IMPORTANT NOTES:
New Capabilities in the Dabacon Core

When Engineering 15.1 and Administration 1.6 are released it will be possible to create Notes and
Arrays of Strings using these products.
Because these are new capabilities in the Dabacon core, it will not be possible to display or use
such data in older products :
• PDMS
• Hull & Outfitting
• Everything3D 2.1
AVEVA Marine 12.1.SP4 Surface & Compartment new version of Spatial ACIS
In the main release of AVEVA Marine 12.1.SP4 Surface & Compartment a new version of Spatial ACIS were
included. With the ACIS upgrade a new faceting engine was introduced, with the old faceting still in
operation but without the user settings of tolerances available.
To overcome this issue there was a switch to the new faceting engine in 12.1.SP4 fix 27 where user set
tolerances once again are available, except for the aspect ratio setting which is now obsolete.
NOTE! Changes to the faceting may result in differences in Hydrostatics results.

Weight and Centre of Gravity (WCoG)
Various problems for WCoG in Hull has been detected in 12.1.SP4.33 to 12.1.SP4.36.
• wcog name & type in resulting WCOG.csv file - SP4.36 (fixed in 12.1.SP4.37)
• When run WCoG in 12.1.SP4 Fix35, the program will finish with error 1002 or 1005. (fixed in
12.1.SP4.36)
• WCoG problem of drawing with bracket (fixed in 12.1.SP4.36)
• WCOG of SBP panel incorrect (fixed in 12.1.SP4.35)
• "+ gap" is twice added to deployed bracket. (fixed in 12.1.SP4.34)
These fixes are all included in 12.1.SP4.37 and affects the weight of brackets and also the column Type in
the WCoG result list.
The weight of brackets are, in case of bevel is used, corrected to include the bevel (see fix for 12.1.SP4.34).
AVEVA Marine Surface and Compartment 12.1.SP4 Fix 26
Customers using AVEVA Marine Surface & Compartment may have problems opening surface
files in version 12.1.SP4 Fix.26. Symptom is that the system freezes and the process must be
killed. Target for a fix for this issue is 12.1.SP4 Fix.27.
AVEVA Cache Service
As a result of interaction between fixes made to Dabacon and the AVEVA Client Cache Service, it
is recommended that after installing this version, 12.1.SP4 Fix.21, the client cache on each client
machine is emptied using the Cache Manager.
Compatibility Issue
Due to compatibility issues, the Compare/Update feature of 12.1.SP4 Fix.21 (Diagrams,

Engineering & Outfitting modules) does not work successfully with AVEVA Instrumentation
12.1.SP3 Fix.4. This will be resolved with the upcoming release of AVEVA Instrumentation
12.1.SP3 Fix.5.
Production Support for Frameworks
The possibility to select a Framework graphically in the 2D canvas or to get relevant options when
Right-Clicking a Framework in the 2D canvas is dependent on the optional database upgrade
defined in AVEVA Marine 12.1 SP3. See the AVEVA Marine 12.1 SP3 bulletin note 19.9 Layers for
Outfitting Models for details.

New Representation
When setting SBH_ENABLE_SOLID_PLATES shell plates can now be represented using a
Generic Primitive created from the referenced surface and the involved seams in that surface.
The new representation is used also when generating bending templates. If issues are
encountered, it is recommended not to use this setting.
New Bending Templates IP
The new bending templates IP named LARGESIGHTLINEMARK is subject to change in a coming
hotfix release and should not yet be used.
Datasheets Performance and Printers
Performance of some features, such as the new Datasheets, may be impaired if your default
printer is not accessible. This is believed to be due to the use of Excel functions; a detailed
investigation is under way.
Support for Datasheet Templates Created in Foreign Project Databases
The current released version of “Datasheets ” in AVEVA PDMS 12.1.SP4 does not support
datasheet templates created in a foreign project dictionary. All datasheet templates “MUST” be
created in the current project dictionary database for them to be available for use in AVEVA
Engineering -Tags.
Installation
There is a prerequisite to have Windows Explorer as your default Internet browser. If you choose
to install from the DVD’s html menu, other browsers might have a different behaviour that prevents
a successful installation.
After the Marine installation has completed an installation of the AVEVA Database Cache Service
is started automatically. A prerequisite for AVEVA Database Cache Service is that the Microsoft
Message Queuing (MSMQ) is enabled. For a description of enabling the MSMQ and the use of
AVEVA Database Cache Service, please refer to chapter AVEVA Database Cache Service in the
Marine Software Installation Guide.
Database Optional Upgrade
The database upgrade framework is extended with a concept of optional upgrades. The software
requires a database to be upgraded to a certain level to be granted write access to the database.
But beyond that mandatory upgrade level it is now possible to apply further optional upgrade levels
to acquire new enhanced features. For more information please see the Data Management and
Database Administrator User Guide / Database Upgrade.
The impact of the PML Form Layout Changes
PML developers using the new Forms and Menus libraries, may discover unacceptable changes to
the layout of some existing forms when upgrading from earlier releases. The fix for the layout
changes is usually straight forward. For further information please see item KB4453 in the
Knowledge Base .
P&ID Integration UDA Definition Change

If using the AVEVA P&ID to Tags integration in Compare/Update, please note that the integration
UDA pmg-engi-pid should have its UDA Length increased to 150 characters.

This is a name of a panel (planar/curved) or a filename (including full path) containing a list of panels in
the format for PPI.
<argument> = IP group to use
Certain applications may have their default file (ip) divided into one or several groups. This parameter
may then contain the group to use.
Example of short script in PML:

import 'marapi'
using namespace 'AVEVA.Marine.Design'
using namespace 'Aveva.Marine.Utility'
!hppi = object MARHULLPPI()
!fname = 'ER2-CPLP2P'

Description
Marine Drafting – Dynamic Feed-Back when Creating/updating Dimensionings
Description
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4, dynamic feed-back has been implemented in functions creating or
updating dimensionings:
• When supplying each measure point in Linear 2d/3d Dimensioning creation
• When locating the dimension line in Linear 2d/3d/Axis Parallel Dimensioning creation
• When locating the leader line in Radius/Diameter Dimensioning creation
• When moving radius/diameter text in Modify/Dimension/Move Dimension Text function
• When moving the dimension line in Modify/Dimension/Move Dimension Line function
• When changing witness line direction in Modify/Dimension/Slant Witness Line function
Also, some other improvements:
• Snapping to cardinal axis during "Modify/Dimension/Slant Witness Line" now also in 3D.
• When checking placement for “text outside” in Linear 2d/3d Dimensioning creation, no need for
user to indicate side explicit (during location of dimension line, the hair-cross position gives the
wanted side)
• When creating Axis Parallel dimensioning, side for text is now derived when locating the
dimension line.
Benefits
Improved user feed-back when creating/updating dimensionings (WYSIWYG)

None

None

Description
Marine Drafting – Moving texts in Radius/Diameter Dimensionings
Description
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 it is now possible to move the text in Diameter and Radius dimensionings
also parallell to the reference line in the interactive function Modify Dimensioning/Move Dimension Text.
This means that the text can be moved "freely". However, for dimensionings of type Straight, Knuckled
and Cross with text outside, the offset cannot be negative (while it can for type Cross with text inside).
During positioning of the text, the user is guided by dynamic highlighting..
In PADD, the “offset text along reference line” is preserved by the u-component of attribute DTOF of
PDIM element. The offset when creating new dimensionings is zero (like in previous versions).
Benefits
Possibility to move dimension text freely, with dynamic feed-back.
None

None
Affected Programs
Description
Marine Drafting – Available Space for Dimension Texts using Default Keyword
DIM_FAC4
Description
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 it is now possible to safely control the strategy for deriving available space
for dimension texts.

When creating dimensionings (linear, cross radius/diameter, curve), the available space for the
dimension text has by default been derived as the gap between the arrows, not between the witness
lines. Moreover, the default keyword DIM_FAC4 has been used to define the “clearance” between the
arrows and the dimension text (this factor multiplied with the arrow length). The system default value is
0.3. Setting this factor to zero means no clearance. Negative values has been allowed but not
recommended.
In case the dimension text does not fit, the size of it will optionally be reduced in order to fit within the
available space. The reduction involves primarily decreasing the aspect and if that is not enough, the
height is also decreased. This behavior is controlled by the default keywords DIM_TEXT_ASPECT_FIT
and DIM_LIN_FIT.
A drawback is that the height of the dimension text might be reduced unnecessarily much, making it
hard to read the text.
To get better readability of dimension texts in narrow sections, user can make system ignore the arrows
during available space calculation, by setting DIM_FAC4 to -1.0. This approach has always been
possible but the result has not always been reliable.
In this release of Marine Drafting, this approach can be used safely.
Benefits
Possibility to safely control the available space for dimension texts

12.1.SP4.48
Description
The State of Hull Component
Description
Hull component stiffeners, plates and brackets now have new attributes to support checking quality and
maturity of the hull model.
Modelling state is captured in attribute MODSTY and can be set manually using a pseudo attribute
MODSTA to values “Preliminary”, “ByRule” or “Manual”. Typically, if customer creates/modifies hull
components with own software, state can then be set to “ByRule”.
“Preliminary” is set by system when thickness of plate or bracket is set to zero and when stiffener is
defined without endcut. Once these properties are given, state will be changed to “Manual”.
If component is set “ByRule” and component is changed using AVEVA standard functions, then state is
set to “Manual”.
Hull components with position numbers assigned are normally in a state where it is important to
understand if changes have occurred. If a stiffener, a plate or a bracket with position number defined is
changed by the user, then the new attribute ISCHGD is set to true. Comparison criteria is geometry and
properties affecting the actual manufacturing part that will be the result of the hull component.
The automatic generation of position numbers can look for changed parts, resort them and eventually
give them new position numbers.
Benefits
Better possibilities to check the quality of the model
None

Only noted here.
Affected Programs
Description
New API for Planar Panel Customizations
Description
A new API, Aveva.Marine.Planar, is introduced to edit hull element properties efficiently. The API is
based on the scheme statement syntax and statement keywords that can be queried and set using
dedicated objects and methods. Furthermore, topologically related elements, e.g. going from bracket
arm to related stiffener, can be found by reference methods supplied by the new API.

The execution of the created/modified statements will be done as before using the MarHullPan object in
the marAPI.
The API is available both from PML and .Net environments.
Benefits
More easier access and editing planar panel components via customization add-ins.
This will lead to more easier execution of Rule Based Design principals.
None

Description
Enhanced for handling of Hull Text
Description
When a Hull Text is to be projected, the Hull Text drawing must be organized in a correct way. This can
be achieved with help of the functions Split Subpicture. It is, however, a complicated task to get this
Hull Text drawing in perfect shape with respect to its internal organisation.
Each level in the picture must also have specific and correct attributes.
For this, there is now introduced a new function to help organising the drawing.
The function is under Hull Tools → Hull Text → Verify.

This should be invoked when the Hull Text drawing is current.
Before invoking the function, the Hull Text should be reorganised with help of Split Subpicture and each
element that should be projected, placed on Component level:

When this is done, invoke the Hull Text → Verify function and the system will automatically reorganise
the drawing to be in a correct state and ready for projection, as in the first picture above.
An example:
Benefits
This will make the projection of the Hull Text, when made as plates, more accurate.

Marine Drafting – User Confirm of Layer Status Report
Description
Whenever a drawing is opened or a new one is created, the current status of layer settings is reported
in the message window (e.g. “The following layers are hidden …”).
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 it is now possible to control if the Layer Status Report should be confirmed
by user. The intention is to force user pay attention to the report.
For this purpose, a new Drafting Default Keyword has been introduced.
Keyword:
LAYER_STATUS_REPORT_CONFIRM
System default value:
“Never”
Explanation:
When a drawing is opened or a new one is created (also via Marapi functions DwgNew and DwgOpen),
this keyword controls if the Layer Status Report should be confirmed by user.

Legal values:
"Never” No user confirm
"Always" Let user confirm the report
Benefits
Possibility to force user pay attention to layer status report

Description
Copy Assistant API
Description
A new .NET class is defined with two methods (Export and Import) and marked as PMLNetCallable and
can thereby be called from PML.
This enabled for customized development using utilizing two exposed methods Export and Import.
Import 'CopyAssistAddin'
using namespace 'CopyAssistAddin'
!copyobj = object CopyAssist()
The CopyAssist object expose two methods, Export and Import where both take a string argument.
!copyobj.export('C:\Temp\CSuites\CopySuite1.sxs')
!copyobj.import('C:\Temp\CSuites\CopySuite1.sxs')
The string argument is meant to refer a file describing input data for Export and Import operations. Such
a file is denoted as a Copy Suite consisting of a number of Copy Sets where each Copy Set contains a
selection of elements. A Copy Suite file is used for both Export and Import operations but the selection
of elements is used only at Export and ignored at Import. Following example of a Copy Suite file shows
two Copy Sets (CopySet1 and CopySet2) both with selection of three elements for export. At Import
only the name of Copy Set is fetched from the Copy Suite while element information is retrieved from
the Copy Set folder (CopySet1 alt CopySet2). There is no schema definition to validate the correctness
of data so preparing a Copy Suite file requires accuracy. However, a logging mechanism is provided to

direct failure messages to file on %TMP%/<CopySuiteName>_export.log alt
%TMP%/<CopySuiteName>_import.log
<copysuite>
<copyset file="C:\Temp\CSets\CopySet1">
<selection>
<element name="/ER2-LP32_2" />
<element name="/ER2-LP38_2" />
<element name="/ER2-BHD-FR35-1" />

</copyset>
<copyset file="C:\Temp\CSets\CopySet2">
<selection>
<element name="/ER2-BHDFR42-1" />
</selection>
</copyset>

Description
Marine Drafting – Text Alignment User Interface
Description
The default text alignment in Marine Drafting has so far been Horizontal "Left" and Vertical "Base Line"
without possibility for user to control.
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 Hotfix, a user interface for controlling the alignment while placing a text in
the drawing has been introduced.
A new toolbar "Text Alignment", offering horizontal alignments "Left", "Centre" and "Right", and vertical
alignments "Top", "Half Height", "Middle", "Base Line" and "Bottom", will be enabled whenever a text is
about to be positioned in the drawing.
Alignment control is available in following functionality:
- Annotate/Label
- Annotate/Markup
- Insert/Text
- Dimension/Area
- Dimension/Distance
- Modify/Label/Move
- Modify/Move/Text
- Modify/Copy/Text
At start-up of Marine Drafting, the default text alignment is "Left" and "Base Line" as before.
Note that when changing text status during multi-row text insertion, the “Text Corner Reference” choice
has been removed (now covered by alignment functionality). Also note that when aligning multi-row text
horizontally, all rows will be justified according to selected alignment.
The alignment is useful also when aligning to other texts in the drawing, e.g. when using the "2D Lock"
toolbar options while moving the text.
Benefits
Improved functionality and user control while positioning text in the drawing.

been incorporated in the following dimensioning dialogs:
- Linear 2D
- Radius
- Diameter
- Angle
- Linear 3D
- Axis Parallel
The blanking group contains:
A check button Blank Out, controlling whether model geometry obscured by the dimensioning should
be blanked-out (see Drafting default keyword DIM_AUTO_BLANKING)
A text field Margin, denoting the margin used when blanking-out (see Drafting default keyword
DIM_BLANKING_MARGIN)
For example, the dialog in Linear 2D dimensioning now looks like:
Note that “Advanced” and “Mould Line” buttons has been moved slightly to make room for the blanking
group.

Marine Drafting – Picking In 3D View
Description
The 3D view is available on both Hull Design/Outfitting Design and Marine Drafting/Outfitting Draft
modules. However when selecting an element in the 3D canvas the result is different in the design
modules compared to the draft/drafting modules. For example, when picking a flange on a pipe:
• In Hull Design/Outfitting design the flange will be selected in the 3D view and the flange will also
become the current element in the design explorer.
• In Marine Drafting/Outfitting Draft the whole pipe branch is selected and it is also the pipe branch
that will become the current element in the design explorer.
There has now been some improvements to support the “Design” picking mode in in Marine Drafting
and Outfitting Draft. Please note that the other way around is not possible: Design can only have design
picking mode.
In Marine Drafting this new picking option is controlled by a new Drafting default keyword
“VIEW3D_PICK_MODE“. It may be assigned to any of the two values:
1. Design - The picking mode should be “as in Design”. This is the only legal when you are in a
design module. When in marine drafting, this value can activate the “design” way of picking.
2. Drafting - The picking mode should be the default drafting mode. This is not a legal value working
in a design module.
(The pre-selected value of the default keyword depends on the module. In Marine Drafting it is
“Drafting” and in design it is “Design”)
In Outfitting Draft the design pick mode can be activated by unchecking the option “Draft Pick Mode”
that can be found in the menu “3D View\Settings”. This is only available when the 3D view is opened
and the setting will only apply to the current instance of the 3D view. (This is different to Marine Drafting
where all instances of the 3D view will apply to the current drafting default setting.)
Benefits
The drafting and design picking result is the same which can be less confusing for the user.

Marine Drafting – Defining owner in Multi-Select Copy function
Description
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 Hotfix, the “Multi-Select” Copy function has been improved by letting the
user define the target owner for the copies.
In previous releases, the selected elements were always copied to the same owner as the source.
If the selection contains elements below view level, the system will now ask the user to indicate the
target owner for those elements:
• If a target owner is indicated by user, each element in the selection will then be copied
below appropriate level in that owner structure.
• By clicking “Operation Complete”, the same owner will be used. Each element will then
be copied within the same owner (default behaviour in previous releases).
• By clicking “Options”, a new owner view will be created. Each element will then be
copied below appropriate level in that owner structure.
Moreover, a check for model information within the selection is done in the same manner as in the
Modify/Copy/Subpicture function (the drafting default keyword
MODEL_SUBPICTURE_2DREGROUP_ALLOW is used to decide if model information should be
copied).

also controls the behavior when updating text belonging to a Note component.
When updating a text element belonging to a note component (not persisted in PADD, but still possible
to re-evaluate) the system can react in two ways:
• Allowing the update, keeping in mind that the modification will be lost at the time the Note is re-
evaluated (e.g. when moving the Note by Modify/Move/Reference)
• Deny the modification on geometry level but instead applying it on Note level (forcing a re-
evaluation of the whole Note) if this is possible
The system will apply the modification on Note level if and only if
• The text belongs to a Note component
• The modification makes sense on Note level
• This default keyword is set to YES

Placing Components at a Selected Snap Point
In addition to the place3D button on the component editor form the place in line functionality has been
extended to use any graphical feature as a positioning point.
Previously the user would need to pick the appropriate tube element in which to insert components and
the components would be positioned at the exact picked position along the tube. This functionality still
works as before, but now it is possible to pick any item as a positioning point using graphical tools.
The next two views show the current situation where the user picks a component position in tube and
the component is placed accordingly.

The following shows the result of picking an alternate design element. This time it is necessary to pick
the insert component so that the system knows which tube to insert into so now we are positioned at
the elbow.

Here a pline of the section is selected.
The component is placed in line with the section.

It is now possible to extend the current tube by selecting an item outside the current tube length. Here
we are selecting the next section along, to place another tee.
The system now asks if it is ok to extend the tube. If you answer yes, the component is positioned as
requested. If you answer no, the tee will be deleted.

New Pipe Settings Form Added
Piping Settings/Defaults
The main purpose of the new pipe settings form is to add control of how Pipe tappings are used but it
also includes basic default settings for the component creation form and tube insertion values which
can now use Datacon tube ranges.
The new form can be controlled or uncontrolled depending on the project requirements. If the form is
controlled, the form will be read only for normal users displayed for reference only. If it is controlled it
can be accessed by designated users and free users

The actual trigger for enabling the control to be read only will be the existence of a team called
PIPINGADMIN in the project. When the settings are first loaded the initialisation will check for the
existence of the PIPINGADMIN team and load the file from the projects defaults area. If a settings file
does not exist in the project area it will create one with default settings. This will be read only for normal
users but can be changed by any member of the PIPINGADMIN team or any free user.
The file for controlled piping defaults will be put in the PDMSDFLTS area as:
'%PDMSDFLTS%/piping_settings_General'
Where the piping defaults form is uncontrolled the piping defaults file will be in the PDMSUSER area
and there will be a RW file for each user in the form:
'%AVEVA_DESIGN_USER%/piping_settings_Username
The Piping settings form has two main areas, the component creation and Non Standard Branch
connections.
The component creation area contains some settings which were once stored in a file in the
PDMSUSER area with a name component creation_<username>. This file is now superseded by a new
file with a name piping settings_<username> which contains more user preferences.
Controlling the Insert Tube Length for Component Creation
When a component is inserted into tube in the Component Creation form there is a process which
determines where the component will be inserted. Basically two values are considered; Snap Distance
and Minimum Tube length.
If the picked position is less than the current Snap distance away from a component the process will try
to connect to the previous component. The minimum tube distance can be different to the snap
distance and works to ensure that the minimum tube between welds is a practical value. Unfortunately
Snap and Minimum Tube values are single values and the default is 100mm.
There is another way of setting these values by introducing a factor for example 2 times the outside
diameter with a text of “2 * OD’ for snap Distance and/or Min Tube Length.
Neither option is ideal because one provides a single value for all sizes and the multiple method
provides an odd length on which to base a measurement.
For this development two extra fields have been added to provide a means of using pre-set Datacon
tube lengths based on bore size.
Previously Snap Dist and Min.Tube these values were stored in a user defaults file but now they are set
using the piping settings form as shown below. Both values can be a value or a bore based expression
as shown:
This view shows examples of the old methods
This method shows the Datacon options set.

The default Datacon tolerance is a simple 100mm for everything but it can have different values for up
to 10 bore ranges.
If you have tube tolerances set, the command Q TOL TUBE will show you what they are.
Here is a sample:
Minimum tube length :100mm
Minimum tube length :75mm for Bores from 10mm to 65mm

Any tube bores not covered by the ranges will get the default 100mm tolerance
The mid part of the form relates to settings on the component creation form itself and simply define how
the form is first displayed. Auto align, Auto Create, Select Adjacent Out of Spec and Skip Connected
Comps will all appear as defined by these default settings. However once the form is in use during a
design session the defaults will not be applied again.
The Descriptions pulldown controls how the component creation form displays component choice.
The Full option displays a combination of Catalogue texts - STYPE, RTEXT and MTXX. For example:
The other options are cut down versions:

R Text
Note in the example below S text, T Text and Catalogue Reference the tables are the same because
there are no values set in the standard catalogue for STEXT and TTEXT and the default is to use the
catalogue reference if no other value can be found.
The Non Standard Branch defaults area contains some options to configure where and how NSBC
connections may be made.
How NSBC connections are used are controlled by the Non Standard Branch Connections box on the
piping Settings form
The options are shown below:

The Not Allowed option restricts NSBC completely if the user ties to create a connect ion the following
massage is displayed:
The From Specification option means that NSBC connections are available on pipes whose PSPEC
has reference to a tapping table and the current bore size is valid. If a user tries to select a pipe which
does not have a valid tapping spec, the following is displayed:
The No Restriction option, as the title suggests, allows any combination on any pipe with no
restrictions.
The final option allows you to use a tapping table. Although only one table is shown in the list, it will
show all of the tables available and allow you to select any one.
If multiple tables are in use, it’s probably better to assign them to the piping specs using the tap
reference attribute.
The final option is the Not Allowed in Tube toggle. Ticking this prevents NSBC connections from being
used in tube, thus forcing the user to use conventional tees or olets from the piping spec.

Project Data updates
In order to enable the control of tappings and part of a bug fix, there is a macro which needs to be run
into the MAS project before this development will work properly. The is located in:
Data12.1.SP4\pdmsui\DFLTS\data\SP4Update\Update.pmldat
To run this, go to Paragon in the MAS project with mdb /ALLMAS
If the macro is located in the correct place it can be run by:
CALLDEF data\SP4Update\Update.pmldat from the Paragon module
Note this macro creates a new tapping table then goes to Propcon to create some weights, the returns
to Paragon to finish. If everything loads ok savework and go to design.
The SP4Update directory is contained in a zip file which will be supplied.

