You use the Loop Drawings module to retrieve predefined instrumentation data and generate appropriate loop drawings. Each component in the loop drawing is assigned the necessary drawing blocks that represent its functionality and wiring routing. The drawings display information about the loops and their instruments, wiring routing, line data, DCS data, document references, approvals, revisions, and general information.

The Loop Drawings module generates loop drawings by means of a fast build process. By configuring typical drawing blocks for key instrument types, the loop components can be automatically initialized with their corresponding graphical elements. The Loop Drawings module enables you to create loop drawings that include data retrieved from the database and if required, from an external file.

You can generate loop drawings in one of the following ways:

  • Using the Enhanced Report Utility.

  • Using an external CAD application (Smart Instrumentation supports Intergraph SmartSketch, Autodesk AutoCAD, or Bentley Systems MicroStation for Windows).

    • Smart Instrumentation and the CAD drawing programs required to work with Smart Instrumentation, must be installed on the same machine.
