You need to prepare a PDS™ project before you import dimensional data for piping that you export from SmartPlant Instrumentation, using the following procedures:
Define Settings for Long Filenames
Some of the delivered Eden modules have long filenames, such as IVALVE_2_AMS.pd. Use this procedure to load these files without errors into the PDS (Plant Design System) application.
Load SmartPlant Instrumentation Library Files into a PDS Project
The files that you load into the PDS project are the isometric drawing symbol map (<SmartPlant Instrumentation home folder>\DDP\isomap.tbl) and the Eden routines files in the <SmartPlant Instrumentation home folder>\DDP\Eden folder.
-
These procedures assume that you installed Dimensional Data for Piping (DDP) Export Utility, in your SmartPlant Instrumentation home folder.
-
For more information about instrument specifications, material descriptions, Eden modules, and physical dimension tables in PDS, see Reference Data Manager (PD_Data) Reference Guide. This document is available on the PDS Online Reference Library.
-
You cannot use the DDP Utility to export dimensional data from a SmartPlant Instrument domain that uses the KKS naming convention.