New 3-D Component Creation Button
Traditionally there have been two methods for inserting components into a branch, connect and place.
Both methods insert new components into an existing pipe route but always in line with the current
constrained centreline. For this development a new insertion method has been introduced (Place3D) to
allow a new component to be inserted using the event driven graphics picking mechanism.
This works by inserting a new component after the current element in the branch but its position is
determined by an event driven pick. The actual position can be derived by any of the EDG pick options
and the component is placed at the picked Position. At this point the model editor is invoked to allow
further position adjustment.
Below is an example of placing a valve:

Description
Changes to Non-Standard Branch Connection functionality
When creating branches using NSBC the user was not able to change the bore size after fixing the
position. This was an unnecessary restriction and has now been removed. Additionally the bore size
option is moved to the top of the panel to improve workflow and make it more noticeable. The forms
changes are shown below:
The old layout
The new layout
As well as the changes to the Layout, you can now change the size of an unconnected branch
providing it has no components. Connection options and insert depths are re calculated to suit.
Description
Pipe Tapping Tables in Paragon

A pipe tapping table is a new table type for use with Non-Standard Branch Connections(NSBC)NSBC
connections have 5 specific types which are identified by the following codes:
The types are:
STU = Insert Connection
SSU = Surface Connection
SSA = Saddle Connection
SEX = Extrusion Connection – Where the main tube is extruded to form a dome for welding
TAP = Boss/olet/half coupling from the current spec
The Tapping Table lists combinations codes and bore sizes to control which options are available at
specific bores. A practical table called /TAPPINGS-Default-Table is included in the data section of this
release and provides an example of the size ranges often used.
A new tapping table is created via the branch table functionality and is achieved by creating a table with
the PURPOSE of PTAP
The Table form looks like this:

New values can be pasted into multiple rows and columns using select and paste.

Changes to Quick Pipe Router Bend selection
When using the quick pipe router it is possible to either use elbows, or bends for changing pipe
direction. Quick Pipe Router used to apply a default radius to bends if it could not find a suitable radius
from the specification.
Now the user has a choice of how bend radius is calculated based on a new bend radius selection
form. This can be initiated by right clicking on the quick pipe router direction handle or it appears
automatically if Quick Pipe Router cannot find a default.
To select bends in Quick Pipe Router, select Component Choice then Use Bends
If the bend radius has been set in the specification, then this radius will always be used.
If you select use bends and there is no radius set in the specification, then you have the option to set a
bending machine or a defined radius.
If neither of them are set when you select use bends, the default radius selection form will show
automatically.
New screenshot
At the top of the form, the current creation options are shown. This shows you the branch that the quick
pipe router is modifying.
If the form is being displayed when using the specification, the form will be entirely greyed out when
opened and it will specify that it is using a specification at the top of the form.

Also at the top of the form there are two options for the user to select whether they want the quick pipe
router to try and use a bending machine, or use a defined radius.
Clicking on these options will grey out irrelevant gadgets on the form.
Bending Machine
If the user selects bending machine, then the bending machine options will be made available.
Within the drop down box is the complete list of bending machines that are available in the MDB.
It is possible to set either a bending machine, a bending machine group, or a bending machine world.
You can set the bending machine at either branch, pipe or zone level.
When the bending machine is set, the bending machine is first validated against the current branch, if
the bending machine cannot be used on the current branch, the user is asked if they wish to proceed.
If the user clicks no, the bending machine is not set and the form closes. If the user clicks yes, the
bending machine is set at the level selected on the form.
The quick pipe router will always use the bending machine that is set at the lowest level,
e.g. BRAN > PIPE > ZONE
If the user attempts to set the bending machine at an upper level, e.g. PIPE, then a check will be done
to see if a different bending machine has been set at the branch. If it has the user will be asked if they
wish to remove the bending machine at the lower level.
It is also possible to unset the bending machine at a particular level by selecting unset from the drop
down list.

Default Radius
Setting the form to Default Radius will activate the default radius options.
It is possible to either set the default radius to a multiple of the outside diameter. Or set the radius as a
user defined value.

Description
Naming and Colour Rules Enhancement (SI 59072, 59073, 59074)
Naming Rules
Naming rules are critical on a project, and access to change rules that could change element naming
should be restricted to users with certain privileges. This is already implemented for Autonaming rules
on the Naming Settings form, where users without Administration privileges are not permitted to open
the Define Rules form.
Users with access to change Naming Rules:
• Any Free user
• Any user in MASTER team or a team with name <Module Key>ADMIN, e.g. DESADMIN.
• In Paragon - users belonging to team CATADMIN
• In Draft - users belonging to team DRAFTADMIN
Autocolour Rules
Element colouring rules are not as critical as naming rules on some projects, depending on project
working practices. Ordinary users (i.e. users not in an ADMIN team) may be permitted to change colour
rules.
The problem highlighted is that Element Rules are stored in PDMSUSER or project defaults or system
defaults folders under the name MARODES-ELEMENT-RULES.PMLDAT (in Marine). This file can be
modified from the Naming Rules GUI only if logged in as an ADMIN user. However, this same file can
be modified from the Auto Colour Rules GUI by a user without ADMIN privileges. The same level of
ADMIN protection to the Element Rules file when modifying Auto Colour Rules and Naming Rules is
requested.
Naming and Colour Rule Files

When loading Naming or Colour rules the system will search for the rule definition files in the following
order:
1. User folder (%PDMSUSER%)
2. Project defaults folder (%<Project ID>DFLTS%)
3. System defaults folder (%PDMSDFLTS%)
The first such file found will be opened, and this is the file that will be changed if the rules are saved.
Resolution SI 59074: Restrict Access to Element Rules from the Auto Colour Setting Form
Access is still available to all users to add or modify auto-colour rules, but access to the Element Rules
is restricted. [Note that some existing 12.1.SP4 Marine and Plant users who are currently able to
modify their Auto Colour rules and Element rules will have restricted access following this hot-
fix.]
From the Auto Colour Rules form, any user can still show the Element Rules form. They need to be
able to see the details of each Element Rule so that they can judge whether the rule is useful to be
used as part of an Auto Colour rule definition.
On the element rules form they can still add new rules, but they can only add them to their own
PDMSUSER area. They cannot modify or add to project or company rules. They cannot override
company or project rules with a local version of a rule because rule names cannot be duplicated.
For a user without administration privileges the option to save Element Rules to any location other than
PDMSUSER is denied.

The Naming rules user interface is unchanged for SI 59074.
Resolution SI 59073: Store Auto Colour rules to Defaults from the Auto Colour Setting Form
The requirement is to be able to store changes back to the Colour Rules file that was opened.
Currently, opening the PDMSDFLTS file to edit colour rules writes the result back to PDMSUSER. Then
the user has to manually copy the file to the project defaults folder or to the system defaults folder. It
can be argued that it is good practice to encourage new rules to be checked locally before being shared
with other users.
The changes made to meet this requirement are as follows:
A new paragraph has been added to the Graphics Settings form Colour tab to indicate which set of
rules had been opened (User defined, Project defined or System defined):
Any user opening colour rules in PDMSUSER will be allowed to store changes back to PDMSUSER.
A user without Administration privileges can open a project or system defined colour rules file, but
cannot overwrite it, so they will be prompted to ask if they want to save their changes to PDMSUSER.
A user with Administration privileges can open a project or system colour rules file and store changes
back to that file if:
• They have write access to the file
• They have not use locally stored Element Rules in their colour rules, because these rules might
not be accessible by other users.
In both cases a warning message will be issued, and the user given the opportunity to save their
changes to their PDMSUSER folder.
Resolution SI 59072: Store Auto Naming rules to Defaults from the Auto Naming Setting Form
The requirement is to be able to store changes back to the Naming Rules file that was opened.
Currently, modified naming rules loaded from a system or project naming rules file are written back to
PDMSUSER. Then the user has to manually copy the file to the project or system defaults folder. It can
be argued that it is good practice to encourage new rules to be checked locally before being shared
with other users.
The changes made to meet this requirement are as follows:
A new paragraph has been added to the Naming Settings form to indicate which set of rules has been
opened (User defined, Project defined or System defined):

Only users with Administration privileges can proceed to the Define Naming Rules form, so there is no
change in behaviour for most users. Only users with Administration privileges can use the File > Save
command on the File menu.
A user with Administration privileges can open a system or project naming rules file, and store changes
back to that file if:
• They have write access to the file
• They have not used locally stored element rules in their naming rules, because these rules
might not be accessible to other users.
In both cases a warning message will be issued, and the user given the opportunity to save their
changes to their PDMSUSER folder.

Marine Drafting – Transforming Model Subviews
Description
In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 Hotfix, a new function Tools/Model/Transform has been introduced. The
function is used to transform model subviews, where the “high design” level is controlled by the default
keyword AUTO_OUTFITTING_LEVEL.

Marine Drafting – Sectioning of Models in “Wireline Hidden Line” View Type
Description
There has been a changed in how model views with section planes (VSEC elements) are handled in
12.1.SP4.26. Previously the view type “wireline hidden line” meant that no sectioning was performed at
all on Outfitting Models, i.e. the whole model was presented, disregarding if it was inside or outside the
sectioning planes.
Typically Hull Symbolic Views will have section planes where the planes are created automatically to
map the limits defined for the symbolic view. There will also be section planes if the Marine Drafting
function Tools\Model View\Slice have been used.
In Marine Drafting/Hull Design the change will primarily affect Outfitting Models and assemblies. Hull
models have sometimes a “slicing” functionality of its own applied:
• In hull symbolic views
• When the view type is not global hidden line or universal hidden line
In Outfitting Draft all models are affected.
If sectioning is not desired on the view, the view type used should be “wireline” or the section planes
should be removed.
Benefits
Better performance when creating sliced/sectioned model views compared to the use of view type
“modelled wireline” which is slower.
None.

Improved Cutout Welding Control
Description
The existing environment variable SBH_CUTOUT_TIGHT specifies a tolerance to be used when
checking whether a part of a cutout should be welded against a profile or not. There has been a
demand for being able to specify this tolerance for the web and flange part of the profile individually.
Two new environment variables have been added:
SBH_CUTOUT_TIGHT_WEB defines the maximum distance between the cutout and the web part of
the profile, when the cutout is welded against the profile web.
SBH_CUTOUT_TIGHT_FLA specifies the corresponding maximum distance between the cutout and
the profile flange, when the cutout is welded against the profile flange.

Compare/Update Changes in 12.1.SP4 Fix.23

Compare/Update has had a major update in this release to align its functionality with AVEVA
Engineering 14.1.SP1 and Aveva Diagrams 14.1 and thus support integrated projects.
Taking Source Data from the AVEVA Integration Services

Compare/Update has the option to take source data from the new AVEVA Integration Services. This
service can be configured to access data from AVEVA Instrumentation, Electrical and P&ID, thus

allowing access to those products’ data without the need to have them installed on the same computer.
In the Configuration Wizard a new option to use Service Mode has been introduced.
Set Mode to Local if the source data is to be from a product installed on the same computer.
Set Mode to Service if the source data is to be from the AVEVA Integration Services. The window
changes to show fields for Server Name, Port and Source. These should be set according to the
Service configuration.
AVEVA Integration Services is available as a separate install. For more information refer to its
Installation and User Guides.
Multiple Configurations with the Same Source and Destination Types

The earlier restriction of a single configuration for any given combination of source and destination type
has been removed. This means it is now possible to define multiple configurations to cover different
subsets or attribute selections of the same types, or to allow configuration with and without member
hierarchies.
Compare Parent/Child Hierarchy

Compare/Update can compare a parent/child hierarchy, such as equipment and nozzles. Each level of
the hierarchy is controlled by a separate configuration. A step in the Configuration Wizard allows child
configurations to be included with a parent.

Where the comparison includes a parent/child hierarchy, individual levels can be expanded or
collapsed by clicking on the "+" and "-" cells.
Import of Instruments to Instrument, Equipment and SubEquipment

Compare/Update now supports compare and import of Instruments from AVEVA Instrumentation to
Design element types Instrument, Equipment and SubEquipment. This gives the capability, for
example, to separate instruments into inline, offline mounted, and offline non-mounted.
Note: The integration UDA pmg-design-ai should have its element list extended to include types
Cable, Equipment, Instrument and SubEquipment.
Groups of Configurations
Compare/Update can now run a group of configurations as a single operation. The Administrator can
define groups of configurations using the new Manage Groups option.

The Manage Groups form can be used to create groups and allocate configurations to those groups.
A configuration can be in more than one group. A setting on the Define Rule Set page of the
Configuration Wizard allows the administrator to define if a configuration can be run standalone.
Unless Make this Configuration standalone is checked, the configuration can be run only as part of a
group. Configurations set to be available standalone may also be in groups.

The end user will see a combined list of the groups and those configurations that have been made
available standalone. When comparing, the results will be shown concatenated from each configuration
in the group in turn. When updating, a separate owner may be entered for each configuration in the
group.
Owner Expression Step in Configuration Wizard

A step in the Configuration Wizard allows an optional Owner Expression to be entered. This will be
evaluated against the appropriate source object during the Update Database process to determine the
owner for an inserted object.
The expression can be tested by selecting an object of the appropriate source type and pressing the
Test button.
During the Update Database process, the precedence of determining the owner for an inserted object
will be:
1. From the parent/child hierarchy if updating using a child configuration
2. From a PML callback if defined
3. From the owner expression if defined
4. From the setting in the Update Database dialogue

Allow Update Setting for Attributes
Attribute mapping may be restricted to comparison only. Each attribute has its own setting to Allow
Update.
Update Database dialogue more compact

The Update Database dialogue now hides sections not relevant to the current results. For example if
there are only unmatched items to be inserted, it will hide the section for linked or matched items to be
updated.
New “Accept All” Options

Where a Fluent UI is available, the options to accept objects for update have been expanded:
• Accept All Displayed accepts all displayed rows and is used to insert new objects and update
attribute values.
• Accept All Linked accepts all linked objects and is useful in order to unlink.
• Accept All Matched accepts all matched objects and is useful to link objects and/or update
attribute values.
• Accept All Unmatched accepts all unmatched objects and is useful to insert new objects.
• Accept None clears the current acceptance selection.
Note that the older UI style retains the simple Accept All button.
The PML methods have been expanded to be consistent with the accept options:
• acceptAllDisplayed() accepts all available changes.
• acceptAllLinked() accepts all linked objects.
• acceptAllMatched() accepts all matched objects.
• acceptAllUnmatched() accepts all unmatched objects.
• updateLink() now updates attributes for linked objects for consistency with the Update
Database dialogue default settings.
Note: Existing macros require modification

• An Accept method is now required prior to an Update in PML. Previously there was an implicit
acceptance of available changes. This is no longer the case.
• The acceptAllLink() method has been renamed to acceptAllLinked() for consistency with the
User Interface.
PML Callbacks

Specific company and project customisations can be implemented using PML callbacks and a
framework is provided for this purpose. Methods are provided in the cuProjectHandler PML object to
enable additional checks and actions:
• Switch PML events on or off

• Switch debug mode on or off
• Perform checks before starting the comparison; can abort the whole run
• Perform checks before comparing each object; can skip that object
• Carry out actions after comparing each object
• Carry out actions at the end of the comparison; save comparison results grid to file
• Perform checks before starting the update; can abort the whole update
• Perform checks before updating each object; can skip that object; can set an owner for inserted
object to override the owner from the Update dialogue
• Carry out actions after updating each object
• Carry out actions at the end of the update; save update results grid to file
Upgrading from earlier versions

Configurations from earlier versions of Compare/Update require upgrade. A member of team
CUADMIN can trigger an automatic upgrade by opening the Options dialogue. If upgrades are available
a prompt will be displayed to proceed. Once completed a log file will be displayed. This file is stored in
the folder CUConfigs2.0 under the project defaults folder. It will list which configurations have been
upgraded or skipped, along with any warnings.
The upgrade will not overwrite any configurations already defined in the later version. It will first
upgrade available configurations from Engineering 14.1 and then from earlier versions of 12.1.SP4.
Note that configurations with source AVEVA P&ID will require a service port number to be added
manually.

HULL DESIGN – Stable multi face RSO reference

Description
In a case where a boundary limit is defined as a reference to an RSO face that face is supposed to be
adjacent to the face of the same RSO defining the panel plane.
However if the RSO is modified it may be that the faces are renumbered and limits defined this way
may get the wrong face number reference giving unpredictable results when regenerating.

The solution is similar to the one for panel plane by RSO face. By giving an axis aligned ray (point)
intersecting the panel plane close to the midpoint of the boundary limit a stable reference to the face
can be created.
A coordinate pair in the global coordinate system is given, either (X,Y) or (X,Z) or (Y,Z). These
coordinate pairs will geometrically describe a ray in space. From the intersection between this ray and
the panel plane a point is created that is compared with the RSO face limits defining the panel plane.
Provided that the closest face limit is common to another face, this face is the chosen to form the
boundary limit.
From now on the system will automatically update the boundary definition provided the panel plane is
defined via an RSO face number on a multi face RSO. When storing the panel a ray definition will be
created and added to the boundary definition. The direct face number will be kept as information, but
the ray will take precedence.
At storing, if the face number is out of date it will be updated from the ray. Single face RSOs are not
affected by this development.
Benefits
Boundary limits defined by an RSO face reference will be insensitive to RSO face renumbering.
None.

Marine Drafting – Copy Drawings

Description
There is a new function in the File\Databank menu, “Copy Drawings”. This function can be used to copy
drawings within a project. The drawings will be copied to a specific location pointed out by the user, for
example to a DEPT or a REGI in another database. Normally when you create new drawings in Marine
Drafting they will be automatically placed in a REGI depending on the drawing type and the project
setup. This handling is overridden by this “Copy Drawings” function.
The function can be run interactively or started as a batch job, the latter is recommended for many
drawings or big drawings since the copy function can be a rather heavy operation.
For a complete description please refer to the attachment provided in the Knowledge Base Item 5350 in
AVEVA Helpdesk. Updated user documentation will follow in the next 12.1.SP4 User Documentation
release.
Benefits
Possibility to copy drawings to a specific location for example in another database.

Fabrication support of Bocad Models

Description
The Hull production software has been updated to allow manufacturing of plates and profiles released
into the manufacturing database from Bocad 3D. The following updates are made in Hull:
• Plates and profiles are allowed to be stored with names containing both upper and lower case
characters. PPI and related dialogues are changed accordingly
• The PPI dialogue is updated allowing selection from the work packages available in the
manufacturing database.
• Profiles in the manufacturing database can be stored without a marine end cut code, but
instead with the end cut geometry and significant parameters. The specific information will be
used and transferred into relevant document such as sketches and generic files.
• Plates and profiles in the manufacturing database can be stored without a marine specific bevel
code for edge preparation, but instead with the significant parameters describing the bevel. The
specific information will be transferred into relevant documents used for manufacturing.
• Holes and notches can now exist also on flanges of profiles. Furthermore, holes can be
described as drilled, threaded and sink.
• Profile sketches can be customized to display also the flanges of a profile in orthographic
projections
Benefits
A possibility to use the same manufacturing process for both marine and structural models.
If old input files with manufacturing part names given with lower-case characters are used, then these
needs to be updated with correct names.

RSO with Complex Geometry

Description
Hull Structural Design has been updated to better handle complex shapes. The user can now decide if
RSO faces shall be made planar and allow the automatic generation of the RSO geometry to subdivide
faces where it is needed. Furthermore, the process to make faces planar is made in a way that points
are moved only in the direction given by the rows in the shape definition. If this is not geometrically
possible, the sub-division of faces will take place.

Picture below is from the RSO Edit dialogue with the new Make Planar option.

Marine Drafting – Open Drawing, list “General Drawing”
Description
Before when listing “General drawings” in the “Open Drawing” dialog you could get a long list of
elements that are not “”true” General drawings. The reason for that is that also drawings with an
undefined Marine drawing type were listed under “General drawing”. These were typically drawings
generated via Outfitting Draft. In more detail it meant that SHEET elements with attribute
MARPTYPE 1 (General drawing) or 0 (Outfitting Draft generated drawing)
This has now changed. The system will only list SHEET elements where the attribute
MARPTYPE=1 under “General drawing” .
In case you still what to access the “Outfitting Draft” generated drawings (with MARPTYPE=0) you
will now have to use the “All Drawings” option, preferably with a name filter since “All Drawings” will
list any SHEET element in the MDB disregarding of drawing type.

Benefits
It is easier to list all general drawings without disturbance from “Outfitting Draft” generated
drawings.

selection is necessary. The Beneath element field is now always enabled (Checkbox removed) and
if you try to search with that field empty, it will do it on the world element (This has been
implemented by Peter Hall).
3. The “In Volume” checkbox under the “Within Volume” expander group is now only enabled if the
selected database type is “Design”.

Marine Drafting – Default Purge behaviour
Description

In Marine Drafting 12.1 SP4 it is now possible to configure how the ‘Purge” operation should treat
empty model subviews and views. The behaviour will be the same both during explicit Purge
(Tools/Inspect Drawing/Purge) & implicit Purge (automatically invoked in certain functions). The system
default configuration will result in same behavior as before (do not remove empty model subviews
during Purge & do not remove empty model views during implicit Purge ) with one exception: do not
remove empty model views during explicit Purge.
Note that the current way of handling empty model views in explicit Purge will be replaced by this
configuration tool.
For this purpose two new Drafting Default Keywords have been introduced.
Keyword:
MODEL_SUBVIEW_PURGE
“None”
Explanation:
Controls how the ‘Purge” operation should treat empty model subviews
Legal values:
"None" Preserve empty model subviews
"SDB" Remove empty model subviews in drawing only (the models will come back
when the ID-list is re-evaluated).
"PADD" Remove empty model subviews in drawing and also remove the model from
the PADD View definition
Keyword:
MODEL_VIEW_PURGE
“None”
Explanation:
Controls how the ‘Purge” operation should treat empty model views
Legal values:
"None" Preserve empty model views
"SDB" Remove empty model views in drawing only
"PADD" Remove empty model views in drawing and also remove the view definition in
PADD

Cut Information for Elbows on Pipe Sketch
The cut information for elbows can now be added to the Pipe Sketch drawing.
The cut length is calculated according to the following equation:
ͦͦ
Inside Arc Length (Li) = 2πri x ( Ѳ / 360˚ ) ͦ ͦͦ ͦͦ
Centre Arc Length (Lc) = 2πrc x ( Ѳ / 360˚ ) ͦ ͦͦ ͦͦ
Centre Arc Length (Lo) = 2πro x ( Ѳ / 360˚ ) ͦ ͦͦ
The Cut Information Table is created in the drawing if a trim able elbow’s angle is not 90 deg or at least
different from its catalogue standard angle.

In order to use this table, the user needs to create a NOTE in the outfitting draft module and set the
function of the NOTEs to ELBOCUTINFO as shown:
The method to create these notes is same is according to standards so please refer the Position and
Populate Backing Sheet in the user guide.
The MTO table contains the cutting angle information too.

Integrator and Compare/Update links become No Claim
In PDMS and Marine 12.1.SP4.Fix17, the Integrator link references have been made no claim.
The reference attributes deslnk, schlnk and englnk are set on the CYMLNK object which is normally
hidden from the end user, and these appear as pseudo attributes on the individual 3D, schematic and
engineering objects.
This enhancement resolves the scenario such as where the engineering user links their object to the
schematic object and then the 3D designer links their object to the schematic object, only to find this
rejected because the CYMLNK was claimed by the other user. The second link action no longer require
a claim of the CYMLNK, and the 3D object will now be linked to both the schematic and engineering

objects. The first user will have the CYMLNK in their claim list since they created it, but this does not
prevent the second user from also linking.
Note that it is still necessary for the concurrent users to save and get work in order to see each other’s
changes.
When used in a global project, we recommend that the project administrator creates a variant extract of
the Ref-DESI database for the CYMWRL (Integrator link world) at each location. This will remove the
global extract claim for linking.
The impact with linking is that the last update wins. Following consultation with representative users this
was accepted as reasonable, given that real world scopes of work were unlikely to result in a conflict
from this change.
This enhancement will also be delivered in the future AVEVA Diagrams 14.1, AVEVA Engineering
14.1.SP1 and AVEVA Everything3D™ 2.1 releases.

