Area Based Automatic Drawing Production : ABA Defaults : Create Area Libraries

All libraries are DLLB elements which may be used for specific discipline types. For example, the set of areas for a piping discipline are likely to be different 3D volumes to those used by mechanical or structural disciplines. Area libraries are use to split the total areas into smaller groups to suit discipline based requirements.

To create area libraries, on the Area tab, in the Create group, click Library, select Area Library from the drop-down list to display the ABA Area Library Definition window.

Input a name for the new library in the Name field.

Select the appropriate function for the library from the Function drop-down box.

To add the new library to the Area Library list, click Add.

To replace a highlighted Area Library with current Name and Function settings, click Replace

To remove a library from the Area Library list, click Remove. A Confirm window displays asking the administrator to OK the deletion. Click Yes to delete the item.

By default the Name and Discipline elements in the Area Libraries are sorted alpha numerically (A-Z, 0-9). To reverse the order, click the column header of the relevant list.
