Area Based ADP User Guide

1 Introduction
Note: Throughout this document, the generic term ‘Drafting’ is used to represent both Plant
DRAFT and Marine Outfitting DRAFT.
Area Based ADP (Automatic Drawing Production) drawings are compiled by selecting
predefined areas and templates created by the ABA administrator. An area is a physical box
volume within the database defined by coordinates, and a template is a drawing layout with
set parameters describing a number of views, graphical representation in the views, and
types of labelling.
The purpose of this document is to provide the ABA user with guidance on how to work with
the application to produce drawings from the 3D model. A pre-requisite to using ABA is that
the ABA administrator has installed and configured ABA for use with AVEVA Plant or
Marine. The ABA Installation Guide and the ABA Administrator Guide documents give
information on these activities.