FEM – Hull Finite Element Modeller Enhancements
Description
Significant improvements have been made to the Hull Finite Element Modeller especially regarding the
calculated geometry. The result is more mesh-like taking the intended element size into account.
Curved parts are much smoother following the geometry of the underlying surfaces.
The FE modelling process is now more adaptive and runs recursively until no further operations
(connecting, combining, dividing elements) are left to be done.
By setting the environment variable SBH_FEM_CALC_ALL_PROPS to YES more section derived

properties for beam elements will be calculated e.g. static area moment about y- and z-axis.
Benefits
Improved and more mesh-like FE model that can be exported in new data formats.
On customer request the number of section derived properties for beam elements in the FE model has

REVERT Drawing Databases
In this hot fix there are some important changes to admin regarding the admin database operation
REVERT. The fix is improves how external files linked to database element are handled. Before this fix
it was difficult to use REVERT successfully in a PADD database where you store Marine Drafting
drawings. This documentation states what you need to consider if you want to use the new REVERT
functionality.
Storing of a Marine Drafting Drawing
Drawings created in Marine Drafting are special in that sense that they not only have data in the PADD
database they have additional information stored in the Marine Drawing object. This object normally
has a lot of data NOT stored in the PADD database. The Marine Drawing object is stored outside
PADD in an external file with .SDB extension. It is crucial that the SDB-files are properly maintained
otherwise the drawings will be corrupted.
Options for Saving Drawings - KEEP_SESSION_FILES
In case you want to use the database operations REVERT you must pay attention to the setting of the
Marine Drafting default keyword “KEEP_SESSION_FILES”. Every time you do “Save Drawing” in
Marine Drafting you will save a new version of the SDB-file. If you want to be able to REVERT you must
make sure you keep every version of the SDB-file by setting KEEP_SESSION_FILES to YES. You
must have used this consistently since you started to save drawings in the database. (For old database
where you don’t know how this setting has been used throughout the lifetime of the database, you
should MERGE CHANGES to get a fresh start).
Keeping all versions of the SDB files may bloat you disc storage. There are ways to clean up among
the SDB-files see below in section “Clean-Up of SDB-files”.
To be able to use the REVERT you must have run Marine Drafting with the drafting default setting
KEEP_SESSION_FILES = YES.
If you have done reverts with old version of Admin to your PADD databases the result is unpredictable
with respect to SDB-files. If you have database for which you don’t know the history with regarding
reverts, you should MERGE sessions to get a fresh start.
Clean-Up of SDB-files
You can clean up obsolete SDB-files in two ways:
1. When using the MERGE CHANGES command in Admin. Merge Changes means that some
session will be deleted and thus some versions of external files connected to the deleted
sessions will be obsolete. The merge command has an option to delete these obsolete external
files: FILEPURGE. See details the admin documentation: Administration\Reference
Manual\Command Details\Detailed Descriptions of Commands\ MERGE CHANGES (Project
Administration) >
2. By using a clean-up utility, “RemoveObsoleteSDB”. It can be activated in Marine Drafting or

Hull Design by the command “show !!RemoveObsoleteSDB”. Please see details in <reference:
Draft\Marine Drafting\Drafting\User Guide\Appendices\Remove Obsolete .SDB Files>
Description
Compare/Update Changes
Compare/Update now supports compare and import of Instruments from AVEVA Instrumentation to
Design element types Instrument, Equipment and Subequipment. This gives the capability, for
example, to separate instruments into inline, offline mounted, and offline non-mounted.
In order to use this new capability in existing projects it is necessary to replace one of the configuration
files. Delete the file DesignAIConfiguration.xml from the project folder <xxx>dflts\ModelManagement.
The system will subsequently copy the updated file in from the release folder. Any previously defined
configurations based on that combination of source and destination databases will need to be
configured again.
The integration UDA pmg-design-ai should have its element list extended to include types Cable,
Equipment, Instrument and Subequipment.

Compare/Update and Integrator Changes
Merging of partially populated links

merge partially populated links, e.g. 3D object “A” is linked to schematic object “A” by one link and
schematic object “A” is linked to engineering object “A” by another link, as can occur when links are
created in separate extract databases.
A new PML method has been provided so that links can be validated from the command line. This can
be run using the following syntax:
import 'MMservices'
using namespace 'Aveva.Pdms.MMServices'
!!mmManageLinks = object mmManageLinks()
!!mmManageLinks.validate()

Benefits: Database access will do fewer reads across the network reading more data at each time.
Activation: The performance improvement will activate automatically for Marine 12.1.SP4 applications
if the DbCacheService is installed and started.
Description
Compare/Update Changes
Compare/Update has some small enhancements in response to project feedback.
• The user is no longer prompted automatically to enter a filter on selecting a data source (for the
case where a filter has not already been defined). The Filters button is now active as soon as a
data source is selected, so a filter can be defined if required, prior to selecting a configuration to
run for comparison.
• On the Update Database form, the defaults for the two check boxes labelled “Update attributes
for linked items” have been changed to be on, so attributes will be updated by default.
• In the Configuration Wizard, attribute mapping can now include PML expressions in place of
source attributes. On the Attribute Mapping screen the source side can now consist of:
o Select an attribute from the dropdown list.

o Type the name of a pseudo attribute.
o Type a PML expression, enclosed in brackets, e.g. (DESC of OWNE). The expression
will not be evaluated at this point but will be evaluated at comparison time against the
source object.
o Type a static value, to set a default value onto a target attribute. Any value entered in
this way will not be validated at this point.
• Hull element type pseudo attributes are now recognised in the Configuration Wizard Attribute
Mapping.

2. FOUR_VIEWS_ON:
Show always four views. All four views are displayed even if the spool is located in one plane.
FOUR_VEWS_OFF (Default):
Show only one view if the spool is located in one plane.
All views will be merged to just one view.
If the value of function has no definition about “FOUR_VIEW_OFF”, the “FOUR_VIEW_OFF” will

Marine Drafting – WCOG for Outfitting Models
Description
The dimension function “Weight and COG” in Marine Drafting can be used to calculate WCOG for all or
some models in the view. You select models by selecting subviews in the drawing. A problem is that
the subview levels for outfitting models are not always a level that is relevant for WCOG calculation. For
example: for equipment, the subview can correspond to a TEMPL and not the equipment itself. For
pipes it is the BRAN that is the subview level.
To make this easier there is now a new drafting default keyword:
AUTO_OUTFITTING_LEVEL
It can have the following values:
NO Default. No change in behaviour, as before.

When selecting outfitting subviews the system will
YES always select a “pre-defined” model level no matter
what the subview represents. The pre-define levels
are: EQUI, STRU, PIPE, ROOM, VENT and
CWAY. So for the examples given above: WCOG
will be calculated for the equipment and the pipe
although the actual subviews represent something
else (TEMPL and BRAN).
The new keyword also has a similar effect on the function “Tools/Model/Copy”: For outfitting models
you will copy an EQUI, STRU, PIPE, ROOM, VENT or CWAY disregarding what the subview level
represents.
Benefits
It is now easier to create WCOG dimensions for outfitting models and to copy outfitting models between
views.

Piping components and their insulation drawn in the same graphical view
Over the years there have been many requests to provide functionality that allows for both piping
components and their insulation to be drawn in the same graphical view. This has not previously been
possible because insulation is not a separate entity and insulation parameters merely change the
physical size of the component.
In resolving this, we have changed the way in which the attribute ‘Insulation’ of the Representation
Style is used for the Piping Insulation.
• The Insulation flag does not now solely toggle Pipe Insulation On and Off
• The insulation flag continues to work as it did for all other insulation types
• There are two new Representation Style attributes that are used solely for Pipe Insulation.
PINSSTYLE integer/line_pattern the default value is OFF

PINSCOLOUR integer/colour_name
The result of using these new Representation Style attributes is as follows;
Fig1 Fig2 Fig3
Fig1. The Tube Flag is ON, the FFSTYLE is set to Solid, the Insulation flag is OFF and PINSSTYLE
is OFF. The result would be the same if the PINSSTYLE was set because the Insulation flag
still controls the toggling of all insulation.
Fig2. The Tube Flag is ON, the FFSTYLE is set to Solid, the Insulation flag is ON, the PINSSTYLE is
set to Dashed and the PINSCOLOUR is set to Blue
Fig3. The Tube Flag is ON, the FFSTYLE is set to Dashed, Insulation flag is ON, the PINSSTYLE is
set to Solid and the PINSCOLOUR is set to Blue.
Notice that the tube is dashed for only those that have insulation. To produce this type of
display, you will need to use two rules, one for the dashed tube and another for the solid tube.
The rule for the dashed tube shown here would contain a criterion such as the following;
USE STYLE /dashed_style FOR ALL BRAN MEM WITH INTHICK NEQ 0
Otherwise, the result would be that all tube were displayed dashed.
Please Note: Drawing both Pipe and Pipe Insulation in the same view means more graphics processing
and it will take longer to produce such a view compared to one that contains just Pipe or just Pipe
Insulation.
Please Note: For examples of DRAFT styles and rules that take advantage of the new features, please
see release 52212.

Multi-Discipline Supports Enhancements
A number of product enhancements have been introduced in MDS at this release. As a result of this,
user application data stored in the MDS/APPDEFAULTS database needs to be updated to take
advantage of these enhancements.
This can be achieved simply by an administrator in the Paragon module by using the “Check MDS
Application Defaults” utility provided in the Utilities menu.
See section entitled: Update Existing Client Project Application Defaults Databases in the Multi-
Discipline Supports Administrator Guide.
MDS has been enhanced to allow the Unique Naming of Supports, the Designer is prompted to Name
each Support Ancillary. This can be turned off In Paragon by unselecting Unique Support Names on the
Options (2) Tab of the Modify > Application Defaults Form.
Documentation for these enhancements is provided within the following product manuals;
Design Common Functionality User Guide (Support Clashing)
Multi-Discipline Supports User Guide and Multi-Discipline Supports Administrator Guide
(Preliminary Support Conversion, Support Functions, Reference Supports, Compensating Plates,

Add/Remove Toolbar, ABA Location Plan Grid Defaults, Hanger Interface Selection,
User Defined Ancillary Selection Criteria and Hanger Support Creation Zones)
Multi-Discipline Supports – Reference Databases
At release 12.1.SP4 the method in which MDS reference databases (i.e. MDS/CATA) are delivered has
been altered such that the MDS project is no longer supplied with the product.
MDS reference databases are now contained within the MAS project that forms part of the standard
product installation. This change was necessary to ensure on-going compatibility with the core product.
MDS users will need to reset the pointers to the MDS reference databases within their projects and re-
establish these databases within individual MDB’s
User definable content databases such as MDS/APPDEFAULTS and template databases do not need
to be re-associated.

Planar Hull:
Incident Issue Description

Number Number
22560, 68699, Title: Ehancement to draw the excess for the bracket and stiffener into the
89560, 191867, symbolic view
133752, 306238, Symptoms: See title.
131870, 299379, Previous/Known workaround: N/A
113905 249046 Solution: The keyword DRAW_EXC_BRA_STI is now implemented. When set
excess for stiffeners and brackets will be written. When the value is 'NOT SET'
this will behave as before.
122914 277442 Title: Problem for the knee of X-bevel with the variant 9 not to be centred in the
middle of the plate
Symptoms: If the X-bevel (bevel type 50) are defined with a difference in plate
thicknesses and centre plane of plates. This should then result in variant 9.
The knee of X-bevel with the variant 9 is not centred in the middle of the plate.
Instead it is assymetrical.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists.
Solution: This is now adjusted so the X-bevel is correctly centered.
124494 280796 Title: An System error WA201(0)=1005 occur when open or running the scheme
in knuckled panel.
Symptoms: The error is there if a sub-panel contains a welded flange.
Solution: The problem has been solved so that the scheme of the knuckled
panel is running without error.
141818 336001 Title: When Copy the panel, SUS=0; is added to target panel after copy the
panel.
Symptoms: See title
Previous/Known workaround: Remove SUS=0 using schema editor.
Solution: Corrected so the SUS=0 keyword will not appear.
145284 347703 Title: In the syntax 8 bracket, if the bracket name starts with the letter G, the
bracket toe is not generated.
Symptoms: See title
Previous/Known workaround: Rename the bracket so the first letter is not a
"G".
Solution: Corrected so the letter G will not influence the bracket toe.
149406 360962 Title: GEN_VIEW=Single does not work in Hull Design
Symptoms: Using GEN_VIEW=SINGLE has no effect. All views are updated
anyway.
Previous/Known workaround: This is a problem introduced in 12.1.SP4 Fix.51
and there are no known workarounds for this.
Solution: Corrected so GEN_VIEW=SINGLE will work as expected.
Number Number
362130 Title: An error occurs when defining a boundary using Profile Crosssection
Symptoms: Using the option "Profile Crossection" in the Statement Wizard will
fail and give the system response: Error Message: Can not interpret scheme
string with profile references!)
Previous/Known workaround: Manually change in the schema.
Solution: Corrected so the crossection boundary will be used.
149902 363240 Title: Stiffener End Symbol is different between AM12.1 SP4.37 and SP5.
Symptoms: Wrong endcut symbols for sniped endcuts in symbolic views.
Previous/Known workaround:
A change in the code has made the system to draw the wrong endcut symbol. To
get arround the problem the default keyword NOENDCUTSYMB has to be unset
from the beginning of the session (Is probably like this at the customer).
Further the environment variable SBH_PROF_END_SYMBOL_TAB has to be set
to any value.
This is a temporary workarround. We will adjust the code to work correctly again.
Solution: The error has been corrected so the correct endcut symbol is set.
142815 366154 Title: MAT_SYMB_SYMBNO_OFF does not work properly when stiffener is
referenced to the flanges of the panel.
Symptoms: When stiffener is created between two T-bar profile types, then the
stiffener material is displayed correctly. However, if the same stiffener is created
between two panels + flanges, that represents T-bar profiles, result is different. In
that case, material symbol is not correctly displayed.
Solution: Corrected so the flange reference will also be recognised when the
material symbol is set.
150582 366163 Title: An error occurs when defining a boundary using Profile Crosssection
Symptoms: Using the option "Profile Crossection" in the Statement Wizard will
fail and give the system responce: Error Message: Can not interpret scheme
string with profile references!)
Previous/Known workaround: Manually change in the schema.
Solution: Corrected so the crossection boundary will be used.
150852 366796 Title: Chamfer symbol is not correct only on section view from aft.
Symptoms: In some cases, the chamfer symbol is not displayed correctly in the
symbolic view.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaound exists.
Solution: Corrected so the chamfer symbol is correctly displayed in all views.
151193 367818 Title: In symbolic view draw line for chamfer defined on the other side of the
panel
Symptoms: Until know a short-dashed normal line has been drawn along the
plate edge for bevel with chamfer defined for the side of the plate the user is
looking at. If the chamfer is on the far side no line is drawn.
Solution: A new default value CHAMFER_OTHER_SIDE has been added. If set,
a dashed and double dotted normal line is drawn along the plate edge if a
chamfer is defined for the bevel on the other side.

73391, 156975, Title: Corrections for Hullmarks
93954, 200709, Symptoms: When Hullmarks, produced as plates/welds, are checked, the shape is
138957 325207 not correct.
Solution: Corrected so the resulting shape will be ok.
Number Number
86101 183801 Title: Error of ppapanparts - excess in the inner seam(REX=1)
Symptoms: Adding excess to an inner seam as in the below example (red text) will
fail when trying to create he part via ppanparts.
Previous/Known workaround: Skip the excess in such case.

Solution: The problem relates to that the seam with excess is intersecting an "inner
corner" of the outer contour. The process to apply excess on inner seams can handle
this situation since the intersection between the seam and the outer contour is not
really useful when creating the plate.
The effect of the error is that no part is created and a crash can happen.
We can not add excess to this limit using the current method.
Instead the error is a plate is created without the excess.
The log file will get the following printout:
"Plate excess on <plate name> is not handled. Reverted back to zero."
105483 226552 Title: Hull Curve does not reflected to Jig of SB Cpanel.
Symptoms: Starboard hull curve is not added to the Jig drawing.
Solution: Starboard hull curves are now also included in the Jig drawing.
105632 226841 Title: The shape of HullCurve is strange with Jig Pillars.
Symptoms: A knuckled curve is not presented correctly in the Jig pillar receipt
drawing.
Solution: A method has been added to detect knuckles in curves and see to that the
curve is divided in that point to get good result.
Number Number
128994 295919 Title: Ppanparts error occur if excess is applied to only one limit on two consecutive
panel limits.
Symptoms: The plate is not created in this case:
Previous/Known workaround: If excess can be omitted, then exclude the excess

Symptoms: When swage is used then marking on abutting plates are not following
the mould line. It is sometimes moved the plate thickness.
Previous/Known workaround: Set GMS in the planar panel PAN statement to force
the system to use a specific markingside.
Solution:
When markingside is decided in this priority order.
1. If GMS is given in the panel statement of the planar panel, then this will be priority.
2. If any swage is found in the panel, then markingside will be set to the opposite of
the first found swage.
If no markingside is set, then continue with:

3. Check if SBH_MARKING_SIDE is defined in the d065 file
4. Check if SBH_GSD_MARKING_SIDE is defined in the d065 file
If (3) or (4) then the system counts number of stiffeners and brackets on each side of
the panel.
If still no markingside has been set:

5. Mould side of the first plate in the panel
6. If mould side does not coincide with plate edge, then for all stiffeners on panel (with
same lowest assembly structure)
Finally, if still no markingside is set, the markingside will be on the positive w side of
the plate.
A new keyword has been added to ppanpanparts.ip.
IGNORE_SWAGE_MARKINGSIDE
If this is given in ppanparts.ip, then swage will not be taken in consideration when the
system determits the marking side of the plate parts. I.e. step no 2 above will be
ignored.

Also defined the variable SBH_HOLEMARK_PART as 50, to increase accuracy of
resulting parts as described in user guide.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround
Solution: Arc tolerance is changed for hull marks to get better representation in
views
The marking of hull marks is changed. In case hull marking is plate, then a
projection is made, not development of individual curves within the hull mark.
The generation of the hull mark needs to be redone. New data is added to handle
the process.
Furthermore, in case hull mark name is given as <block>-<name>, the” block” is
picked up from the name and used when creating part names.
Part names are also given a position number automatically, based on the plate
numbering.
Marking on plate now has a correct identification as hull mark and can be
highlighted with colour (and later on with labelling).
The ppanpart process is modified to give correct labels and names. Furthermore,
not necessary messages are removed from the log file.
Interactive ppanparts (right-click in hull modelling) is now working as expected.
Previously it made changes to the hull mark object, preventing it from e.g. being
presented in canvas.

121474, 271182, Title: Marking of free text in Hull Modelling
69305, 138100, Symptoms: Various problems with Free Text Marking when presentign on
75063 154185 different sides of the panel.
Solution: The definition data for marking of free texts in panels consists of a
point and an angle (u,v,t) which defines the base line of the text.
Texts are then displayed in views and on plate parts. A problem occurs when a
text shall be presented on the “other side” (e.g. when looking direction is changed
on a view). We cannot present texts mirrored and this wouldn’t be a meaningful
presentation to the user either. Instead, the text needs to be presented in a
readable way.
Normal behaviour is to have the text (or actually the text box) to the left of the
base line vector (of text). However, since transversal structures are normally
worked at in views looking forward, the viewing direction and the normal of the
panel are in opposite directions. The uv coordinate system is "turned". The
function to add marking texts is considering this and presents texts as indicated in
the view, but from a design language perspective (the scheme) it generates texts
on the right side of the base line vector and also possibly using another point
within the text box as starting point for the text.
307189 Title: Check for bevel overlap in WELD stmt
Symptoms: Check for overlap bevel definition when creating weld statement
Solution: When a WELD statement is created/run, it is checked so threre are no

Symptoms: Difference in profile location appear between hull symbolic view and
3D view.
Solution: For profile types 60 and 70 modelled as stiffeners there are no
specified
defintion or location point in contrast to pillars. So what is correct in
this case is unclear. Normally those types are made as pillars. The change
made takes into consideration of making least harm to existing customers.
For them the symbolic view is most important and is not changed.

Symptoms: After reverting a knuckled panel into ordinary panel, a refering panel
may crash if only the weld statemetn is executed.
Previous/Known workaround: AS the references are changed, the boundary of
the abutting panel must be changed. As a consequense, also the weld statement
may have to be changed. After the panel has been updated, it will run without
failure.
Solution: If not the workaround is used, an error, 6047 - Panel missing, will be
given.

wrong
Symptoms: If SHRINK_HOLES are not included in ppanparts.ip, the holes are
moved in the plate in case of shrinkage is applied.
Solution: When the hole is not to consider any shrinkage, the reference position
was previously as the starting position of the geometry but is now changed to be
the center of hole area which means the hole will keep the position and not be
moved. This is if the ip SHRINK_HOLES is missing in the ppanparts.ip file.

Number Number
110236, 239304, Title: Curve name length problem with surface manager.
129544 293627 Symptoms: Surface Manager combines simply the surface name and curve
Name to a single name. Even the resulting Name has more than 24digits then
AM simply store it on Dabacon. The curved hull user is then not able to use that
curve. The system will give a message that the curve does not exists.
Previous/Known workaround: Make sure the surface names in Surface
Manager are short so the combined name is maximum 24 characters.
Solution: The prefix containing the surface name is skipped to avoid too long
names. It is up to the user to keep track of the curve names so there is no clash
with other already existing curves.
The same applies for Surface & Compartment.

102040 218924 Title: Free placing of diameter and radius dimension texts
Symptoms: A diameter or radius dimension text can only be moved perpendicual
to the dimension line (the text is always aligned with the dimension line).
Solution: Diameter and radius dimension text can now be moved also parallell to
reference line in the interactive function Modify Dimensioning/Move Dimension
Text. This means that the text can be moved "freely". However, for dimensionings
of type Straight, Knuckled and Cross with text outside, the offset cannot be
negative (while it can for type Cross with text inside).
During positioning of the text, the user is guided by dynamic highlighting.

Number Number
289070 Title: Dynamic highlighting when creating/updating dimensionings
Symptoms:
When creating or updating dimensionings interactively there is a need for
dynamic highlighting of the result.
E.g. when creating a linear dimensioning, the resulting dimensioning should be
highlighted during each user supplied measure point. This will make it clear for
the user what the result will be.
Solution:
Dynamic highlighting has been implemented
-When supplying each measure point in Linear 2d/3d Dimensioning creation

-When locating the dimension line in Linear 2d/3d/Axis Parallel Dimensioning
creation
-When locating the leader line in Radius/Diameter Dimensioning creation
-When moving radius/diameter text in Modify/Dimension/Move Dimension Text
function
-When moving the dimension line in Modify/Dimension/Move Dimension Line
function
-When changing witness line direction in Modify/Dimension/Slant Witness Line
function
Also, some other improvements:

-Snapping to cardinal axis during "Modify/Dimension/Slant Witness Line" now
also in 3D.
-When checking placement for “text outside” in Linear 2d/3d Dimensioning
creation, no need for user to indicate side explicit (during location of dimension
line, the hair-cross position gives the wanted side)
-When creating Axis Parallel dimensioning, side for text is now derived when
locating the dimension line.
-When defining 2D points. the resulting point (not the cursor position) is used for
subsequent dynamic highlighting.

