from the local copies in each user’s C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD Plant 3D 2015\R20.0\enu\Support\ToolPalette PnIdPart.XML contains • Project NAME, DESCRIPTION • Paths to the REPORT xml files • Auto-gen definitions • Path to this project and project files (ProjSymbolStyles.dwg) AutoCAD P&ID Advanced Configuration Guide Page 7 • Pathh to DWT file ProcessPoweer.dcfx is the schema struccture. It contaains • ALL tthe CLASSES ((like EQUIPMENT, PUMP, HandValve, GGateValve) • PROPERTIES for these classes. (like MANUFFACTURER, Sizze, Service) inncluding if thiis property is a nummber, text, eleection list. • Display Names foor the CLASSES • Defaault values forr the PROPERRTIES. • If thee property is a selection lisst, what list too use. ProjSymbolSStyles.DWG coontains • The symbols (bloccks) assigned to the classees • Any annotations • Tag fformat definitions The various report tempplates containn info on whhat propertiees to display in the reporrt. This includdes the JOINS, FILTERS, SORTS, annd selected PROPERTIES. The ProcessPPower.dcf filee is a database that contains all the data records.
