Document Master Data in Title Blocks (P+ID)

If a P+ID is managed via the HELiOS database, you can display the contents of document attributes of the corresponding document master (and the superordinate database project, if any) in the title block of the drawing frame. Furthermore, attribute contents of article masters which are linked to the document master of the P+ID can be displayed in the drawing frame.

In addition to the default assignments of the input fields belonging to the master data mask and dialogue types to data masks for title block symbols, you can allocate up to 20 optional input fields for dialogue types Reserve 1 to Reserve 20. The title block symbols in the title block library (e.g. ISDFRAMES_ENG) have been expanded by these dialogue types.

The assignment is made with the FLZVTXNR.DAT file (in \HICAD\SYS):

Lines containing comments Reserve R01 to Reserve R20, correspond to dialogue types with identical names. The 0 in the third column should be replaced by respective database entry identifiers (No. of characters, Object type.Attribute name).

If we assume that you also want to transfer the attribute Customer Name to P+ID sheet title blocks, proceed as follows:

  1. Edit the FLZVTXNR.DAT file as follows:
  2. In the Dialogue type and Attribute definitions of the configuration that you want to use, replace the alias name Reserve R01 by Customer Name and save this change.
  3. Load the title block library in HiCAD’s P+ID used for your project, e.g. the library ISDFRAMES_ENG.
  4. Now load the drawing frames used for P+ID sheets with the Edit library symbol function; we assume DIN A3, i.e. Symbol SFDINA3.

If you use different page formats, you need to use the procedure described above for all respective drawing frames.

  1. Select Position dialogue text and pick Customer Name from the list that appears on your screen:
  2. Set the text place holder on the required position in the title block and, if necessary, process text parameter.
  3. Now invoke the Save library symbol function.

You can now process other drawing frames, if required.


Insert article master

If desired, attribute contents of article masters which are linked to the document master of the P+ID can be displayed in the drawing frame. This is achieved by overwriting, for each desired article master attribute, a row identified as "Reserve" with the information of the attribute in the file \hicad\sys\FLZVTXNR.DAT. In the example below, the row identified as "Reserve R01" was overwritten with the information of the article master attribute NORMBEZEICHNUNG. The letter B. indicates that the attribute is an article master attribute.