HULL object ER2-BHD-FR35-1 causes SB-error 6139"
Previous/Known workaround: This happens when not all parameters are given.
The defualt handling of non given paramters are not fully working for those types.
In the documentation the b measure is marked as an optional parameter for

endcut types 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 199, 200 and 201.
This is currently not true; you need to define a valid b-measure (cf. endcut
sketches) to avoid SB-error 6139.
Solution: The interpretation of the end cut parameters for endcut types 191, 192,
193, 194, 195, 196, 199, 200 and 201 have been corrected so that default values
are recognised.

without error or crash.
Number Number
113038 246632 Title: XML export of hullcurve by general cylinder
Symptoms: It is not possible to export hullcurve defined by general cylinder to
XML file. After using: "Curved Hull - Batch -Output XML", indicating a curve and
selecting file name - the following error occurs:
XML Out: Error while processing object "CURCYL12": The object 'CURCYL12'
does not exist!
XML Out: Error Code 43001!
Solution: The problem has been solved so that hullcurves by general cylinder
are exported in XML also in this project.
114636 251584 Title: Splitting Shell Stiffener gives strange ends and additional strange profiles
Symptoms: Having a shell profile on the material side of shell plates, crossing
two plates with different plate thicknesses may give a strange profile end shape
when the shell profile is split by the seam.
Solution: The problem has been solved so that the splitting of shell stiffeners is
done correctly without strange ends.
114825 252288 Title: Shell stiffener trace does not consider shell plate thickness
Symptoms: The variable SBH_ENABLE_SOLID_PLATES is defined and set to
TRUE but there is no effect on the shell plates.
Previous/Known workaround: Set the value to YES.
Solution: Modification so the variable can have any value. It just needs to be
defined.
115107 253264 Title: ShellX - Dropped PosNo not aligned with Cstiff trace
Symptoms: When annotating a ShellX view it is possible to use Annotate -> Hull
Note -> PosNO, to select a single Cstiff and then to drop a PosNo for a Cstiff
simply aside the trace of the Cstiff, instead to create a reference. The direction of
PosNo shall be aligned with the Cstiff trace automatically then. Unfortunately the
system uses the trace's tangent for the END2 of the Cstiff in ShellX view instead
the tangent for the point where the Cstiff was selected before the PosNo has
been dropped. This is causing inconveniences especially i.w.o. the forward and
aft shoulder of the ships surface.
Solution: The problem has been solved so that the PosNo's are aligned
with the shell stiffeners trace.
115833 255217 Title: No write access to HCMWLD can spoil curved panel.
Symptoms: A user PHULL does not have write access to database containing
HCMWLD. This user runs the function (in Curved Hull or Structural Design)
Curved - Model - Recreate. Then - all shell plates are removed from a curved
panel. If this user stores the panel and uses SAVEWORK - the curved panel is
destroyed. For a test case in MAR project - please refer to the attached
document.
Solution: The system will now abort both recreate and modify scenarios where
parts are involved if any panel parts are locked/not accessible. This could stop a
possible acceptable operation, but it is the prudent thing to do.
115995 255683 Title: cplates are drawn in 2 colours. Cyan confuse all users.
Symptoms: A shell plate that belongs to a curved panel is still drawn in cyan
colour. It should be green.
Solution: SB specific plates that belongs to a cyrved panel gets wrong
colour.THis is now corrected so they are also drawn as green.
Number Number
116256 256178 Title: cplates with holes via curves as outer contour not OK for production.
Symptoms: Holes when presented in Curved Panels are not correctly presented.

the hole.
Solution: Holes in the Curved Panel will be cutout from the panel.
The full hole contours will however been shown if the plate is presented.

Number Number
245945 Title: Plate of the portside panel is named with suffix -SP- after block division
when the new panel generated is valid only for portside.
Symptoms: Plates of the portside panels are named as -SP- when they are
generated as a result of block division, using a cutter which is running at positive
location. The cutter is dividing the panel in two parts, one as OverCL and another
one as portside panels.
Solution: Plate name suffix are now syncronized with the panel location.

Symptoms: The weight of a double bulb is not correct (profile type 40 and
SBH_DOUBLE_BULB defined). It is calculated as an ordinary T-bar.
Solution: Corrected so that double-bulb geometry is considered when weight is
calculated.
117664 260519 Title: The notch position in the profile sketch of the shell stiffener (Over In CL) is
wrong.
Symptoms: Making a notch for a relfected shell seam on a shell profile that is
defined over center line will show the notch wrongly on the profile sketch as it
was not for the reflected seam.
Solution: Curved panel parts generation corrected so that reflection of notches
on stiffener in/over CL is considered.

Number Number
110679 240786 Title: Bevel change at limit, gap are not set when nesting from parts menue
Symptoms: In 12.1.SP4 Fix 41 it was introduced to add gaps where there are
bevel changes on the same limit. This is working properly when nesting such part
via "By Name". However, no gaps are set when nesting the same part via the part
menue.
Previous/Known workaround: Use "By name" when nesting parts.
Solution: Corrected so also the gaps are handled when nesting via the parts
menu.
115994 255970 Title: System error 2519
Symptoms: When deleting a start defined for a label, System error 2519 is given
and the start cannot be removed.

error 2519.
118314 263402 Title: Nest_Text Error
Symptoms: Bevel is setup with wide chamfer. Using a bevel type 30 with variant
1 gives wrong value for the chamfer.
Solution: The calculation of chamfer is corrected for wide chamfer for this type
and variant.

Number Number
47868 Title: Tribon M3 line types not implemented in PDMS
Symptoms:
All Tribon M3 line types that was not directly mapped to an existing PDMS line
type have not yet been implemented in PDMS.
This is apparent when we start to persist contours into PADD in 12.1.
Solution: Tribon "special" line types, like "Track" have so far been changed to
PDMS "Solid Wide" during persisting. The solution is to persist the Tribon
"special" line types intact. Note that Tribon "special" line types will not be handled
by PDMS Outfitting Draft (here they still will be displayed as "Solid Wide").
Also included in this solution is that the functions Modify/Linetype, Modify/Colour
and Modify/Layer will now persist the result.
Number Number
109598 237657 Title: Problem to change the line type after stretch the geometry
Symptoms: the line type of geometries is changed after stretch the geometry
(Modify - Stretch)
Solution: Tribon "special" line types, like "Track" have so far been changed to
PDMS "Solid Wide" during persisting. The solution is to persist the Tribon
"special" line types intact. Note that Tribon "special" line types will not be handled
by PDMS Outfitting Draft (here they still will be displayed as "Solid Wide").
Also included in this solution is that the functions Modify/Linetype, Modify/Colour
and Modify/Layer will now persist the result.
116146 255912 Title: Drafting default of drawing revision option "KEEP_SESSION_FILES : No"
does not apply on UNC path with containing $ character
Symptoms: UNC path with containing $ character is not handled.
Solution: Changes were made to include '$' as a valid character in file path.
117366 259725 Title: Fuction "File Open" & "List"
Symptoms: Currently when press Open Drawing the drawing type is fixed as
"General Drawing". After changing the type and re-entering the function it is back
to "General Drawing".
Previous/Known workaround: Manually change to the desired drawing type.
Solution: Initial drawing type will be the last used drawing type also when
drawing type is “All Drawings”.
Because of this, the drawing list will remain until next invocations of File Open
dialog.
Note:
- The system start-up initial Drawing Type will still be “General Drawings”.
- When changing drawing type, the drawing list will still be scratched (except
when drawing type is changed tp "All Drawings").

118762 264319 Symptoms: If user indicates a model after selecting Option at the model
262973 information function, application aborts.
Previous/Known workaround: No known work around exists.
Solution: When identifying by "event point{" is is assumed that user wants
specifically to identify a hole (in panel) or at least a hull model. Using "event
point{" to identify an outfitting model is not recommended and will only result in a
"Model information not available" message (instead of a crash).

113759 248672 Title: The showing Insert Model GUI is too annoying after 12.1.SP4.37.
Symptoms: The progress bar is shown also when the amount of objects are
small which is annoying
Solution: The Progress Bar was introduced in Fix 37 as a UI improvement,
informing the user about the progress when updating design (updating big views
takes a long time, something that user might experience as program is
hanging). The problem for customer now is that the Progress Bar is
"unnecessarily" displayed also for small ammount of model information drawn,
resulting in an annoying "flickering" (the progress bar is visible only for a short
period of time).
The solution is to disable Progress Bar when model content is small/moderate.

106500 228900 Title: SBH_SHSTI_DEF_CON does not apply when splitting the shell profile by
plane panel.
Symptoms: SBH_SHSTI_DEF_CON does not apply when splitting the shell profile
by Plane Panel or RSO or Shell Profile.
Previous/Known workaround: Connection codes can be modified in Shell
Stiffener form.
Solution: The original implementation of the default handling was intentional. Not
all connection types are valid for all types of connections.
However, it is now implemented so SBH_SHSTI_DEF_CON is used for all five
connections valid in Split Shell Stiffener.
There might then be error signaled from the system that the wrong connection
type is used. This can be avoided by setting the environment variable
SBH_CONNCODE_NOCHECK to any value. This will then override the check
and the shell stiffeners will be updated. User may have to modify the stiffener
connection manually afterwords.

from Spec" for Socket weld and "From Spec" for Welds for Slip-on Flanges.
Please note that "Create Socket Welds from Spec" and "From Spec" on the
"Welds for Slip-On Flanges" will works only "SPEC" on the "Weld Handling" form
is selected. And, the weld spec for socket weld from current pipe spec. That is, it
is not allows that we cannot use alternative spec for weld. This is limitation.
Because, "Choose All" command is used for creating weld at the moment.

highlighting the selected spool limits.
94120 201065 Title: Excess were not correct if the flange was loose and has welds
Symptoms: If a pipe has loose flanges and welds then excess were not correct
Solution: We have updated the functionality when setting end excess also so
that if you set the end excess on some tube that has welds either side that the
component the weld is for is checked to see if it is loose. If so the excess will be
applied to the component rather than the weld. If the component is not loose then
the excess is applied to the weld.
94698 202383 Title: Fabrication Check - Incorrect Bend Program with Loose Excess
Symptoms: A problem occurs with the Length Inside/Length Outside/Bending
Act values when the spool has a Loose component and requires a 50mm excess.
Solution: ArriveExcess is already added to the ArriveTubeLength in
InitializeCheckResult of PFFabricationMachineManager
LeaveExcess is already added to the LeaveTubeLength in InitializeCheckResult
of PFFabricationMachineManager. Hence while calculating the Machine Outside
Length in the CheckInsertionLength in PFFabricationMachineManager, the
ArriveExcess/LeaveExcess are excluded. Also while calculating the
bendingActivities, the feed is calculated by excluding ArriveExcess/LeaveExcess.
Bending Arrive Excess and Bending Leave Excess are considered when
calculating the Machine Outside Length in the CheckInsertionLength in
PFFabricationMachineManager. Bending Arrive Excess and Bending Leave
Excess are also considered when lculating BendingActivities in
GetBendingActivities of PFBendingMachine.

calculating the FTUB weight of a pipe end
Symptoms: Some customers use expressions to calculate the UWEI attribute
when calculating the FTUB weight for a pipe end. As a result this would fail and
the incorrect weight would be supplied.
Previous/Known workaround: Use actual values rather than expressions
Solution: We now parse the expressions correctly and they can now be used in
the calculation process. Additionally, other changes are required to update the
piping specs, property database and the FTUB dataset in order for these weights
of a pipe end to be calculated correctly. These macros should have been
released along with the fix and instructions for running them should have been
included.
97297 208772 Title: Modifying welds does not report incorrect stype

Symptoms: When the Skey is set to WNFL (which is required), the symbol
doesn't appear as dotted and appears in the material list in the flanges section
with wrong descriptions some times gasket and other times elbow!!.
Solution: A Flange is added to the top of the Flangolet because of the end
condition of ‘FL’ – rightly so. However this Flange is not inheriting the dotted and
suppressed MTO attributes from the Flangolet and was attempting to be placed in
the MTO. Solution: Save the details from the Olet for use later.

97072 208496 Title: Piping - Unable to determine the bending radius for a BEND being added
after a PTAP
Symptoms: The component creation form could not find the correct radius if a
user was currently at a pipe tapping.
Previous/Known workaround: Set the radius manually
Solution: This was due to a problem with the wall thickness query in the client
project. Wall thickness at a PTAP is a problem because it comes fro a different
spec so the solution is to use the tube wall thickness instead as this is likely what
the PTAP is inserted into.
97177 208558 Title: Draft - Text in a SYMB on a BACKing sheet is not exported
Symptoms: No text appears
Solution: The export now works if the SYMB is on a BACKING sheet.

Symptoms: The NOENDCUTSYMB parameter do not work if STRUCTURAL
DESIGN or CURVED HULL is used.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually change teh variable after system
startup.
Solution: Default for Hull Structural Design for the parameter NOENDCUTSYMB
will be that no endcut symbols are shown in symbolic views. For Detail Design,
the default is that endcut symbols are shown.
94579 202103 Title: The path length of SBH_CONCODES
Symptoms: THe pathlength for the file assosiated with SBH_CONCODES can
only be 80 characters long.

cutters.
Symptoms: When divided panel, Additional endcut types is changed on the type
of cutters.
-Principal plane has endcut type(xx00)
-RSO has endcut type(xx20)
Previous/Known workaround: Manually change endcut after the panel is
divided.
Solution: Cutters by principal plane and and by RSO are now treated the same
with respect to connection and endcut codes.
95563 204147 Title: AM 12.1.SP4.32 - Frame Grid limited to 500 frames only.
Symptoms: For some projects, 500 frame limit is not enough.
Solution: Limit of frames has been extended to -99:800.
Once frame numbers has been added above 500, previous versions of the
system should not be used since those versions do not recognize higher
numbers.
Also rules for SB specific profiles are changed.
SB specific transversals get an additional number of 10 000 (previous 5 000).
SB specifi longitudinals in main surface gets additional 12 000 (previous 2 000).
SB specifi longitudinals in deck surface gets additional 13 000 (previous 3 000).
Note that the rules only affects Split Profile and numbering in symbolic views.
Free named profiles are not affected by the rules.
Surface Manager:

Number Number
95255 203556 Title: Surface Manager splits curves
Symptoms: Import IGES Curve from File into Surface Manager divides the
Curve into several Contours.
The curves are usually Chained in the Source Application Rhino.
Solution: The import option "Split curves into continuous segments" is true by
default. Set it to false in the iges import then one logical curve in the file will be
returned as one complete curve.

Number Number
80358 171212 Title: Underline is applied to all of the text in the View Replace.
Symptoms: When you run the View replace with Underline with Text placed in a
View, Underline is being applied to all text in the view.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually change fault text.
Solution: A new value to the default keyword VEW_TEXT_PROPERTY has
been added. If set to VIEW, the text properties used when the view was first
created, will be kept in the view when it is re-created.
Please note: The keyword VIEW for default VIEW_TEXT_PROPERTIES behaves

the same as the keyword FULL on views created before this release.
88214 188780 Title: 'GLAB' 'SLAB' go back to original location.
Symptoms: After scale modified, the text of 'GLAB' 'SLAB' go back to original
location in the 12.1 Marine Drafting.
Solution: The issue regarding SLAB not being scaled properly when modifying
the drawing scale has been fixed.

needed.
Pipe Fabrication:

Number Number
57563 97194 Title: Cut Pipe Lengths on Fabrication Iso containing Mitred Bends is now correct
Symptoms: Cut Pipe Length on Fabrication Iso containing Mitred Bend was not
correct.
Solution: Cut pipe lengths and centre-line lengths on Fabrication Isometrics
containing Mitre Bends are now correct. Bend segments appear in the cut pipe
list on the Isometrics with their correct cut lengths and a comment 'MTB
SEGMENT'.
60787 107910 Title: The Modify Welds form has limited functionality and incorrect results.
Symptoms:
Solution: ModifyWelds form has been updated to show shop, field, site options
and also to choose the spec based on the option selected.
63530 116359 Title: PF - Modify Spool Form Functions Not Interrupted
Symptoms: NA
Solution: Introduced two methods to check for active forms and active
functionalities which throws an interruption message when user tries to interrupt a
active functionality.
72233 147089 Title: The Highlighting option from the Weld Handling form does not work
completely.
Symptoms:
Solution: In case of slip-on flange, both the Tube and Flange are being
highlighted based on Fix.
75857 157504 Title: While running the Weld Handling for Creating Weld at various location if the
Pipe Consist of different Spec Component the Weld is Created with the Spec of
Pipe and not Component which results out as Spec Break at every interval
Symptoms:
Previous/
Solution: Based on the status of of CheckBox labelled 'If component is Out of
Spec, use the same source' in Weld Gap Config form, the spec has been taken
from the Component to assign weld.
75919 158234 Title: Weld Creation without Pipe Cutlength Split
Symptoms: Pipe is split into spools and pipe pieces by an off-line weld.
Previous/Known workaround: Not known
Solution: With this fix the pipe is no longer split into pipe pieces by an off-line
weld.
Number Number
86502 184584 Title: Pipe Spool Drawing Form - Preview is Poor
Symptoms:
Solution: This fix should make the preview a little more reliable and replace the
old plot file format. By using a PDF viewer all of the print and print preview
options are now available and remove the need for the old PDMS plot viewer.
The old preview showed PDMS plot files (.plt) which didn't support truetype fonts
so the preview files were incomplete resulting in this defect. This fix addresses
the plot file problem in PDMS by producing PDF files and replacing the plot file
viewer with the standard PDF viewer.
In Marine, the output is the same as it was, because Marine Drafting produces
TIFF files rather than PDF. Tiff files are viewed using Windows Photo Viewer.
In both Marine and Plant products the plot files are now placed in a directory
named by the spool drawing creation form and the old PDMSUSER/Preview
directory no longer exists.
Note1: To view PDF files, a suitable PDF viewer must be installed if it is not
already present and this must be able to open PDF files by double clicking on it.
Note2: A problem with PDF viewers is that the user cannot overwrite a PDF file
which is already open so the preview mechanism makes a copy of the main plot
file and puts it into a preview directory in the PDMSWK area. The situation of
having multiple copies of the same file open still exists so the user may notice a
version number in the file name of the PDF viewer.
This should only exist if multiple previews of the same file are open at once.
Note3: This version replaces the right click menu for Preview Drawing with a tick
box on the form itself. this makes Preview easier to switch on and off.
86515 184620 Title: Wrong LSTU is being used for welds created
Symptoms: The wrong LSTU was being selected for welds
Previous/Known workaround: Set the LSTU manually
Solution: We now check the LSTU of the component the weld is for and use that
LSTU for the weld.
86519 184645 Title: LSTU is unset for certain welds
Symptoms: LSTU was not being set for some welds during weld creation
Previous/Known workaround: Set the LSTU manually.
Solution: We now select the LSTU based on the component that the weld was
created for.
87265 188374 Title: Weld Gaps on Branch tees
Symptoms: NA
Solution: Added a condition for tee when the arrive and leave positions of tube
are in reverse order, so that weld will be created.
89762 192248 Title: Cannot Create a Spool Limit Using a Weld at P3 of Tee.
Symptoms:
Solution: This issue is fixed by providing restriction for picking tube, Now we can
only pick components for adding or removing spool limit.
90643 194373 Title: ATTAs - SPKBRK True Creates Too Many Pipe Pieces
Symptoms: Setting SPKBRK true on an atta created too many pipe pieces
Solution: Check to see if the SPKBRK attribute is changed on an ATTA and if so
we do not create additional pipe pieces.
Number Number
91234 196097 Title: Weld handling uses specific 'STYP' values rather than reading them from
the backstage
Symptoms: Weld handling was set up to only use 'hardcoded' values for the
STYPs rather than reading them from the defaults set up in Pipe Fabrication
Solution: We now check the STYP each of the weld types from the backstage
and attempt to select a weld based on that STYP rather than the 'hardcoded'
value.
91992 197633 Title: Pipe Fabrication, When adding user feed, status for a validated pipe is not
reset
Symptoms: None
Solution: Invalidating pipe pieces of that particular pipe when feed excess
changes between two components (Especially Bends).
92490 198389 Title: Welds are not created for TESO elements that have LOFF set to TRUE
Symptoms: Welds are not create for TESO elements that have LOFF set to
TRUE
Previous/Known workaround: Create welds manually
Solution: We were preventing this for some reason in the code. We have now
removed the code for this case so that welds are created normally.
92494 198400 Title: Piping - Cannot Create NSBC On Pipe with Welds
Symptoms: None standard branch connections failed on branches with
components with unset lstu.
Previous/Known workaround: set the lstu and try again
Solution: Now the weld handling select lstu every time and the pipe intersection
object handles no lstu correctly.
93751 200324 Title: Pipe Fabrication, Mutiple Spools - wrong feedback to user when "Create..."
Symptoms: The highlight os the spool limits is incorrect, spool limits are not
considered
Solution: The highlighting of the spool limits selected while adding to the spool
drawing needs to be fixed by considering the attributes say AsfBreak, LsfBreak
along with CsfBreak.
Code change has been made to the pfevaluatespoolmember.pmlobj in
highlighting the selected spool limits.
93752 200331 Title: Pipe fabrication, adding spool limits (no weld) - ghost limit may be
displayed
Symptoms: when user adds spool limit a ghost spool limit is being displayed at
the other end of the tubi. Please check the attached video for the better
understanding of the scenarion.
Solution: Code has been corrected in the method "ShowSpoollimits" of
pfModifySpool.pmlfrm to avoid adding the spool limit at the incorrect place
(appearing of the "ghost spool limit").
93968 200746 Title: Modify Spool Form - Aid Behaviour
Symptoms: NA
Solution: removed the lines of code that unenhances and clear aids of previous
functionalities when set machine Insertion Direction is selected.
Number Number
94077 200961 Title: Errors whilst opening Weld Handling form as welds were not able to be
renamed
Symptoms: Welds that are created are named according to the weld number
that they are assigned (unless the autonaming rule states otherwise). In some
cases customers were then changing the number of these welds manually
leading to conflicts in assigning new names andweld numbers.
Solution: We now no longer attempt to rename/renumber welds that have
already been assigned a name/number. This is to prevent duplicate names/weld
numbers being used.
94315 201438 Title: Unable to determine which Galvanization Tank was used to check certain
elements
Symptoms: Using the Galvanization tank check form, a user is unable to tell
which tank was used to check the element.
Solution: We have created a new attribute that stores what tank was used to
check the element. This is then shown on the form so the user is aware which
tank was used to check the element.
94398 201753 Title: No warning displayed to a user if they attempt to assign an excess to an
element that already has an excess
Symptoms: A user can easily override any excess that are currently set on a
component.
Solution: We have added a warning so that when the user attempts to change
the excess on a component using the appware that if one already exists they will
override the current setting.
94497 201974 Title: The Search Within option on the Multiple Spool form are not working
correctly
Symptoms: While picking elements for adding to spool, elements from different
multiple pipes are allowed for picking eventhough the "Search Within" option is
set to "pipe".
Solution:
1. In the "Multiple Spool" form The "Search Within" option box is grayed out as
soon as the user selects spool functions "Add to Spool Drawing by Pick" and
"Remove from Spool Drawing by Pick". The same "Search Within" will be become
active after the Addition or removing of spool functions are completed.
2. The Piperefs, branRefs,etc are nullified after the merging of selected elements
to Spools, hence they can be freshly initialised for every new Spool function.
3. pfsplitmergespools.pmlfrm and pfspooler.pmlobj are modified.
94640 202243 Title: Some fitting to fitting welds will not be created using the 'by pick option'
Symptoms: When using the 'create welds by pick' option, some fitting to fitting
welds would not be created.
Previous/Known workaround: Create welds manually
Solution: These cases were never taken into account when using the 'create
welds by pick' option. As a result we have had to add these cases to 'create
welds by pick' functionality.
94693 202372 Title: Finished Lengths were being calculated incorrectly (1mm out per bend)
Symptoms: The bend length of bends are being calculated incorrectly. This
leads to the finished lengths being off by 1mm per bend in the pipe that is being
checked.
Solution: We now use the FitLen attribute to determine the length of a bend.
Number Number
94698 202383 Title: Fabrication Check - Incorrect Bend Program with Loose Excess
Symptoms: A problem occurs with the Length Inside/Length Outside/Bending
Act values when the spool has a Loose component and requires a 50mm excess.
Solution: ArriveExcess is already added to the ArriveTubeLength in
InitializeCheckResult of PFFabricationMachineManager
LeaveExcess is already added to the LeaveTubeLength in InitializeCheckResult
of PFFabricationMachineManager
Hence while calculating the Machine Outside Length in the CheckInsertionLength
in PFFabricationMachineManager, the ArriveExcess/LeaveExcess are excluded.
Also while calculating the bendingActivities, the feed is calculated by excluding
ArriveExcess/LeaveExcess.
95174 203333 Title: We don't handle expressions being used for the UWEI attribute when
included.

