Area Based Automatic Drawing Production : ABA Defaults : Create and Modify Classifications
Create and Modify Classifications
To aid in the creation of templates, the drawlist has been modified to use classifications. A classification is a collection of objects gathered according to a defined criterion.
To create a classification, on the Area tab, in the Create group, click Library, select Classification from the drop-down list to display the ABA Classification Definition window.
Input a name for the classification in the Name field and a description in the Description field.
Input the required criteria in the Criteria field. To modify/replace or remove a criteria select the desired criteria from the Criteria List. The criteria may be of two different types.
Select the required Criteria Type which determines the check on input criteria but depends on the type:
Rule
To add (or remove) a certain type of element with an attribute of a specified value (if required). Examples:
ALL PIPE
ALL PIPE WITH PSPEC EQ A1A
Note:
Always use a qualifying element with the All statement. Otherwise the time taken to evaluate the expression is excessive. An expression such as ALL WITH (PURP EQ ‘ANY’) is not recommended.
Element
To add (or remove) an element from the MODEL database (the name is normally used, but the reference number can be used). The item may be added manually. Navigate to the relevant item in the members list and click CE to the right of the Criteria field
Select the Type of rule from the drop-down list, either Add or Remove.
Select the Action required from the drop-down list.
Add Criteria
Adds an extra criterion to the Criteria List.
Replace Criteria

Note:
make sure the correct one is selected.
Remove Criteria

Note:
make sure the correct one is selected
