Use the Create Part World window to create a
Part World (PRTWLD) element which is a top level administrative element in the hierarchy.
Depending on the discipline currently selected in AVEVA Catalogue a default purpose selection is made, for example PIPE is selected by default when in the
AVEVA Catalogue Pipework discipline.
Select the Use defined Storage Area checkbox to add elements to a defined storage area, refer to
Storage Areas for further information.
A Part Hierarchy (PRTELE) element is an administrative element which represents a
General Part (GPART) family corresponding to a specific GTYPE element.
Use the Create Part Hierarchy window to create a PRTELE administrative element in the hierarchy. A PRTELE element must be created below a PRTWLD element.
Depending on the discipline currently selected in AVEVA Catalogue a default purpose selection is made, for example PIPE is selected by default when in the
AVEVA Catalogue Pipework discipline.
Select the Use defined Storage Area checkbox to add elements to a defined storage area, refer to
Storage Areas for further information.
A Part Element (PRTELE) element is an administrative element which contain a number of GPART elements, each of which fully defines an individual component.
Use the Create Part Family window to create a
Part Family (PRTELE) element must be created below a Part World (PRTWLD).
Depending on the discipline currently selected in AVEVA Catalogue a default purpose selection is made, for example PIPE is selected by default when in the
AVEVA Catalogue Pipework discipline.
Select the Use defined Storage Area checkbox to add elements to a defined storage area, refer to
Storage Areas for further information.
The Part Family window allows access to various tasks which administer all aspects of a new Part Family.
A new General Part (GPART) element with general attributes is created in the database hierarchy displayed in the Catalogue Explorer below the Part World and a new part entry is displayed in the
Part Family window. By default, the Type, Subtype and Description general attributes are unset.
Use the Tasks > General Attributes pane of the
Parts Family window to add the general attributes of the GPART element.
If the check box is not selected, when Navigate to 3D Model is selected, the currently selected GPART in the
Part Family window is not identified in the database hierarchy displayed in the
Catalogue Explorer, an
Error message is displayed.
Use the standard Track CE check box to allow the window to follow the currently selected element in the
Catalogue Explorer.
Use the Tasks > References pane of the
Parts Family window to add the reference attributes of the GPART element. These reference attributes fully define the GPART and point to the 3D model and ISODRAFT and so on.
Use Create Parts from Category functionality to create parts from a previously created Category. Adds elements below the category to the Part Family list from the currently selected category element, attributes can then be modified.
Use the Create Copies of Selected Parts functionality to copy the currently selected GPART from the
Part Family window and display in the database hierarchy in the
Catalogue Explorer.
Use the Delete Selected Parts functionality to delete the currently selected GPART from the
Part Family window from the database hierarchy in the