66778 157508 is now correct
Symptoms: Cut Pipe Length on Fabrication Iso containing Mitred Bend was not
correct.
Solution: Cut pipe lengths and centre-line lengths on Fabrication Isometrics
containing Mitre Bends are now correct. Bend segments appear in the cut pipe
list on the Isometrics with their correct cut lengths and a comment 'MTB
SEGMENT'.
77851 162680 Title: Isodraft – PTAPs numbered for a Spool Drawing even though they are not
shown in material list.

89751 192223 Title: Changes required for the wording of the Fabricated Pipe Ends form.
Symptoms:
Solution: Modified the file
PMLLIB\pipefabricationmanager\design\forms\pfFabricationPipeEnd.pml.frm
To provide following corrections.
1. The actual value of the sniped angle is displayed in the Drawing note text in
the place of '{deg} ' in the following default text "Trim pipe end to {deg}".
2. The word 'slanted' replaced by 'sniped' as it is better engineering terminology.
This appears in two places on the form.

Symptoms: If any branch of the pipe contains element like PLAT which does not
have lExcess and aExcess attributes, unhandled error pops up and the "Modify
Spool" form will not be loaded.
Previous/Known workaround: Handling the error through an exception handler.
Solution: In the function showEndExcesses of pfModifySpool.pmlfrm lExcess
and aExcess attributes of the elements are being accessed to fix the
arriveboundar and leaveboundary values. Error occurs if the element does not
have the lExcess and aExcess attributes. Error handled by adding an Exception
in the function
.showEndExcesses of pfModifySpool.pmlfrm
where the attributes lExcess and aExcess are being referred.
91436 196542 Title: Doubled informal message when changing spool type within Fabrication

Known workaround: Suggested work around is to define the attributes with list
of values as optional parameters, navigate to the next screen on the Create
Element Information window - select the type and then return to the first screen
to select the value from the list of values drop down list.
Solution: In Tags - when a view is based on multiple types the list of valid values
for an attribute (defined as parameter) can now be displayed in the drop down list
in on the first screen of the Create Information Window. (The user no longer has
to select the (UDET) type on the second screen and then return to the first to see
that the list of valid values for the optional parameter has been populated).

Marine Drafting:

Number Number
36531 63392 Title: Default Attribute IgnDUnion:True
Symptoms: Request to set IgnDUnion as True by defaults.
Solution: New Marine Drafting default keyword "VIEW_IGNORE_DUNION" was
introduced.
It controls the value set to the attribute IGNDUNIO when a view is created.
If VIEW_IGNORE_DUNION is set to “NO” than the IGNDUNIO attribute is set to
FALSE.
“YES” means that the attribute is set to TRUE.
54860 93586 Title: Problem with special characters
Symptoms: Using $- and @-values to fill up the text in drawing form properties
sometimes gives wrong result when special characters are used (e.g. "Ö").
Solution: Texts containing "special" characters (like "Ö") will be handled correctly
when inserted in form.
72430 147465 Title: Readonly mode does not work at MarAPI
Symptoms: Drawing is claimed when opening as Read Only via API.
Solution: There is a new marapi function called DwgOpenAsCopy:
DwgOpenAsCopy( String DwgName, String CopyDwgName, Real
CopyDwgType)
Input Arguments:
1. DwgName - Name of drawing to copy and open.
3. CopyDwgName - Name of drawing copy.
4. CopyDwgType - Drawing type of the new copy. Can be give as "DwgType".
Note that "-1" has the meaning "same type as the source drawing".
The function only works for drawings stored in the PADD database (therefore
there is no drawing type argument for the source drawing, it is fully identified by
its name)
(DwgOpenAsCopy is only implemented in MARAPI and not in Vitesse).
73049 149341 Title: 3D Event Point Snapping
Symptoms: Request the ability to customize which 3D Event Points the user is
allowed to select with 3D Event snapping to reduce the risk of errors (e.g. molded
vs. non-molded side of thickness).
Solution: A new "picking filter" for hull models is implemented. It can be activated
by setting the new drafting default keyword "HULL_PPOINT_PLINE_PICKING" to
"MouldSideOnly". This will reduce the number of p-points and p-lines in the 3D
point modes "event points".
Number Number
74214 152640 Title: Give explicit target DEPT/REGI in various Marine Drafting functions
Symptoms: Using e.g. Import SDB function in Planar Hull Modelling / Drafting to
Import exported SDB files is working in a way, that the imported SDB will always
be stored by default in general drawing database. There is no way to give explicit
REGI.
Previous/Known workaround: Import drawing and then move it to the correct
REGI by using Save As...
Solution: It is now possible to give explicit REGI in these Marine Drafting
functions:
- New drawing: Interactively + API
- Save As: Interactively + API
- Save Subpicture: Interactively + API
- Copy drawings: Interactive/Batch (already exists) + API
- Copy Assist: New import option: LocationOwner = Automatic / As Source
This option is controlled by a new environment variable, "SBD_OWNING_REGI".
If "AUTO", owner is set automatically as today, if "MANUAL", the user can select
target REGI for the drawings. If a target REGI is not given in this case, then the
drawings are placed automatically.
77687 162144 Title: Default Attribute IgnDUnion:True
Symptoms: Request to set IgnDUnion as True by defaults.
Solution: New Marine Drafting default keyword "VIEW_IGNORE_DUNION" was
introduced.

If VIEW_IGNORE_DUNION is set to “NO” than the IGNDUNIO attribute is set to
FALSE. “YES” means that the attribute is set to TRUE.
78100 163638 Title: Requests on message displaying when referenced model data not existing.
Symptoms: Enhancement request
Solution: In Tools/Model/Exchange, if the Outfitting model is not found in data
base, a message will be reported to user in the same manner as for hull models
i.e. in the Message Window
- In Right MB -> Navigate -> In Design Explorer, if the model (outfitting or hull) is
not found in data base, a confirmed message will be reported to user.

Pipe Fabrication:
57962 98333 Title: Fabrication Check Showing Incorrect Results

Symptoms: If a branch on the spool is too short for the welding machine
incorrect results are shown on the fabrication check. Some results are related to
manual welding, despite the component in question not being manually welded.
A flange nominated as machine welded is not being shown correctly. There is no
excess allowing for some welding processes.
Solution: There were no warning being produced if no valid welding machine
was found, hence why some results were shown as being manually welded,
there is now a warning added if this is the case. The wrong positions on the
arrive.leave components were being used when calculating pipe lengths which
lead to incorrect results, this has now been rectified and the calculations are
done correctly. Added an additional check as part of the fabrication check to see
if a flanges length is valid for a manual/machine weld which was previously not
done leading to incorrect results being displayed.
60576 107309 Title: Weld Handling Deletes Spool Limits
Symptoms: Welds are not being numbered correctly they are either being
renumbered completely, or not retaining their current weld number. Spool limits
are being deleted via the weld handling form when we may not want to delete
them
Solution: If "append weld number" on the form is checked we will append weld
numbers to new welds/spool limits. If "append weld number" on the form is
unchecked we will renumber all of the welds on the element when "create all
welds for ce" is hit. This will preserve any existing spool limits, and renumber
them accordingly. When we delete welds from the weld handling form, the user is
now presented with an option to delete all welds, or to delete all welds excluding
the spool limit welds.
63535 116368 Title: Muliple Spool Text Field Blank
Symptoms:
Solution: Updated the text field with the appropriate value entered by the user.

76821 159858 Title: Fabrication Iso Spool Drawing Error
Symptoms: Elements that were not named were unable to be deleted from the
fabrication isometric form
Known workaround: Name the elements
Solution: Rather than using the "name" attribute to find the element to remove
we use the "FLNM" attribute which will provide the correct name if the element is
unnamed.
78344 164397 Title: 12.1.SP4 - Pipe Fabrication: User feed excess is set by Validate
Symptoms: NA
Solution: Avoided the the user feed attribute being set during fabrication check
process.

85129 182038 Title: Piping - Penetration ATTA should not appear in the pipe sketches
Symptoms: Penetration attas are shown dimensioned on Pipe sketches.
Previous/Known workaround: Manual drawing edits.
Solution: Attas are no longer dimesioned on pipe sketches but their
representation may still be seen.
87111 185976 Title: Pipe sketch dimensions on pipe spools with weld gaps
Symptoms: A pipe sketch with modeled welds shows dimensions to the welds
instead of overall dimensions.
Previous/Known workaround: ManualEditing
Solution: The weld components are no longer dimensioned.
87110 185993 Title: ATTA dimensioning should not appear on pipe sketches
Symptoms: Extra dimensions are seen at ATTA positions and the dimension
continuity is incorrect.
Previous/Known workaround: Manual removal in draft
Solution: These dimensions are no longer drawn.
88187 188737 Title: Plotting Icons Not Appearing On Previews
Symptoms: The Print Setup / Print buttons were invisible on the Pipe Spool
Drawings preview form
Solution: The Print Setup / Print buttons are no longer invisible if the user is
using the outfitting application.
89269 191184 Title: There is an additional SOCKET textbox on the WeldGap Options form that
was added by PD during the fixing of another issue.
Symptoms:
Solution: Additional TextBox has been Removed which is not required in the
pfweldgapconfig.pmlfrm file.
89653 192036 Title: On the Weld Gap Config form there are two checkboxes on the Weld Gap
Options tab that are accessible even if the user does not have write access to the
database.
Symptoms:
Solution: On the Weld Gap Config form, Weld Gap Options tab the following two
checkboxes :-
i) Create Socket Welds from Spec
ii) If component is out of spec, use same source
are greyed out and inactive the same as all the other options on the form, for any
user who does not have write access to database.
90647 194382 Title: WeldGap Config Fails in Imperial
Symptoms: If a user is using imperial units rather than metric the WeldGap
Config form is unable to store any results entered and read them back in.
Previous/Known workaround: Create all of the configs using a Metric format
and then swap over to an Imperial format. The reason we have this problem is
because some of the conversions from Imperial to Metric are slightly out (~0.1-
0.3mm) resulting in errors as the numbers don't match up. If we create the
configs in a metric format however, and then use an Imperial format after they
have been created the metric values will be converted correctly.
Solution: We store the current units and swap the units to mm during the
creation of the WeldGap configs due to the DDSE element of the config having to
be stored in a metric format. Once this element has been created we restore the
previous units and continue with the previous operation.

Symptoms: All distances within a single text or label are given the same units, it
is not possible for example to have one in metres and another in mm
Previous/Known workaround: Split the intelligent text into two labels or text
elements with different units
Solution:The Intelligent Text 'Alternate Units' can now be specified as well as
the principal units, so you can have two sets of units in the same text s or label
(e.g. m and mm).
For example:
On the LAYERr:
UCODE MM DIST METRE ALT DIST
In the intelligent text use #U to switch to alternate units

'#POSX() %U(#POSX())'

Previous/Known workaround: Manually change to the NUM-term.
Solution: Correction made to allow numeric value as COR in boundary
statement.
79668 168979 Title: Unnecessary/unwanted "Activate" prompt for panels
Symptoms: In many funtions, when a planar panel is already active, the system
still requires to indicate a panel.
Solution: Modified to act as Planar Hull > Model > Edit meaning no prompting for
a panel if a panel is already active.
170867 Title: Scheme cannot be updated using ‘Direct’ option
Symptoms: The Update button is disabled when trying to update a schema line
in the Statement wizard.
Previous/Known workaround: The problem is that the statement somewhere
(e.g. in a comment) a lower case letter. By purge vs slicechanging all text to
upper case letters, the button will be enabled.

one, knuckle.
Number Number
86013 186420 Title: Bracket Toe
Symptoms: For bracket syntax 7 type KL is impossible to change toe height at
the end of arm A by giving parameter C. Giving parameter D for toe height at arm
B works fine.
Solution: Modified so that C measure will affect the toe height.
87044 188175 Title: AUTO Bevel to consider GAP for MSI=TOP, BOT
Symptoms: When the GAP rule is in effect, there is no way to get the negative
bevel in case connection angle is negative.
Previous/Known workaround: Define rules for angles instead of GAP.
Solution: Corrected so the system will automatically change the bevel code sign
incase the connection angle is negative.
88325 189631 Title: Adding expression 'MNG' in hole statement by hand
Symptoms: when adding the keyword MNG to a hole that is not a managed hole,
this hole is locked and cannot be removed.
Solution: Correction has been made to prohibit to give MNG for a none managed
hole and to prevent removing it.
89130 190795 Title: New panels cannot be created any more in single view mode
Symptoms: IF Hull Modeling default GEN_VIEW=SINGLE, when a new view is
added, it is not possible to create new panels via Statement Wizard. System
freezes.
Previous/Known workaround: Set GEN_VIEW to ALL.
Solution: Corrected so Statement Wizard will continue as expected when single
view is used.
89172 190900 Title: Old Views have now limits 500000 since fix 26
Symptoms: Symbolic Views created previous to SP4.Fix.26 has limit values
500000.
Previous/Known workaround: Have no practical meaning but can be confusing
and disturbing in-hous programming.
Solution: The value 500000 was previous Fix.26 supressed and is now fixed to
be supressed again.
Curved Hull:

Number Number
78503 164954 Title: Attrib ParRef unset for CSTIFF (on SB) in CPANEL (over CL)
Symptoms: After function Curved Hull > Stiff > into profile DB, only CSTIFF on
PS will have assigned ParRef, but CSTIFF on SB will have ParRef as unset
(CPANEL is over CL).
Solution: Part reference setting for CSTIFF elements are corrected.
82725 176057 Title: Wrong inclination angle of short shell profile.
Symptoms: when adding a Shell Stiffener (from the design Tree, the inclination
angle is not correct.
Previous/Known workaround: Add shell profile via "Input Model" form.
Solution: The problem has been solved so that the shell profile gets the correct
angle also when adding from the Tree view.
87742, 187479, Title: It is impossible to modify the name of seam/butt

Number Number
88689 189720 Title: Curved Panel View show incorrect END2 of all cstiffs
Symptoms: Gap defined at END1 of a stiffener belonging to a Curved Panel is
shown also at END2, even if there is no gap defined. This does not depend on
how the gap is defined, explicitly or by connection code.
Solution: The problem has been solved so that the gap of stiffener end 2 gets
correct also in the curved panel view.
88691 189724 Title: Cstiff split, only CON=40
Symptoms: It is not possible to control the default connection code when splitting
shell profiles.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually modify the connection on each shell
stiffener.
Solution: A new environment variable, SBH_SHSTI_DEF_CON, can be used to
set the default connection code for Shell Stiffeners. This will be used when new
shell stiffeners are created. If not defined, connection code 40 will be used.
88690 190427 Title: Shell expansion views show stiffening always on CL-side of the surface
Symptoms: Profiles created on the outside surface is shown as inside in the
ShellX draing.
Solution: The problem has been solved so that side of the profiles are also
handled in shell expansion views.
89227 191103 Title: Not possible to predefine STRIP CONTROL for shell plates.
Symptoms: Missing possibillity to redefine the default setting of Strip control.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually change for each plate.
Solution: New default keyword, PDV_STRIP_CTRL, is added. Possible values
are: "PrinciplePlane" (default), "Perpendicular" and "Distributed".
89521 191678 Title: Modification of individual cstiffs not correct!
Symptoms: When many shell Stiffeners are activated and modification is per
shell stiffener, the function stops if one of the stiffeners has no changes (ok is
presses without any changes in any fields).
Previous/Known workaround: Activate one stiffener at the time.
Solution: Corrected so the function will continue with the next stiffener in any
case.

Number Number
85361 181931 Title: Dividing panels with errors
Symptoms: Various strange errors are in a model after using Structural Design -
Divide into blocks.
Solution: A number of enhancements are made to the block division process
eliminating all the main problems. The enhancements are also in effect for the
split panel function.
Number Number
87002 185583 Title: FE Modeler- Surface and Planar Panel on the same location
Symptoms: If there is Surface and planar panel at the same location ,system can
not seperate each other and creates double Shell elements on top of each other.
Solution: Note that this is only applicable in the rare case that a planar panel is
located in a surface and defined with LOC='[SURFACENAME]' and a 3D-point
(the latter is used to get the surface normal in/near that point to define the panel
plane).
When a planar panel is defined in the described way and processed by the FE
Modeller all panel components are handled as usual - except the plates - and the
thickness for the surface shell elements is fetched from the panel plates. This will
avoid duplicated elements.
Hull Production:

Number Number
84420 179675 Title: Add Hull Curve to jig drawing.
Symptoms: Not possible to add arbitrary Hull Curve to the Jig sketch.

plate.
Number Number
86728 185118 Title: Hull profile nesting problem
Symptoms: Nesting of profiles (I-bars) is not placed on the same raw profile.
Solution: Profile nesting corrected for I-bars so the full length of the raw material
is used.
88258 189046 Title: AUTO_POSNO_POSITION is not working
Symptoms: The system is not consider any value of AUTO_POSNO_POSITION.
Solution: Corrected so AUTO_POSNO_POSITION is handling the parameters
and the position number is placed accordingly.
88462 189685 Title: PLCM Crash
Symptoms: PLCM application crashes, when you press Cancel button in New
nesting (NestJob New) dialog box.

claimed.
75654 156288 Title: Model Info not fetch the information from Assembly Model
Symptoms: Using Model Info on an Assembly View does not give any result. It is
no problem on an ordinary Model View.
Solution: Model Info is now fetched from Assambly Model. An Update Design is
needed on already created views.
173770 Title: Dimensioning Radius will show a maximum of 2 decimal values
Symptoms: Changing the number of decimals to more than two decimals for the
Radius measure does not work.
Solution: When creating radius or diameter dimensioning, the precision will not
be restricted to two decimals anymore.
82809 176159 Title: DWGPurge() does not do the same as the interactive function
Symptoms: It does not do the same as the interactive Function "Tools, Inspect
Drawing, Purge".
Solution: To get same behavior in DwgPurge compared to interactive function
Tools/Inspect Drawing/Purge, one requirement is that customer have the same
settings for MODEL_SUBVIEW_PURGE and MODEL_VIEW_PURGE also when
invoking DwgPurge. This is customers responsibility to check this.
Moreover, to be able to have same behavior regarding the handling of totally

sliced-away model subviews, an optional parameter "PreserveSlice" has been
added to DwgPurge (and DwgPurgePML):
Should model subviews, totally sliced-away be preserved ?
= 0 No
= 1 Yes (default value)
The value of "PreserveSlice" should correspond to what was ordered during
interactive transform (here the user is explicitly asked how to treat sliced-away
model subviews)
83435 177668 Title: DXF export doesn't export some subpictures
Symptoms: Some subpictures are missing in the export.
Previous/Known workaround: Try defining the variable

Solution: Corrected so the missing subpictures are exported.
Number Number
84050 178849 Title: Enhancement to show Evaluated Text at first in Modify dimension.
Symptoms: When you modify to Dimension Text, evaluated text showed first.
Previous/Known workaround: Original text is showed first. Select “Option” to
see evaluated text.
Solution: The issue is solved by remembering from where the predefined text
(original or evaluation) was fetched, troughout the session. This means that:
1. The first time the function "Edit dimension text" is used, the predefined value is
initially fetched from original text
2. The following times the function is used, the predefined value is initially fetched
from last used source.
84912, 180974, Title: Problem not to verify the models to newly add the symbolic view at the
86031 183504 attached drawing.
Symptoms: View ID's sometimes get's corrupt and the system does not
recognize the view as a Model View.
Solution: Check and repair if View ID's will now be done automatically whenever
a drawing is opened (File/Open, SHEET/Open, MarApi DwgOpen, Import SDB).
86419 185061 Title: Defect of Note
Symptoms: Aligned multi line texts on note return to default after move the
note.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually rearrange the note after it has been
moved.
Solution: Position of note text is now kept after move operation.
82038 185281 Title: Modify Dimension Presentation Hot Key
Symptoms: There are four alternative in "Text and Arrow Layout" when
modifying a dimention. Request is to be able to use keystroke 1-4 instead of
mouse click to select which style to use.
Previous/Known workaround: Only mouse indication is available.
Solution: It is now possible to use keyboard keys 1-4 to select the wanted layout
in Modify/Dimension/Presentation dialog as well as mouse click.
87009 185609 Title: After recreate Shell expansion view, Part seams are disappear.
Symptoms: After recreating a shell expansion view it could happen that some
seams disappeared.
Solution: The problem has been solved so that some seams are not
disappearing after recreating a Shell expansion view.
87338 186289 Title: SVIEW_LT_COL - STI_ABUT_TS and STI-ABUT_OS are not working
Symptoms: The statements for LT object STI_ABUT_TS and STI-ABUT_OS are
not working.
Solution: Corrected so Line type for abutting stiffeners is handled via the LT
object.
Number Number
186324 Title: Copy Drawing - give explicit new name to drawing copy
Symptoms: Improvement to existing interactive/batch Copy Drawing function
Solution: It is now possible to give an explicit drawing name when copying a
drawing in interactive mode, in batch mode and using a MarAPI method. All of
these three options only works at SHEE or DRWG levels.
The "Copy Drawing" dialogue has been updated with a new field to give the
explicit name. If given, the prefix/suffix fields for the drawing are disabled.
The batch function has a new keyword, "newdwgname" to give a drawing an

explicit name. This is optional to the user.
A new MarAPI method has been implemented, "dwgcopy", which takes three
arguments; name of source drawing, name of target registry and explicit name of
new drawing. If an empty string is input as new explicit name, then autonaming is
used (old name with prefix or suffix).
87412 186529 Title: Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs cannot be picked or have their
own representation
Symptoms: Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs, unlike FLOORs and
PANEls, always get their representation from their owner elements and cannot be
given their own representation rules, nor can they be picked.
Previous/Known workaround: Labels can be placed manually against
penetrations eg using the syntax "ON <penetration-design-element>
Solution: Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs now behave like those
under FLOORs and PANEls, so any representation rule that affects the
corresponding design element will be applied. The penetration will also be
pickable, but only where it corresponds to a design or catalog entity for which
ppoints are defined.
Note that representation rules do not distinguish between negatives and
positives, so if an element under the SCTN or STWALL has both, the penetration
and the standard geometry will pick up the same representation.
87830 187661 Title: department without a name created in PADD database, where it should
give the warning
Symptoms: When there is no department in PADD database, system creates a
nameless department and registry
Solution: The problem is fixed:
1. The system behaves the same way if you remove the drawing type in the "New
Drawing" dialog.
2. You will get a message "Failed to persist the new drawing in the PADD
database" instead of having a new drawing in an unnamed dept/regi.
88111 188498 Title: Marine drafting Insert Model out of slice scope in the sketch
Symptoms: when adding outfitting models to a Marine Drafting View, the models
are not clipped.
Solution: The problem is fixed, outfitting models should now be clipped also
when adding models to an existing view.
88704 189854 Title: Unable to regroup a subpicture level 3 while using the Polygon NOCUT
option
Symptoms: While attempting to use the Tools > Subpicture > Regroup, and
making use of option 6 (set to NOCUT) followed by option 4 (Polygon), the
system reports a FATAL ERROR and crashes after drawing the selection box.
Trying the same command but using option 3 (Geometry), works successfully.
Solution: Corrected so system will not abort.
Design Reuse:

Number Number
69484 138538 Title: After copying, the definition of Assembly view on Symbolic view is not taken
over.
Symptoms: When you export the drawing file who has one or some Assembly
views to import to other project, these view has been changed from Assembly
View to Design View in the imported project.
Solution: Corrected so Design Reuse makes sure that the assembly info stored
in drawing view is updated as according to target project. The assembly name
(ref)used as source in HSV creation in source project should be changed as
according to target project at import. This presumes a proper rename script for
assemblies as required by Design Reuse.

