Project Structure and Distribution
When symbolic representation is used in a drawing, the same design symbol should be used under the same conditions across an organisation irrespective of its size.
Design symbols are usually held in aDRAW (PADD) database in one of the Multiple Databases (MDB) in the master project (MAS) in addition to the master discipline catalogues that already reside there. The DRAW database contains the templates for 2D design symbols that are referenced by the Catalogue. Thus, DRAW design symbols are made available in user projects by including a foreign reference to the MDB in the master project.
As the DRAW design symbol libraries are stored within a foreign project database, then it is the responsibility of the system/project administrator for the foreign project to distribute them globally. The Global application only distributes databases for a given project. Thus if a master project is required at another location, then the system/project administrator must either make that a Global project or otherwise arrange for its distribution.
Note:
Use of backing sheets (BACK) should be avoided within the design symbol database since they complicate distribution of the design symbol libraries.
