Project Set Up Manager in Pds

This document discusses how to set up and configure a plant design project in the Plant Design System (PDS) software. It describes: 1. How the plant coordinate system is defined, with coordinates relative to a plant monument location. 2. How to select which database attributes to display or hide for different design tables using the Revise Project - Attribute Display command. 3. How to add new user-defined attributes to existing design tables, such as the piping segment data table, using the Revise Project - Add Attributes command. Warning that any project models in use must not be locked first to avoid database mismatches.

Example

Example Plant Coordinate System Monument


Coordinates in the Plant Coordinate System (PCS) are in relation to the plant monument. For
example, if the plant monument was modified from its default setting of 0,0,0 to be E. 300', N.
250' and EL. 10', then a point 200 feet east and 150 feet north away from the plant monument
would be at E. 500', N. 400' and EL. 10' in the Plant Coordinate System.

Revise Project - Attribute Display

Revise Project - Add Attributes


This command is used to revise the Design Database structure after the project has been created.
You can revise the Piping Segment Data Table, the Piping Component Data Table, the
Piping/Tubing Data Table, the Instrument Component Data Table, and the Pipe Support Data
Table.
You can add user-specified columns to the Piping Design Database, and you can also change the
standard note type for any user-specified column in the Piping Design Database. This includes
treating a user-specified column, where the data type is short integer, as a standard note for the
first time.
Warning: When adding attributes to an existing project, ensure that no piping models from that
project are in use or locked. If the project models are in use or are locked, a type 63 or database

type (such as 330) for the attribute.