Symptoms: When trying to create an ACR for a basic Hull designer, who has a
SCOPE of all elements for a BLOCK and below. The ROLE is provding access
for ALL elements and the SCOPE is defined as ALL FOR BLOCK. However, the
result is access to all elements below the BLOCK but not the BLOCK itself.
Previous/Known workaround: As a work-around, you can adjust my SCOPE to
ALL, and create a ROLE-PEROP for BLOCK HIERAR but this may cause issues
in the future.
Solution: Code has been changed to include the element when creating the
secondary hierarchy. This was the cause of the problem. The BLOCK definition
is defined with the SECOLL set which means to just use the secondary
hierarchy.

their own representation
Symptoms: Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs, unlike FLOORs and
PANEls, always get their representation from their owner elements and cannot
be given their own representation rules, nor can they be picked.
Previous/Known workaround: Labels can be placed manually against
penetrations eg using the syntax "ON <penetration-design-element>
Solution: Penetrations under SCTNs and STWALLs now behave like those
under FLOORs and PANEls, so any representation rule that affects the
corresponding design element will be applied. The penetration will also be
pickable, but only where it corresponds to a design or catalog entity for which
ppoints are defined.
Note that representation rules do not distinguish between negatives and
positives, so if an element under the SCTN or STWALL has both, the penetration
and the standard geometry will pick up the same representation.
87532 186818 Title: Design - FT06 ancillary orientation error
Symptoms: Framework ancillaries do not orientate properly with the direction
input in the direction form.
Previous/Known workaround: Manual rotation of the ancillary in the mdsFT06

Solution: A warning is given when a seam is deleted due to boundary changes.
80922 172346 Title: Can't get topology point via Vitesse or PML until panel stored.
Symptoms: Data extraction is always getting data from the planar panel stored
on the data base and not the current one in memory in the current session.
Previous/Known workaround: Save the planar panel before extracting data.
Solution: In the current session, the activated planar panel will be used and not
the saved copy on the data base when extracting data via Vitesse data extraction
command.
82210 175221 Title: Impossible to cancel a flange creation operation
Symptoms: During a flange creation operation a user by mistake choose End 1
as a 'Profile section'. It is now not possible to cancel the operation and get back
to the Statement wizard.
Solution: Corrected so that now Operation Complete, End of Function etc. will
bring you back to the Statement Wizard.
83945 178627 Title: GUI form error on Hole for Curve
Symptoms: when creating a Hole defined by a curve and using "As Stored", the
M1 value field is locked and any value in that file is always populated to the
statement.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually remove the value in the schema editor.
Solution: The M1 value is no longer included in the statement when the hole is a
named object and "As Stored".
84942 181040 Title: NOC noch can not be defined on three edges bracket(EDGE_3)
Symptoms: Trying to add a NOC notch to a 3 edge bracket, fails.
Solution: Fixed so NOC can be given for the 3 edge bracket.
85088 181239 Title: Cannot create a bracket of BMB type via syntax 8.
Symptoms: Using a BMB bracket in other syntaxes works fine but when using
syntax 8, the system respond with an error message sayng "16117 - Unknown
toe type of bracket...Modify?"
Previous/Known workaround: Make a copy of the BMB bracket in
sbh_bracket_ctrl and call it something else (e.g. BMB8) and use this bracket in
syntax 8.
Solution: Corrected so BMB can be used also in syntax 8.
85093 181240 Title: Cannot define the material side for curved stiffener.
Symptoms: Old planar panel schemas containing a curved stiffener where MSI
keyword is included, cannot be run in AVEVA Marine 12.1.
Previous/Known workaround: Remove the keyword MSI from the statement.
Solution: A correction is made so the system will not give any error for this. The
keyword MSI has no (and will not have) effect on curved planar stiffeners.
Number Number
85648 182748 Title: The highlight colour of the selected Panel Bracket does not show as a
whole.
Symptoms: When indicate a Panel Bracket in the Statement Wizard, only one
segment is highlighted. The expectation is the whole bracket to be highlighted.
Solution: Changed so the whole bracket is highlighted when indicated.
86102 183802 Title: Endcut may not be adapted to the curvature of stiffener connected to the
shell
Symptoms: The endcut type is defined in SBH_ADJUST_ENDCUT but when
stiffener is connected to the surface, it is not adjusted to the curvature.
Solution: Corrected so curvature will be reflected when defined in
SBH_ADJUST_ENDCUT.

Number Number
75191 154576 Title: Hole delete operation in Production Panel doesnot propagate to design
panel
Symptoms: If holes, brackets or curves are deleted on a production panel that
had previously been updated from the design panel without the design panel
beeing activated in between, these deleted components still remaine after
updating the design panel from the production panel.
Solution: Corrected so the update between production panel and design panel
handle this delete operation.
85090, 181434, Title: Idealize Model(CAT-object does not exist)
85087, 181437, Symptoms: Varius issues in Idealization Model
85111, 181446, Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround.
85148 181447 Solution: Improvements have been made in the idealisation process especially
in the handling of panel boundaries. Idealised panels which fail to verify are no
longer deleted. The original boundary contour is restored even if this is not the
proper idealised contour. This is at least something that the user can modify
afterwards and it avoids unnessecary errors in referring panels.
85091, 181436, Title: Idealize Block Model inc KN Panel – Idealize Model is not created properly
85107 181443 Symptoms: Knuckled Panel not handled when idealizing a block.
Previous/Known workaround: Keep short names on sub-panels.
Solution: The check for long names in the Idealisation Settings dialogue has
been extended to subpanels to avoid this issue.
85149 181438 Title: Idealize Model – Class: GeoVector3 D: Vector is too short – Fatal error
Symptoms: System aborts during Idealization with a Fata error message: Vector
is too short.
Solution: Some code has been added that checks during the idealisation if a
stiffener is so short that the stiffener ends might coincide after being snapped to
the panel limits, other stiffener ends etc. That will avoid the observed crash.

66643 126934 Title: Bevel Type 25 Wrong Cutting length in PPI
Symptoms: when giving an angle (A) in the bevel statement using a bevel type
25 (fillet version of V-joint), the resulting part is too small.
Previous/Known workaround: Possible workaround is to add excess to the limit
but this must be manually calculated each time.
Solution: Corrected so the system automatically calculates the
extension/reduction of the plate automatically.
75180 154530 Title: Enhanced Pin Jig Drawing
Symptoms: The automatic created Pin Jig Drawing might sometimes be messy.
Unfortuantly the flat structure of it makes it very difficult to do touch-up.
Solution: The Pin Jig drawing has been enhanced in two ways;
-The drawing has a structure enabling move of e.g. the coordinate axis including
the values.
-The dimensioning are now persited enabling the use of dimensioning
modification functionality.
85450 182257 Title: Dimension placement does not display correctly on SB-side Curved panel
view.
Symptoms: The dimensioning on a Curved Panel on starboard side is not placed
on the Curved Panel.
Solution: Corrected so the dimension is placed correctly on the starboard panel.
85780 182957 Title: After Knuckled Panel, Cross marking does not display on plate part.
Symptoms: Adding crossmark to a hole in a knuckled panel is not handled in the
resulting plate part.
Solution: Corrected so cross marks for holes in knuckled panels will also be
marked.
86421 184412 Title: Part size with Autobevel is different according to Node definition(ex.+,-
value for Basic bevel Type
Symptoms: Using e.g. bevel type 17 where the NOSE factor is negative (e.g. -
0.5), the plate size is not correct. There is no problem when the NOSE factor is
positive.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists. If NOSE is defined
as -0.5, then the recommendation is to use +0.5 since this gives the same and
correct end result.
Solution: Corrected so when NOSE factor is negative, the calculated plate has
the correct with/length.
Marine Drafting:

Number Number
64577 119368 Title: User Define Hatching display out of the contour.
Symptoms: When using a User Defined Hatchpattern, it in some cases goes
outside the indicated area.
Solution: Corrected so no part of the hatch pattern is outside the indicated area.
Number Number
73049 149341 Title: 3D Event Point Snapping
Symptoms: Request the ability to customize which 3D Event Points the user is
allowed to select with 3D Event snapping to reduce the risk of errors (e.g. molded
vs. non-molded side of thickness).
Solution: A new "picking filter" for hull models is implemented. It can be activated
by setting the new drafting default keyword "HULL_PPOINT_PLINE_PICKING" to
"MouldSideOnly". This will reduce the number of p-points and p-lines in the 3D
point modes "event points".
80288 171038 Title: Missing/Unknown Drawings in Database
Symptoms: When drawings are listed in Open Drawing form, there are some
drawings that you can select but they do not have any names or any references
to drawings in database. They are blank drawings.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exsits.
Solution: A sheet without a user defined name is now being displayed by its DB-
reference number in the Open Drawing dialog.
85701 182847 Title: Guide dimension and actual dimension is displayed each differently.
Symptoms: When taken a measure and the measure is presented before it is
placed, is not the same measure that is seen when it is finaly placed in the
drawing.
Previous/Known workaround: No known workaround exists. This happens
mostly when 3 or more decimals are used in the measurement.
Solution: Problem solved, Guide dimension and actual dimension will now be
displayed the same.
85699 182850 Title: Unable to "exchange" Outfit parts, via PML, in a custom drawing directory
Symptoms: Error message saying that the model object is not found on the data
bank and that the data bank is not connected when trying to exchange Outfitting
parts via pml script.
Previous/Known workaround: The problem is caused by that fact that new
PADD databases does not have the "optional upgrade for SP3". (Admin will not
do this for you since it is not mandatory, you should be able to run 12.1.SP4
without this upgrade). So, work around is to do this upgrade which is strongly
recommended anyways (at least if all of your other database are upgraded.)
Solution: The problem is fixed, so it is possible to draw the models with MARAPI
also in a drawing of a user defined type.

updated according to current state. The problem occurs for referenced attributes
only.
Previous/Known workaround: Manually refresh shape.
Solution: The problem has been solved and Shape Data is updated
automatically on cable connection.
79027 166756 Title: Option for labels to swith on/of following annotated shapes is needed.
Symptoms: Labels are always follwing connectors they are attached to and
there is no way to change the behaviour. The solution for 2D shapes is already
implemented.
Solution: The existing founctionality for annotation optionally following 2D
shapes has been extended to handle connectors as well.
New option called "Move with connectors" has been added for label shapes. It
can be set in Import Shape/Edit Master dialogue and after label is dropped on
drawing, it is reflected in its context menu, so can be changed at any moment.
79447 169145 Title: SpecSearch does not change Attributes correct
Symptoms: SpecSearch does not change Attributes correctly when STYPE or
GTYPE attribute is not being set on an element.
Previous/Known workaround: set STYPE and GTYPE attributes manually
before re-spec.
Solution: STYPE and GTYPE attributes are now being properly set during
regular spec-search.
82362 175422 Title: Error whith referenced attributes for SCTUBs
Symptoms: Trying to add referenced attributes from the SCPLIN to the SCTUB
items it is displayed an error message (image) and later, the referenced attribute
shows 0 in the Shape Data. It happens the same with SCPLINE UDAs and
system attributes.
Solution: The problem has been solved and referenced attributes window works
as expected now.
82530 175686 Title: PBS fals to present sorted nodes

Solution: Remove SHOP false ATTAs from BELRFA.
78954 166718 Title: Some PSPOOL validation status are reinitialized whereas the modification
didn't impact them
Symptoms: NA
Solution: When we move flange HandleUserChanges method is invoked and
here we check whether any spoolings are required or not. If spoolings are
required we start creating pipe spools which internally tries to create pipe pieces
in that particular pipe spool. Then Spool Type is updated. When spool type is
updated there is a check for loose components (Arrive and Leave).
79754 169321 Title: Pipe component in LOOSE : fabrication excess is altered by user excess
(bad calculation of length)
Symptoms: NA
Solution: This bug was introduced while fixing 116378. An Additional check is
introduced in PFFabricationMachineManager.cs file for checking arrive
component is coupling or not. If arrive component is not coupling or arrive
component is not weld, arrive component is loose and user access is greater
than zero then tube length is
if (!(arriveComponent.GetElementType() ==
DbElementTypeInstance.COUPLING ||
arriveComponent.GetElementType() == DbElementTypeInstance.WELD)
&& result.ArriveComponentLoose && result.UserArriveExcess > 0)
{
result.ArriveTubeLength = result.ArriveTubeLength + result.UserArriveExcess;
}
82353 175396 Title: MarineDrafting: Model Exchange claims unexpected PIPE which
containing pspool elements.
Symptoms: NA
Previous/Known workaround: None that works in all scenarios.

59073, 102641, Symptoms: Naming rule changes are always stored in %PDMSUSER%
83149 176851 Previous/Known workaround: Store changes to PDMSUSER and copy file to
project or system defaults
Solution: Ability to store changes back to the file that was opened, provided that
the user has write access.
59074 102642 Title: Design - Limit access to Rules file to user with administration privilege
Symptoms: Naming rules can only be changed by an administration user,
however, any user can change the same set of rules using the colour rules
interface.
Previous/Known workaround: Limit access to files using OS file lock.
Solution: Limit access to Rules file to user with administration privilege.
71254 143765 Title: Cable - Prelimiary and actual dressing choose different components
Symptoms: If sec allows it, can get different components selected.
Previous/Known workaround: Needs manual correction.
Solution: If there is a choice of components in the spec then the first one is
always selected.
75287, 154991, Title: Hole Management - Elliptical HE type holes added to Hole Management
79933, 169651, Symptoms: HE holes were not supported
42972 69706 Known workaround: None
Solution: New HE hole type added.
Elliptical HE type holes have been added to the standard hole list in
Design/Outfitting. HE Hole types will appear on forms where standard hole types
are selected if the HE hole data has been loaded into the Hole Management
catalogue.
When a HE hole in a Marine hull panel is approved, a HE type HHOLE is added
to the hull model.

E3D Nouns
Symptoms: Load a E3D project like ACP using Design 12.1 SP4. Once it has
loaded expand any of the GPWL elements. Design will close with a fatal error.
Solution: The E3D ACP project contains some new Nouns under GPWL.
These are not in 12.1. When the code was reading the data under GPWL and
encountered one of the new Nouns it was ignoring the check that the Noun
wasn't known and carrying on instead of ignoring it and reading the next one.

Symptoms: When saving a surface in PACE the control points for a nearly plane
patch are adjusted.
Solution: An option has been implemented to disable the adjustment.
80154 170765 Title: Grain Loading Case
Symptoms: Permissible grain heeling moments calculated and reported even
when VCG is larger than crit KG.
Previous/Known workaround: None. This is not a bug, there are different needs
depending on use.
Solution: This issue has been addressed by adding an option to the Permissible
Grain dialog for altering the report as described. It is not an error that the
moments aren't reported as zero for KGs higher than critical KG since it is not
necessarily the grain heeling moment that is critical. At the bottom of the
"Permissible Grain Moment" dialog there is now a checkbox to limit the output at
crit KG. Default is the old behaviour, to change the output to the desired tick the
check box.
80155 170904 Title: Permissible Grain Heeling Moments
Symptoms: When analysing the area between the GZ curve and the grain
heeling moment curve the area calculated were always done to the fixed upper
limit of 40 degrees heel even if the moving limit of GZMax (point of maximum
difference between the curves) is at a position less than 40 degrees.
Previous/Known workaround: Change the upper limit setting to 0, for the "From
position of GZMax" in the "Residual dynamic stability" criteria of the Grain criteria
set.
Solution: This change is added to the criteria file which is delivered.
80153 171612 Title: Grain calibration

Symptoms: Always when giving an X coordinate, it is translated into an FR term.
Solution: The keyword FR_TERM_OUT can be assigned the following values:
-1 No FR-terms are used.
0 FR-terms with a possible offset are used (default).
This is relevant for new panels created. Panels created in previous versions with
the option STORE_FR will still get FR terms presented.
62815 114354 Title: Separate SBH_CUTOUT_TIGHT for Flange side and Web side.
Symptoms: Enhancement
Solution: The two new environment variables SBH_CUTOUT_TIGHT_WEB and
SBH_CUTOUT_TIGHT_FLA specify the tolerances to be used when checking
whether the profile web resp. profile flange should be welded against the cutout.
Default tolerances are 2.0 mm.
There is no change to the variable SBH_CUTOUT_TIGHT. The new variable will
however, override values given in SBH_CUTOUT_TIGHT.

68237 135226 Title: Problem not to consider the thickness of abutting plate by the CORR
keyword Symptoms: Using CORR in a boundary, referring an RSO does not give
correct result.
Previous/Known workaround: Instead of using CORR, a coordinate can be
given.
Solution: Corrected so CORR will find the outmost plate edge in the RSO and
use that when CORR is used.

modify the stiffener
Symptoms: Choosing MOU or Mtrl (NMOU) as bevel side from the statement
wizard would result in the opposite setting for the stiffener. Also when trying to
modify a stiffener with BVS=NMOU it would result in a blank field for bevel side in
the statement wizard.
Solution: The problem is now fixed so that the results will be correct if setting
bevel side from the Statement Wizard.
73710 151039 Title: Bracket panel welded flange weight
Symptoms: The weight of a welded flange on a bracket is not included in the
bracket weight (NWEI, GWEI).

39162, 65152, Symptoms: When moving a dimension, the arrow is always flipped back.
57171, 98386, Previous/Known workaround: Manually flip the arrow
63837 117081 Solution: A solution for the "flip arrow" persistence is now available.
1. Modify/Dimension/Flip Arrow will now persist the result in linear dimensionings.
In other types of persisted dimensionings (like Angle, Radius etc), the arrow flip
will still not be persisted.
2. A new function Modify/Dimension/Hide/Unhide Arrow has been introduced This
function is used to disable/enable dimension arrows and is applicable in
persisted linear dimensionings (the result will then be persisted) (in other types
of dimensionings (persisted or not persisted) the function is not applicable).
69329 138200 Title: MARAPI function DwgDelete does not work when a DB-reference string is
given as drawing name
Symptoms: The drawing is not deleted
Previous/Known workaround: Give the drawing name instead of DB-reference.
This will unfortunately not work if the name is longer than 26 chars or contains lower
case characters.
Solution: DwgDelete accepts the DB-reference string as input.
71406, 144457, Title: Wrong WCOG value
83728 178209 Symptoms: Using the Dimension -> WCoG function on an Assembly gives wrong
result. It takes the whole panels even if only a part is included in the assembly.
Solution: Made sure assembly as such is treated and not the assigned parts. If
assembly exists in drawlist of drawing and selection is switched to view level user is
asked whether assembly or model is meant for selection. It is not possible to mix
assemblies and models in the same selection.
72265, 147173, Title: Controlling colours of butting stiffeners via LT object
84421 179676 Symptoms: Abuting stiffeners has fixed colours in symbolic views (blue (os)/white
(ts))
Solution: Two new statements have been added to the LT object, STI_ABUT_TS
and STI_ABUT_OS.
Example of use:
STI_ABUT_TS/LT='DashedDotted'/COL_DESIGN='DimGrey'/COL_PROD='Red'/LA

ER=6006;
72430 147465 Title: Read only mode does not work at MarAPI
Symptoms: Drawing is claimed when opening as Read Only via API.
Solution: There is a new marapi function called DwgOpenAsCopy:
DwgOpenAsCopy( String DwgName, String CopyDwgName, Real CopyDwgType)
Input Arguments: 1. DwgName - Name of drawing to copy and open 3.
CopyDwgName - Name of drawing copy 4. CopyDwgType - Drawing type of the
new copy. Can be give as "DwgType". Note that "-1" has the meaning "same type
as the source drawing" The function only works for drawings stored in the PADD
database (therefore there is no drawing type argument for the source drawing, it is
fully identified by its name) (DwgOpenAsCopy is only implemented in MARAPI and
not in Vitesse).

Solution: If only the current window (zoom and pan operations) have been
changed, the version of the SDB file will not increase when drawing is saved.
74446 153595 Title: Empty view element is created in Draft Explorer after splitting subpicture.
Symptoms: Empty view element is created in Draft Explorer after splitting
subpicture.
Solution: The VIEW was empty because owned VNOT elements were not copied
as it should. This has been corrected.
75291 154993 Title: How to measuring a diagonal (space length) Length?
Symptoms: The 3D point "Intersect Curved Hull Models" does not work, it just gives

159539 Title: Enable sectioning and slicing for 'Wireline hidden-line' view type
Symptoms: 'Wireline hidden-line' is currently ignoring section planes (like true
wireline).
Solution: View type 'Wireline hidden-line' will now handle section planes (incl slice)
in both Marine and Plant. Using this view type instead of Local Hidden Line will give
a better performance.
76989 160357 Title: "Modify>Copy>Subpicture" to copy Subpicture level 3 shouldn't copy

Symptoms: When copying a View containing Backdrop information, the Backdrop
information should not be included.
Solution: When copying subpictures below view level to a new view, the backdrop
information will not be copied anymore (however, when copying a view, the
backdrop information will still be copied).

Symptoms: Cannot select equipment as a subview after migrating.
Solution: A new function Tools/Model/Transform has been implemented. The
behaviour when selecting outfitting models is similar to already existing function
Tools/Model/Delete, i.e. the Drafting default keyword AUTO_OUTFITTING_LEVEL
is trigged for optional transformation on high design level ( e.g. when identifying a
"Pipe Branch" model subview, all model subviews belonging to the owner Pipe are
transformed)

52871 87305 Title: Draft - Attempting to open E3D Drawing in PDMS Draft gives empty
read-only Ref window
Symptoms: On attempting to open a DRAWING with any transformed E3D
DRAW sheets, the Main Display is cleared, cursor hidden and title updated for
a transformed sheet, even though the sheet correctly cannot be opened. This
causes confusion as it appears that the sheet can be opened. The problem
does not occur when opening individual sheets (as of 12.1.SP2.20)
Solution: This has been fixed so that when opening a DRAWING containing
one or more AVEVA E3D DRAW sheets, these are ignored and only the
PDMS DRAFT sheets are opened. In addition the standard 'open multiple
sheets' confirmation prompt is replaced with the prompt: ''AVEVA E3D Draw
sheets will be skipped. Do you wish to add the other sheets to the view?''. If
there are only AVEVA E3D DRAW sheets under the DRAWING then an error
is displayed instead: 'Cannot display any sheets under the current drawing as
they can only be accessed using AVEVA E3D Draw'.
62970 114743 Title: Status Controller grid not getting refreshed on Edit Status

Previous/Known workaround: Refresh grid from column title right click menu
Solution: Grid now refreshes automatically following edit status.
62726 114996 Title: Quick Pipe Router now handles cases when BendMacReference is not
set
Symptoms: Null-radius bends created
Solution: The application will now check BendMacReference of the current
branch, pipe or zone, and if it is not assigned, the user will be requested to
choose a bending machine from those available in the project or select a
default bend radius factor (radius = outside diameter * factor). The default
bend radius factor is used for the current session on all pipes/branches that
have BendMacReference unassigned. If BendMacReference is assigned on a
pipe/branch, it is used instead of the default radius factor.
NB: The users are advised to assign bending machines wherever possible,
since the use of an explicitly specified bend radius factor is not subjected to
the same rigorous suitability tests as in Pipe Fabrication or Production Checks.
66349 127625 Title: Issues with drawing very large structures
Symptoms: Very large structures consisting of FRMW elements with
thousands of subelements have caused issues when drawn in DRAFT VIEWs.
These include a warning about internal limits being exceeded, missing ppoints
and potentially missing elements in the drawing.
Previous/Known workaround: Divide the framework (FRMW) into sub-
frameworks (SBFR)
Solution: The subelement limit for large FRMW has been raised to 21000 and
within this limit there should be no more issues with ppoints being dropped or
elements not drawn. Note however that having so many elements under a
FRMW is still not recommended. Where possible large FRMW (over 1000
subelements)should be created owning multiple subframeworks (SBFR)
instead, each of which should have a limited number of (say 1000)
subelements. This should also inprove the general responsiveness of the
application, for example picking ppoints and use of the design explorer.
69880 140379 Title: Cable - Allow for display control of the Cabling Application Defaults

62941 114735 Symptoms: The geometry of implied "TUBIs" are stored in the same level 3
subpicture as the component it is attached to.
Solution: It is now possible to get the "tubes" both for pipe and hvac in a
separate level 3 subpicture. There is a new drafting default keyword
"MODEL_COMPONENT_FOR_IMPLIED_MODEL" that you should set the
"Separate" (default value is "Combined"). After that you need to do "update
design" on existing views. In the Drafting explorer you can now see separate level
3 subpictures for the tubes with the name as "ILEAVE TUBI OF <gid>".
If you right click on a tube is the canvas and select "Navigate in Design Explorer"
this will navigate to the TUB element (provided that you have the option to see
them activated).

Previous/Known workaround: Do not use "update all", use "update design" and
"update anno".
Solution: Update all should now behave normally.
76044 157729 Title: SaveAs drawing, performance.
Symptoms: The performance of the function Save As... needs to improve.
Solution: The performance in Save As function has been improved.
The performance problem with "Save As" highly depends on the number of
PADD Views contained in the drawing. A way for the user to speed up
performance is to Purge the drawing (to get rid of empty PADD Views) before
saving it. For this purpose, the default variable PURGE_EMPTY_VIEW should be
set to "Padd".
Along with this solution comes also a significant performance improvement in the
Purge function.
164869 Title: Performance of zoom and pan in drafting
Symptoms: Zooming and panning in drafting is slow
Solution: The performance of zoom and pan has been improved. Furthermore a
new way of simplified drawing during zoom and pan has been implemented. This
functionality is obtained by holding down the "Ctrl" key while zooming and/or
panning. The system will then only draw each component in the drawing as
its circumscribed box. When the "Ctrl" key is released, the system will revert back
to normal draw mode.

component after switching branches.
Symptoms: It was possible to get the tube bore of the previous branch after
pressing the set branch button on the component creation form. This was due to
the select branch method not initialising the tube selection mechanism.
Previous workaround: Select the tube from the tube selection gadget.
Solution: The form now initialises properly on a new branch.
63877 118578 Title: Structures - Fitting BANG initialised correctly.
Symptoms: Create Fitting uses the SCTN BANG for its default value.

ASFBR/LSFBR in Pipe Fabrication.
72013 146459 Title: Datal output does not distinguish ambiguity between Word and unit
qualifiers in parameter lists.
Symptoms: Interpretting a WORD a unit for a preceding number in a parameter
list.
Previous workaround: Edit the data output by bracketing the preceding number
before input.
Solution: Bracketting numbers in parameter output lists which precede
ambiguous unit qualifier like words.
72093 146592 Title: Spooler - Spool Break at Tee off leg makes incorrect Spool Break attribute
settings.
Symptoms: Spool Break set at Tee PA/PL rather than at Off leg.
Previous workaround: Set TSFBREAK true for leave tube of Branch.

72617 147997 Title: Automatic Spool Regeneration fails to maintain attributes during pipe
changes.
Symptoms: Changing a pipe containing pspools does not mainiat individual
pspool attributes and sometimes the attributes are applied to a different pspool.
Previous workaround: Check the pspool attributes beforefinal issue
Cause: The old production checks utilities auto generate pspools each time a
pipe geometry is changed. The data elements in the old spools are re-used to
save data storage but this can result in the newly created pspools occupying
different db refs to what they started with. The core auto-regeneration simply
replaces the spool limit data and does not do anything to preserve existing
pspools.
Solution: Since 12.0.SP6, a PML routine has been used to compare the new
and old pspools before and after regeneration to preserve the spool names. This
has been sucessful in solving the name problem but never tried to maintain any
spool attributes. Now the comparison also compares and resets pspool attributes
values including UDA values.
73018 149280 Title: Admin - Infinite recursion problem with unknown elements.
Symptoms: Applications may hang, or Explorer and the command line may
display invalid member lists for unknown element types.

Number Number
68278 56347, Title: Manage holes handling problems.
134843 Symptoms: Hole Management fails to approve holes made for an Equipment
and the error message "Unable to create the hole" is presented.
Solution: This normally means that there are too many segments in the resulting
curve that will form the hole. The curve statement gets trunkated after 1000
characters. Meaning that the curve created by the MNG hole function might
corrupt the scheme. This has been corrected by just copying the contour and
reduce the curve statement to 'CUR, "CURVENAME", MNG;'
A Managed curve like this is not allowed to be changed by the hull Designer.
21190 60970 Title: REF keyword not automatically added to boundary.
Symptoms: In Statement Wizard when indicating a reflected Shell Profile, the
REF keyword is not added to the resulting statement.
Previous workaround: Add REF manually to the statement.

thickness.
Number Number
64579 119370 Title: After PPI executes, the panel edge is reduced by the value of Gap * 2.
Symptoms: When having multiple bevel gaps defined on the same Planar Panel
limit, the resulting plate part size is wrong.
Solution: Corrected handling of multiple bevel gap intervals on one plate panels.
65534 123116 Title: R1=0 and R2=0 is not acceptable for cutout 9999 intercrossing panels.
Symptoms: Giving R1 and/or R2 as zero (0) always adds a KS10 notch to the
9999 cutout for intercrossing panels.
Solution: Zero is acting as default value and will then use the default notch KS10
for cutout type 9999. By setting the environment variable
SBH_NO_INTERCROSS_RAD to any value, R1=0/R2=0 will be treated as if no
notch is desired.
65555, 123238, Title: Shell profiles as panel boundary is not possible
37663 69361 Symptoms: Using the "Profile Along" option in the Boundary statement on a
Statement Wizard.
Previous workaround: Manually change in trhe schema statement.
66193 129273 Title: The Virtual hole was inconsistent with real hole.
Symptoms: In Hole Management, an arbitrary hole on Starboard side is not
correctly displayed in Hull Design. The radius is displayed wrong.
Previous workaround: Manually change sign of the curve in the CUR statement
for the wrong radius parameters.
Solution: Non standard holes will be generated correctly on reflected planar
panels.
67425 130000 Title: "Outside" of GUI is checked if you modified to a plate without "DIS" on the
scheme.
Symptoms: In a FRP project, when a plate is not set "DIS" in the scheme,
"Outside" in GUI is automatically checked. This leads to wrong definition of
material.
Previous workaround: Manually check if DIS is checked or not.
Solution: The problem is now solved so that the Outside tickbox shows the
correct value for the plate being modified.
67747 131355 Title: Partly plate repesentation not display in the knuckle panel.
Symptoms: Some small parts in a knuckled panel is missing.
Solution: Corrected so all parts will be visible.
68201 134649 Title: Knuckle panel disappear from deck view.
Symptoms: When changing thickness of a deck panel, the abutting knuckle
panel is removed from the symbolic view.
Solution: This often happens when the thickness is increased. If the knuckled
panel is more than 15 mm from the view plane, it was considered to be outside
the view. This tolerance is now changed to 100 mm instead of 15 mm.
68812 136387 Title: Bead in FRP quality extracted always 'A' via DEX.
Symptoms: Using Data Extraction trying to extract the quality of a Bead, the
quality is always returned as zero (0).
Solution: Coreccted so the quality code (and quality text) is extracted from the
Bead.
68879 136664 Title: Frame number being inserted into Marking Text Rotation (UVT).
Symptoms: Opening a planar panel schema containing marking with free text,
the T (angle) is adding a FR term to the angle like T=FR0-90.
Previous workaround: Manually remove the FR term from the value.
Solution: Corrected so no FR/LP term is added to the T angle.
Number Number
69734, 139260, Title: FRP - When the panel receated, bead object in design tree is created once
72050 146433 more.
Symptoms: When the panel receated, bead object in design tree is created once
more but it is not included in the schema.
Solution: Corrected so no extra bead is created and the model is correctly
displayed also in the schema file.

Symptoms: When modifying a stiffener in the Statement Wizard, the LAM
information is lost in the Wizard.
Previous workaround: Manually add the lamination code.
Solution: Corrected so the Wizard will fill in the correct lamination code.
69748 139313 Title: Scheme Input Function vs. Hole Management Tool
Symptoms: Using Input Scheme containing a Managed Hole is not possible to
run. The HOL statment will always fail.
Solution: To make 'safe' handling both interactive and batch any panel with
managed holes will be stopped at panel statement to prevent corrupt panel (with
missing holes).
To update these panels remove reference or run panel/edit or panel/recreate.
69784 139439 Title: After stiffener inclination value is up to 10 EA, recently value is not applied.
Symptoms: The inclination field in the Statement Wizard is not presenting the
correct value.
Previous workaround: Manually modify to the correct value.
Solution: The correct inclination value is presented in the drop down list. If no
inclination is given in a stiffener, the field will be set to blank (i.e. no inclination).
70248 141032 Title: Attribute KNUCKL wrong for KL Brackets.
Symptoms: The bracket has no folded flange and still the attribute is ticked for
knuckle.
Solution: The attribute KNUCKL for brackets has been corrected to be correct
ticked/un-ticked.
70592 141889 Title: 3pts Panel does not display on curved panel view.
Symptoms: Panels defined with 3 points are not shown in the Curved Panel
view.
Solution: Corrected so all planar panels touching the Curved Panel will be
included in the Curved Panel View.
70642 142061 Title: Plane Panel Activate Options.
Symptoms: When activating a panel, the use of Options to present a popup
menu for typing of panels to be included or excluded for selection does not work.
Solution: The Selection dialog is now shown at Options.
71005 142915 Title: Tests on Solid Shell Plates / New Holes.
Symptoms: Various problems to display shell plates such as "Missing Transom
Shell Plate", "Badly Formed Bilge Radius Plate".
Solution: Display of shell plates has been improved.
71343 144209 Title: Creation of Bevel object in inithull happened error.
Symptoms: Adding more than 100 AUTO_SETs will give errors in the logfile
when creating the bevel object in inithull.

Panel is executed.
72024 146401 Title: Panel store post trigger executed too early.
Symptoms: Modifying symmetry for a panel e.g. from P to SBP, the trigger for
the reflected image of the panel is saved after the trigger has started.
Solution: Trigger is started when all internal save operations are done.
73386 150052 Title: System aborts when notches are defined on a twisted stiffener (Planar
Panel).
Symptoms: When adding a notch to a planar panel stiffener that is twisted, the
system aborts when the panel is saved.

Solution: Corrected so the Part ID is correctly extracted.
67867 132927 Title: Problem not to cancel the modification function in Curved Modeling.
Symptoms: When modifying a seam and user would like to canel the opration, it
is not possible if the seam is made by a plane with 3 points.
Solution: Solved so that the Cancel function works for Modify Seam Curve Plane
3 Points.
68528 135493 Title: Fatal Error when form was closed without name and open again.
Symptoms: If no name is given when using the function Create Curve in Curved
Hull, the program aborts.

design model using the new interface is possible. This also means that single
design panels can be handled.
56038 94000 Title: Seperate stiffener statements in transversal func. Panels.
Symptoms: When generating transversal panels in RSO the stiffeners are
generated in seperate statements and not in groups which is the case for panels
generated from RSOs in Y and Z planes.
Solution: Stiffeners generated in transversal panels will also be grouped.
57509 97096 Title: Block can not be handled (drag&drop, exporting as rvm file) but it is ok in
SP3.
Symptoms: System aborts when the block is to be presented.
Solution: Corrected so the block can be correctly displayed (and exported).
58794 101496 Title: Possible to split Design Panels.

Symptoms: Topology point for stiffener end that is created for a Production
Panel stiffener is not correctly transferred to the Design Panel.
Solution: If the profile end is not the same for the Production Panel as for the
Design Panel, the topological point referring it will be changed to a direct point.
65171 121642 Title: Errors when trying to modify symmetri of production panel in MultiView
project.
Symptoms: System gets confused when the Design Panel data base is a read
only data base when trying to modify symmetry of a Production Panel.
Previous workaround: Make sure all databases included are writable.
Solution: To be able to change symmetry on a production panel or a design
panel with production panels they all need to be in databases with write access. If
not, an error message is given and the function terminates.
65464 122718 Title: Not possible to copy panel from a prod block to another prod block
belonging to another desi block.
Symptoms: When trying to copy a Production Panel from one block to another
block the system is responding with the message: 'Invalid Block selected!'
Solution: The copy function is modified to accept copying between production
blocks belonging to different design blocks.
68278 134843 Title: Hole management fail to “Approve” on some HPANEL.
Symptoms: Hole Management fails to approve holes made for an Equipment
and the error "Unable to create the hole" is presented.
Previous workaround: No Previous workaround exsits.
Solution: This normally means that there are too many segments in the resulting
curve that will form the hole. The curve statement gets trunkated after 1000
characters. Meaning that the curve created by the MNG hole function might
corrupt the scheme. This has been corrected by just copying the contour and
reduce the curve statement to 'CUR, "CURVENAME", MNG;'
A Managed curve like this is not allowed to be changed by the hull Designer.
68146 135198 Title: Problem for restrinction in symbolicview.

Number Number
72669 148212 Title: Draft - VSCAN syntax used with WITHIN and IN CE can return unintended
results.
Symptoms: VSCAN syntax which uses WITHIN <volume> and IN CE can be
phrased such that the results are probably not what the user intended.
Specifically, it is possible but not recommended to enter the following syntax:
Q VSCAN FOR SCTN WITHIN <volume> IN CE
In this case the “IN CE” forms part of the generic selection criteria syntax
(equivalent to “WRT CE”) and is unlikely to be what the user intended. The
results may be very different from the probable intent of syntax such as:
Q VSCAN IN CE FOR SCTN WITHIN <volume>.
Previous workaround: Drop the IN CE part of the command when used in
conjuction with the WITHIN selection criteria. IN view_id is in any case only
required when scanning views elsewhere in the database hierarchy: if the current
element is on or under a VIEW then the VSCAN command runs against this
VIEW automatically.
Solution: It is not possible to remove this syntax combination without breaking
the generic volume based selection criteria syntax. VSCAN documentation has
been updated to point out the potential confusion. In addition the VSCAN syntax
has been tweaked to move IN view_id to earlier in the command (without
breaking existing syntax)
Q VSCAN <SIGNIFICANT | design_id> <FOR selection_criteria> <IN
view_id>
has now become:
Q VSCAN <SIGNIFICANT | design_id> <IN view_id> <FOR
selection_criteria>
When using the new syntax tree IN CE before the selection criteria will produce
the expected results.
72688 148443 Title: Global - In a Global project, Extract Issue may not Release elements if
there is nothing to Extract Flush.
Symptoms: No Global command is raised, and the item(s) remain claimed.
Affects Global projects only.
Previous workaround: Use EXTRACT RELEASE to issue items.
Solution: The system now runs an EXTRACT RELEASE if Extract Flush is
unnecessary.
72944, 149088, Title: Admin - User cannot be deleted because it is still 'Active' having been
73003 149268 expunged.
Symptoms: Error (1,37) reported because user is in the WAIT state
Previous workaround: If you can, replace the COMMs database by a new one.
Otherwise wait 24 hours and enter PDMS a number of times to use up all WAIT
slots (Use Q SLOTS to find out which slots are in the WAIT state).
Solution: WAIT users no longer block deletion.
72982 149206 Title: Design - Align secondary node not working when a SNOD owns more than
one SJOI.
Symptoms: SNOD not moved when it owns more than one SJOI.
Solution: Move SNOD to align with joints, and create new SNOD for joints that

Symptoms: During the import of iges file into the Surface Manager, curves
exported in iges containing several curves end as surface file containing one curve
(e.g. 4 exported curves are merged into 1).
Solution: Depending on how the curves are defined in the original CAD system
they are imported as follows:
- Unnamed curves are imported into different nodes with a synthetic name. (*)
- Named curves with the same name are merged into one node with the curve's
name.
- Named curves with different names are imported into different nodes with the
curve's name.
(*) In case the CAD system or the translator creates a synthetic name during the
export/import which is not unique, the user needs to give unique curve names in
the original system before the export to avoid unintended merging of the curves.

68974 137171 Symptoms: In a given nest, with e.g. part thickness is 16 mm and raw plate
thickness is 14 mm and the min/max thickness differences are +- 0.1 mm the
system hang. This means that the thickness check would make it impossible to
nest the part. The problem is only in these situations.
Solution: Corrected. The system will continue and make the calculation for the
plate.
67579 130899 Title: The function of "AUTO_BEVEL_INFO=Yes" does not work properly

between 12.0.SP6 and 12.1.SP3
Symptoms: Making a regroup of a sub-picture containing dimensionings, the
dimensioning component is not recognized as a dimension any more which
makes it impossible to delete as a dimension.
Known workaround: Delete the unrecognized dimension either as a subpicture
or by geometry.
Solution: Corrected so that the regrouped dimension will now keep it's identity
(but still lose its associativity, as before). In case not all parts of the dimension
geometry are regrouped, the original dimension will (as before) be retained (after
a subsequent "update anno").
64001 117435 Title: “Doffset” minus value is not applied to a dimension when a drawing is
opened in Marine Draft.
Symptoms: The attribute "Doffset" is not considered when it is a negative value.
Solution: A negative “Doffset” value is now interpreted correctly in a linear
dimension.
65324, 122441, Title: DEF_POINT_MODE doesn't work properly

DEF_POINT_MODE is set to e.g. 23 (Event Point), it still return a Node Point
while using 2D Linear Dimension.
Known workaround: No known workaround exists. Just manual change when
point mode is to be changed.
Solution: A new Drafting default keyword DIM_DEF_2DPOINT_MODE has been
introduced. This one will be used as "initial 2D point definition mode" (instead of
hardcoded "Node") when entering the following dimensioning functions: .
* 2D Linear
* 2D Distance
* 3D Distance To Plane – Leader
66352 126198 Title: Update Autotagging only works if CE is LAYE or a VIEW

47031, 44605, Title: Isodraft - Isodraft options producing Inter-DB macros cause crash after
46740 72710, savework in Design.
72749 Symptoms: Design crashes on savework when an isometric has been produced
using options MARK DETAIL ON or MARK REVISION ON or REPEATABILITY
ON.
Known workaround: Produce isometrics from Isodraft for these options.
Solution: Update database directly from Design for update of REV and DETA
attributes if DB is writeable. Produce macros for Split ATTAs and read-only
databases from Design.
56181 94399 Title: Improve test for Extract in Claim form to avoid problems with Database
naming conventions.
Symptoms: Reported problems with Extracts which were not Working extracts,
due to their naming conventions for standard Extracts. The form sometimes
reports an error when running claims on a Multi-write Master DB, because it
incorrectly runs "EXTRACT CLAIM" commands on the Master! Fortunately
Extract Claim Hierarchy commands don't report any errors!
Known workaround: Use 'Claim Current Element hierarchy' (or similar) which
doesn't report any errors, rather than 'Claim Current Element Only' which does.
Avoid naming conventions for Databases which contain the string '_EX'
Solution: Form recoded to use a simple attribute test for Extracts, rather than
the convoluted test used at present.
66583 126787 Title: Piping - Changes to the way MDS ATTAs are handled
Symptoms: Adding a MDS support to a pipe splits pipe pieces
Solution: This is no longer the case.
NOTE: Before this fix, adding an ATTA with SPKBRK true would break a pipe
piece into shorter ones unconditionally. This may be generally correct, but not in
the case of an ATTA added purely for the purposes of MDS as part of a support.
(MDS ATTAs created with the MDS application have the SPEC of their SPREF
equal to /MDS or /MDF.)
With this fix applied, such an ATTA will be ignored in pipe piece generation by
Production Checks. Any spools generated before the fix may have to be redone,
as they will contain more pipe pieces than necessary. Where an ATTA is
deliberately introduced in order to break a long pipe piece into smaller pieces,
that will still work, as long as its SPREF does not contain the strings '/MDS' or
'/MDF'.
69528 138711 Title: Isodraft - Weld Numbering not re-initialised for isometrics produced from
a detail list.
Symptoms: Weld Numbering is continued from previous isometric in detail list.

Solution: Corrected so the text will be placed correctly in the sketch.
Marine Drafting:

Number Number
40888 Title: REVERT may corrupt Marine Drawing-files
Symptoms: After a REVERT command, the Drawing-files associated with the
selected session are now also used by a later session. However the system may
have created additional versions of these files in intermediate sessions, which are
not removed. When the user changes makes changes to the Reverted session,
the filenames may clash with the files created during intermediate sessions. This
results in data corruption, since the new files are not saved
Known workaround: Tidy up unused external files which post-date those
belonging to the session created by the REVERT before allowing the user to
make further changes.
Solution: Fixed by change to REVERT functionality. This now creates copies of
the original files with a 'High-water mark' version number. Although this results in
more files being retained, it reduces the possibility of data corruption

in the original database
Symptoms: If a Sheet contains both Picture-file and Marine Drawing-files, then
both external drawing-files must be exist in order for Reconfiguration TO FILE to
work. If any file is missing, then Reconfiguration FROM FILE omits the Drawing-
file copy. Any existing files will be copied alongside the Reconfigurer files during
the Output stage, but they will not be read in and updated during the Input stage
to the destingation database.

to also handle nesting names.
New statement is: PLATE_NEST.
New attributes are: THICKNESS and QUALITY (only valid for PLATE_NEST).
Example of nesting names can be: PLATE_NEST/BLOCK_NAME /DELIM=' '
/QUALITY /DELIM=' ' /AUTO_SEQNO=6;
I-67483 130190 Title: Nesting is storing the wrong nesting in some cases.
Symptoms: in Nesting, have the MANU explorer open and Current Element (CE)
set to another nest than the one in use, save the CE nest and not the Nesting in
use.
Known workaround: Make sure CE and the nesting in use are the same before
saving the nesting.
Solution: Corrected so it is the nesting in use that is saved no matter which
element that is CE.
I-67488 130207 Title: Nesting, in several nestings the SAVE button is grey.
Symptoms: Open an old nesting makes the Save button to be greyed out.
Solution: The nest is most probably a very old nest containing parts created via
the nesting tool Part Create. Over time there has been additions to nestings and
in those very old nestings, this addition is missing causing the nesting system to
misunderstand the intention and hence blanking the possibility to save the
nesting. This is now removed so a nesting will always be possible to save.
I-67489 130218 Title: Nesting, labels cannot be deleted any more (greyed out).
Symptoms: Adding a label in nesting using Key In option, the delete function of
labels are greyed out and it is not possible to remove the label text again.
Known workaround: If a label text, using the Production Information option is
used the first time in the session, the Delete Label function will be visible through
the whole session. The issue is only if Key In option has been used the first time
in the session.
Solution: Corrected so also Key In option may be used the first time.

when drawn as assembly.
I-66236 125593 Title: Default view property is not utilized when Marine Drafting is first launched.
Symptoms: The default VIEW_TYPE is defined but it does not give the expected
result.
Known workaround: If VIEW_TYPE consists of only Upper Case letters this will
work.
Solution: The value was converted into uppercase letters and then not
recognized by the function. This is now corrected so the value is not translated
into uppercase letters.
I-66417 126272 Title: Command tooltips are listing their CTRL hotkeys twice.
Symptoms: When hovering over a menu command (or toolbar command) that
has a hotkey, then the tooltip is listing the hotkey twice (i.e. Create a new

Solution: Duplication of hot key names in tooltips now removed.
I-66320 126513 Title: Marine Drafting does not remove obsolete views.
Symptoms: Empty sub-picture views remains in the drawing.
Known workaround: Manually delete the views in the Drafting explorer.
Solution: When purge is ordered explicit (via Tools/Inspect drawing/Purge or
right-click/Purge in the Marine Drawing Explorer) empty DO views will be
removed together with referred PADD views. It is up to the user to make sure
nothing of interest in such a PADD view is lost.
However, we will keep the safe way during automatic purge (not ordered by
user).
I-66571 126894 Title: Uppercase drawing names not being maintained during alternative copy
routine.
Symptoms: Opening a drawing that is claimed by another user prompts for a
new name of the drawing. If the default DWG_NAME_UPPERCASE is defined
as YES, the system is not forced to capital letters.
Known workaround: Make sure uppercase letters are used either by the Shift
key or Caps Lock set.
Solution: Corrected so capital letters are always forced when
DWG_NAME_UPPERCASE is defined as YES.
I-66627 126900 Title: Incorrect when using the stretch commands on RECTANGLES.
Symptoms: When using the Stretch function on rectangles, only one side is
correctly stretched.

I-67162 129097 Title: Problem to find user defined drawing types when
IGNORE_MARPTYPE_FOR_USERDEF =Yes .
Symptoms: In the Open Drawing dialog you will not see all the sued defined
drawings.
Solution:
1. When searching for a user defined drawing type in the Open Drawing dialog
AND IGNORE_MARPTYPE_FOR_USERDEF =Yes then the system will
automatically limit the search to the department set up by SB_PDB00x_PADD.
2. In case you need to search the whole mdb for user defined drawing types
when IGNORE_MARPTYPE_FOR_USERDEF =Yes, we have implemented a
new option: "All Drawings" which is a new choice available in the list of drawing

Number Number
I-40519 69546 Title: Damage Summary Range Column in loading conditions is often all zero
Symptoms: The damage summary report is often returning zeroes in the range
column.
Solution: The damage summary table did not use the actual values as calculated
when checking the criteria sets for each damage case, instead a "standard" setup
were used. This had the effect that there were either some slight deviations from
the "true" values calculated for each damage case or the values became 0. For
the range column a 0 result were common, this because the chosen method were
best suited for an intact case with an upright equilibrium.
With the changes the damage summary table will for all cases when it with
success has calculated a criteria value for range, max GZ and area under GZ-
curve write that to the damage summary table. If the criteria set does not contain
a check for any of them it will fall back to the old way of calculating the values.
Number Number
I-61791, 111372, Title: Damage Stability Results reported in Loading Conditions Inconsistent.
I-40519, 69546, Symptoms: The damage summary report is often returning zeroes in the range
I-64207 119029 column.
Solution: The damage summary table did not use the actual values as calculated
when checking the criteria sets for each damage case, instead a "standard" setup
were used. This had the effect that there were either some slight deviations from
the "true" values calculated for each damage case or the values became 0. For
the range column a 0 result were common, this because the chosen method were
best suited for an intact case with an upright equilibrium.
With the changes the damage summary table will for all cases when it with
success has calculated a criteria value for range, max GZ and area under GZ-
curve write that to the damage summary table. If the criteria set does not contain
a check for any of them it will fall back to the old way of calculating the values.

Symptoms: Some parts of a surface released from Initial Design, Surface, is
missing.
Solution: Corrected so the released surface will be fully included in the project.
I-65504 122930 Title: Deterministic Stability not calculating Condition KG correctly with a shift
moment fluid load
Symptoms: The issue stems from the fact that the ship uses a stabiliser tank and
requires the use of Shift Moment FSM calculation. The calculations are working
correctly in the loading condition but when the same load group is included as
‘Deadweight available for loss’ the GZ curve produced is more than twice the size
of that in the original Loading condition for the same initial conditions. This does
not happen if the stabiliser is in the load group as fixed or max FSM.
Solution: When using the "Deadweight available for loss" option in deterministic
calculations and assigning a loading condition using compartments with shift
moment option for calculating free surface moment the resulting VCG for the
condition turned out incorrect. This is now corrected.

Solution: This is defined by the Statement wizard. It is now changed so that the
numbers 1 and -1 for Material and Mould side is changed into the keywords MOU
and NMO (Mould and NonMould side).
I-62088, 112210, Title: Creating a topological point at flange end, the profile reference (F1) is
I-61967 111996 changed to stiffener reference (S1).
Symptoms: When indicating a flange end to define a topological point, the
Statement Wizard changes the reference to be a Stiffener reference instead.
Known workaround: Manually in the schema change to the correct flange
reference.
Solution: Corrected so that the Flange reference remains.
I-62813 114345 Title: Even if the overlap <NO=1>&<NO=1>, It is performed without Error
(marking stmt).
Symptoms: Creating a marking with the MAR statement where the marking
already exists will overwrite the already existing marking.
Known workaround: Manually check that not the same number, NO, is used in
the marking statements.
Solution: Marking is checked so it is not overwriting already created marking. Also
next available marking number is presented by the statement wizard.
I-63934 117334 Title: Ppanparts is not working with KN-panel on SB-side. (Fatal Error).

Solution: Corrected so that the type "curved stiffener" will be recognized.
I-48081 74681 Title: Shell Expansion view horizontal ruler
Symptoms: In the function Position Ruler, it is possible to choose Base Line and
Longitudinal position rulers. This is not relevant for a Shell Expansion View.
Known workaround: As long as the user is aware that those rulers are not
relevant for the view, there is no problem.
Solution: The choices that are not relevant for the Shell Expansion View are now
greyed out.
I-48414 76378 Title: Escape key does not work when create a shell plate.
Symptoms: Pressing the ESC key will in most cases close the form but for Shell

Symptoms: Splitting a Shell Stiffener on Starboard side against a symmetrical
defined Planar Panel does not take the correct plate thickness into consideration.
Known workaround: Manually adjust angles after split.
Solution: Corrected so that the correct plate in the panel is used to split the Shell
Stiffener.
I-64094 117695 Title: Cplate cannot be added to cpanel.
Symptoms: Adding a Shell Plate to an existing Curved Panel on an additional
surface may give a warning about wrong block box and not adding the plate.
Solution: Corrected so the Shell Plate can be added.
I-64442 118901 Title: Setting plate PosNo via marAPI.
Symptoms: Can't set PosNo for the reflected instance of a symmetric plate.
Solution: Use the new methods:

Symptoms: specification not propagated for line members
Known workaround: Write a PML macro that updates the branches and its
components according to the Pipeline
Solution: When user change pipe specification by “Pipeline properties” then after
dialog confirmation, the system will ask user if the changes should be propagated
to all line members, including branches.
IF answering yes, the system will try to find specification reference for all
elements where the pipe specification has changed. In case the user skips this
process, he can open diagrams where the pipeline is located and execute refit
“manually” on each branch.

Number Number
I-30345 62313 Title: When under 1mm 2D primitives created in Hull Drafting will collapse.
Symptoms: When creating an OUTL with "coinciding" vertices (any two vertices
in approx the same position), such vertices will refer to one common PPOS (the
one created for the first created VTRX). If the position is closer than 1 mm, the
system will abort.
Known workaround: Type "TOLERANCE OFF" in the command window.
Solution: Tolerance will be disabled at startup of Marine Drafting (same as for
Draft).
I-50732 82376 Title: Need loosing restriction after changing projection.
Symptoms: After copy of a sub-picture, the 2D restriction window is moved if the
projection in the sub-picture is changed.
Known workaround: Manually re-make the restriction window.
Solution: The restriction window will stay at the same place after change of
projection.
I-57799, 97756, Title: When subpicture Copy/Move the event point disappeared.
I-57799 104073 Symptoms: When copying sub-pictures, the 2D restriction is defined as On. This
makes it inconvenient for using event points in the copied sub-picture.
Known workaround: Manually, after the copying is done, define the 2D restriction
of the new view.
Solution: The 2D restriction will by default be set to Off.
I-57800 97758 Title: When change Project view in Marine Drafting. Model view position was not
same position.
Symptoms: When changing projection on a view in the Marine Drafting canvas,
e.g. in a Pipe Sketch, the model picture is moved to another location in the
drawing.
Known workaround: Manually transform the picture back to its original position.
Solution: Improved so the picture will not move away from the original position in
the drawing. Some added information (such as dimension) may not survive such
operation and needs manual attention.
I-59142 102659 Title: Incorrect message when deleting via the Drawing Explorer.
Symptoms: When using Right Click function Delete in the Drawing Explorer, the
title is not correct in the confirmation window. Also, sometimes it is the data base
reference number that is shown in the window and not the name.
Solution: The title is corrected to "Delete model" and the correct name is
displayed.
I-59143 102660 Title: Incorrect message when exchanging via the Drawing Explorer
Symptoms: When using Right Click function Exchange in the Drawing Explorer,
the title is not correct in the confirmation window. Also, sometimes it is the data

Symptoms: Using the Label function in Hull Modelling and trying to use the
Symbolic, Select from list will give an error message "Object does not have a
member VAL".
Known workaround: Use Marine Drafting.
Solution: The Symbol Selection form can be shown only in Marine Drafting. It is
not possible to use the form from Hull Design, because it uses drafting specific
PML functionality to display 2D symbols. The fix is only dimming the button
showing Symbol Selection form if application is not Marine Drafting.
I-61298 110048 Title: Label, intelli text window too small.
Symptoms: The window for the intelli text is too small so all information is not
visible.
Solution: Label Intelligent Texts window is now resizable and remembers its size
between sessions.
I-62388 113334 Title: Hatch not appearing in LOGO in ADP drawing.
Symptoms: Hatching failes in Marine Drafting but is ok in Outfitting Draft.

importing the drawing.
I-62942 115210 Title: The function of Hatch Pattern is Created incorrectly
Symptoms: The hatch pattern is missing some parts in the hatching.
Known workaround: This could happen when the geometry is very far from the
origo. Move the contents of the drawing closer to origo.
Solution: Fixed so that hatching procedure will produce correct hatching also
when the geometry is far from origo.
I-63511 116652 Title: Shell Plate names are not appearing for Properties in Curved Hull
Symptoms: In an "Input Model" view, indicating in View properties, the names of
Shell Plates are not displayed.
Solution: Corrected so that the Shell Plate names are displayed in the view when
requested.
I-60965 117080 Title: The Error of dxf import file.
Symptoms: Distance To Plane dimensioning not giving correct result after
regrouping in an imported drawing.
Solution: The dimensioning will give a correct result also after regrouping sub-
pictures in an imported dxf drawing.
I-63840 117083 Title: Subpicture Automatic function is different between 12.0 and 12.1.
Symptoms: Adding geometry/text to a subpicture is adding it to the closest
component rather than the subview.
Solution: A new Drafting default keyword to control the behaviour has been
introduced:
Name:
MODEL_SUBVIEW_AS_AUTO_STRUCTURE_ALLOW
Description:
Controls the protection of model subviews when current structure is selected
automatically
Legal values:

plate that intersects the curved stiffener. If now defining a notch in the stiffener
using the seam as reference, the notch will not be placed correctly at the
intersection between the profile and the seam.
Known workaround: Instead of using the seam as reference, the notch can be
placed with help of a line intersection, e.g. Y=2500.
Solution: The placement of the notch when using seam as reference has been
corrected.
Number Number
I-61137 108968 Title: Bracket stiffener is not able to define

Symptoms: Bending template application aborts.
Known workaround: check that more than one frame curve is intersecting the
curved Panel.
Solution: In case of only one frame curve intersecting the Curved Panel, a
message will be presented in the log saying that the settings of frames should be
changed.
"Failed to calculate base plane
Only one frame position is intersecting the curved plate, change settings or
change template type."
Number Number
I-61347 110134 Title: The X coordinate of the Corner Point does not change the distance from the

now extended to 300 characters.
I-59704 104523 Title: Missing references between design and production panels
Symptoms: Run a schema via "Input Scheme" in a Multi View project
(Design/Production panels) will break connections between Design and
Production Panels.
Known workaround: Do not use "Input Scheme" in a Multi View project.
Solution: Generation after Input Scheme cannot be done for a design panel with
production panels. In this state the design panel component has connections to
the ones on the production panel and Input Scheme generation actually creates a
new panel from a scheme file that can be totally different from the stored design
panel.
This is now prevented and an error message given to the user.
Note that scheme generation is of course still possible via the function Get
Scheme.
Number Number
I-59760 104634 Title: Additional seams in Design Panel
Symptoms: In symbolic views all planar seams are drawn. There is a possibility to
hide all seams by setting the Hull Design default NOSEAMS but then no planar
seams will be shown at all. In some drawings, the Design Seams is desired but
not all production seams.
Solution: An additional value to the default NOSEAMS has been introduced. By
setting the value 2 (NOSEAMS=2), only those seams that include the text
"DESIGN" in the comment (COM) in the planar panel will be presented. All other
seams will be hidden.
I-60079 105506 Title: The OK button will be activated when select twice to the envelope.

108668 Title: Problem with GSD's positions on plates for flanges in holes
Symptoms: Converting Curved Flanges in Holes into plate parts will place the
GSD on the plate part the flange belongs to, along the outer contour of the plate
instead of placing the GSD at the hole.
Solution: Corrected so that the GSD's are placed correctly at the hole contour.
I-61215 109460 Title: Ppanparts is not working with Tap in the panel. (Fatal Error).
Symptoms: Fata error when running Ppanparts on a panel where a Tap is
defined.

Symptoms: Some welds are displayed inside the material.
Solution: Welds that are displayed inside the material needs to be re-calculated
with this hotfix version.
I-60000 105066 Title: Welds are not correct presented in 3D Viewer
Symptoms: Some welds are displayed inside the material.
Solution: Welds that are displayed inside the material needs to be re-calculated
with this hotfix version.
I-60115 105681 Title: Unnecessary welds are added
Symptoms: Weld at Curved Flanges on Planar Panel Boundaries may sometime
give extra welds.
Solution: Corrected so only the part for the Curved Flange will get welds.
I-60776 107879 Title: There is an unnecessary weld line on the notch area.
Symptoms: If the flange is created at a limit which has been defined as a curve
and this curved contains a 'notch', the notch geometry will be included in the weld
geometry.
Known workaround: See Solution
Solution: Model the limit without a curve and add the notch using the notch
statement.

Solution: Marine Drafting will also display the 2D symbol correct.
I-45277 75465 Title: 2D RESTRICTION
Symptoms: The 2D restriction does not change the size of the view. The view
size is kept its original size also after the restriction is done.
Solution: The problem was that the SIZE attribute of the VIEW element was
sometimes not set properly when setting the 2D restriction in the original view.
This caused the problems when copying to a new view.
It means that the fix will not work for old views that have an incorrect view size
compared to the 2d restriction but it will prevent the problem in future 2d
restriction handling.
I-57499 97067 Title: CE will be changed after zooming drawing.
Symptoms: Setting CE to a View element in the Draft Explorer and then make a
P-point operation will change CE to a sub-ordinate element under the view.
Known workaround: Always manually define CE after each operation.
Solution: Corrected to keep CE after such operation.
Number Number
I-58867 101710 Title: Incorrect Dimension Curved value on each symbolic view
Symptoms: Making the same section views but with different limitation
sometimes causes the curved Dimensioning to present the wrong dimension.
Solution: Corrected so that all dimensions are correct independent of view limits.
I-59139 102656 Title: Drawing Explorer does not maintain highlight if mouse is moved out of

Solution: Current and revised values of attributes is compared and updated.
112021 Title: Sorting option is needed for PBS Explorer.
Symptoms: Currently there is no option for automatically sort nodes in PBS
Explorer.
Known workaround: Sort collections inside PML functions used for getting
PBS elements. It works, but makes the funcions complicated and affects
performance.
Solution: The funcionality has been added now. The nodes are sorted
alphanumerically by default and it is possible to turn the sorting off using state
command (Aveva.PBSAddin.SortPBSExplorerCommand). All nodes are
sorted or not, it is not possible to sort only selection of nodes. The exception
is for nodes with static texts - it is possible to keep original order even if the
rest of nodes is sorted (controlled by command
Aveva.PBSAddin.SkipStaticTextsCommand). Buttons for both commands are
added to Project->Options->PBS Explorer Options.
113520 Title: Page array is too short.

Symptoms: When exporting Arc geometry with line rounding set, diagram
export fails. Normally user can not create Arc geometry using GUI, but it
might be created by Visio when line jumping style is set to Arc.
Known workaround:
1) Disable line rounding
2) In case if line rounding can not be disabled, changing line jumping style
from Arc to something else should helps. However, it might be that export
fails anyway.
Solution: After fix diagram with rounded Arc can be exoprted.
114283 Title: Leader line for labels.
Symptoms: Before, part of label's leader line that was under "rectangle" was
visible in DWG but not in Diagrams.
Solution: Leader line for labels can be exported to DWG with proper z-order
now.
I-62808 114324 Title: Autonaming during copy with SCAREA.
Symptoms: At the moment the propagated attributes of a SCAREA are set
after the rename step in the copy process. So if the name contains one of the
propagated attributes then the result name is wrong. The naming of the
objects should be done at the very end of the copy process.
Known workaround: Run autonaming again after copy/paste
Solution: Naming of objects is now made at the end of the copy process,
which will make sure that propagated attributes are considered in the
autonaming.

Symptoms: Not possible to create reports for some Hydrostatics calculations
Solution: Implemented in 12.1.SP4.1. Additional data have been added to db
elements in 12.1.SP4 hotfix 1, it is not possible to use data stored with hotfix 1 in
12.1.SP4.
Planar Hull:

Number Number
58318 Title: Cutout not possible for profile type 11.
Symptoms: Making cutout in a profile type 11 for a penetrating profile will result
in error 612.
Solution: Correction is made to accept cutouts in profile type 11.
Number Number
59345 Title: Side option should not be available while creating markings for PS and SB
panels.
Symptoms: When creating marking on a side specific panel (P, S or SP) the
option Side is available in the Statement Wizard. If a side is chosen, no marking
will be produced.
Known workaround: Do not select any side for marking in the statement wizard
when handling a side specific panel.
Solution: The Side field will be dimmed for side specific panels (P, S and SP
panels).
60002 Title: Unhandled Exception while creating doubling for notch at seam end.
Symptoms: Creating a Doubling for a notch where the notch is defined at a
seam end, on a CL panel may cause the system to an abnormal abortion.
Known workaround: No known workarounds exist.
Solution: The Doubling will be correctly handled and the system will be able to
produce the Doubling.
62734 Title: While modifying the excess side is not set.
Symptoms: In a SBP panel, add excess but only for one of the panels (Valid only
P). When modifying later the excess via the Statement Wizard, the side
information is lost.
Known workaround: Modify the excess statement in the Schema editor.
Solution: The side information is correctly presented in the Statement Wizard.
63104 Title: Problem with creation of an Interpolation Point.
Symptoms: When creating a topology point of type Interpolation, the default
factor is set to zero (0). This is not a realistic factor but a point is still created at
the location of the first point.
Known workaround: Set a valid factor (F=<factor>) in either the schema
statement or in the Interpolation factor field in the Statement Wizard. If the
behaviour to get a point at the same location as the first point, using factor 0 is
desired, another topology point type should be used.
Solution: A default factor of 0.5 will be defined if the point is created via the
Statement Wizard.
I-24591 68783 Title: Notch is created in the wrong position.
Symptoms: In a Starboard specific panel there is an unsymmetric corner notch.
Creating a Doubling for this notch and also create a notch in the doubling for a
seam will cannot be handled by the Statement Wizard.
Known workaround: The reflection keyword, REF, can be added in the schema
editor.
Solution: The reflected seam will be handled correctly.
I-51862, 85638, Title: Problem to use macro clips.
I-56272 94631 Symptoms: If a compiled geometry macro is called, the system will fail.
Known workaround: Make sure all macros are correctly compiled and are of no
zero size.
Solution: Proper message will be displayed and the system will continue.
I-52442 86610 Title: “DEF_QUAL_OUT”on sj001.def is not working correctly.
Symptoms: Defining the default keyword DEF_QUAL_OUT in Hull Modelling will
not have any effect on the schema as described.
Solution: The default quality code will be added in the schema if the keyword is
defined in the Hull Modelling default.
Number Number
I-55466 93010 Title: Colour settings in Sj001 don't work.
Symptoms: The defined colour in the Hull Design default file is not reflected in
the Statement Wizard.
Known workaround: Do not use the default colour setting. See Solution.
Solution: In the statement wizard the latest used colour is saved from the last
run for every part. This makes the use of default colour for parts no longer
necessary and also the two functionalities conflict. The default colour has been
removed.
I-55519 93556 Title: Undefined term BEM.
Symptoms: When defining a Planar Panel in the Statement Wizard in Structural
Design the wrong keyword for Non watertight panel is written in the panel
statement. The keyword BEM is written when it should be NOWT.
Known workaround: Manually change the BEM keyword to NOWT in the
schema editor.
Solution: Correct keyword NOWT will be written in the PAN statement for Non
watertight panels.
I-56454 94960 Title: Wrong profile symbol on bracket
Symptoms: Symbols for flat bars on brackets in a symbolic view shows the
symbol of a HP bar.
Solution: The correct symbol will be shown for a flat bar on brackets.
95461 Title: Modifying multiple stiffeners changes the position number.
Symptoms: When modifying multiple Shell Stiffeners (any modification), the
position number is automatically updated but they all gets the position number of
the first stiffener in the list.
Known workaround: Update one by one Shell Stiffener.
Solution: The issue is corrected.
I-57380 96781 Title: If I using the Named Cut-out cannot create a hole in the clip.
Symptoms: When defining a Cut-out and use a named cutout type, all fields in
the "Clip hole" tab are dimmed.
Known workaround: Add the hole in the clip manually in the planar panel
schema.
Solution: The correct field will be available.
I-56862 97064 Title: There’s a problem with modification of stiffener end bevel.
Symptoms: When adding bevel to a stiffener flange end (no bevel for the web),
the system responds with the message "Undefined term or term in wrong
position".
Solution: The system wrote the wrong information in the bevel side of the
stiffener end for the web part if no bevel is defined for the web. This is now
corrected and if no bevel is defined for the web, only for the flange, UNS will be
written in the bevel side to indicate that this part is undefined e.g.
BVS=UNS:TOP.
I-57620 97329 Title: Incorrect AS value of Bracket Instance.
Symptoms: when defining any of the keywords AS1 to AS4 in the bracket
instance setup, the value of AS1 to AS4 (GPS! to GPS4) all get the value defined
for AS1.
Known workaround: Manually change the values in either the Statement Wizard
or in the panel schema.
Solution: The values will be correctly distributed.
I-57716 97598 Title: Definition of bracket with FACE_PLATE.
Symptoms: When defining brackets that should only contain a face plate (no
stiffeners), stiffener number one will still be added along the free side of the
bracket.
Known workaround: Set PRB to -1, indicating that the second profile should not
be available.
Solution: When only face plate is required, no stiffeners will be applied.
Number Number
98382 Title: The clip data is not getting updated properly.
Symptoms: When using standard clip e.g. 010 and defining a hole in the defined
clip, when modifying, the hole tab is not correctly updated. It is the hole for the
first clip that will be opened up in the wizard but the definition is for the second
clip.
Known workaround: Modification has to be done for the clip in the schema
statement.
Solution: The standard clip code will be properly decoded so that the correct
hole information can be edited.
I-58549 100612 Title: Obsolete default parameters.
Symptoms: The Hull Design Default parameters DRAW_FLA_TEXT,
DRAW_PLATE_TEXT and DRAW_STI_TEXT has no effect at all.
Known workaround: -
Solution: The parameters have been removed.
101499 Title: While modifying existing hullmark, the field 'Angle' takes the value of the
previously modified Hull Mark.
Symptoms: Modifying a Hullmark that was previously defined where the Angle is
defined, this field is not correctly handled. The value that is presented is not the
values given by the original definition.
Solution: The field will be properly handled presenting the valid data.
I-58428 102467 Title: Bracket modifying syntax
Symptoms: When modifying a bracket in the Statement Wizard and changing
the syntax, it is possible to press the Update button. If doing so, a new bracket is
created and the original bracket remains unchanged.
Known workaround: Modify bracket in the schema file.
Solution: Update a bracket in the Statement Wizard is prevented if the syntax is
changed. Normally a syntax change is followed by other changes and the logic in
the syntax may not be correct.
Curved Hull:

Number Number
95399 Title: Fatal error occurs while creating a shell plate when bodyplan view is
present in the main view port.
Symptoms: When creating a new Shell Plate and there is a Bodyplan view
present the system fails if the plate is outside the Bodyplan view limits.
Known workaround: Do not create Shell Plates when a Bodyplan view is
present or make sure the Shell Plate is within the Bodyplan view limits.
Solution: Shell Plates will be possible to create outside a Bodyplan view limits.
I-57550, 97172, Title: No holes in 3D displayed by symmetrical cpanel.
I-57545 97151 Symptoms: Holes in symmetrical Curved Panels are not properly displayed in
3D view.
Solution: The holes will be correctly displayed.
I-58846 101619 Title: Disappear Long No in Bodyplan
Symptoms: When using the function "Recreate View" on a Bodyplan view, the
longitudinal numbers disappears from the view.
Known workaround: Remove the view and make a new Bodyplan view.
Solution: The longitudinal names will remain in the view after recreation of the
view.

Number Number
I-46384 73681 Title: Making text available for RSO's
Symptoms: No text's available in RSO's made as backdrops in Outfitting
Solution: Text is added as geometry and clearly visible in the backdrop.
I-48822 77076 Title: Error calculating paint areas
Symptoms: If a surface that has been used as a boundary reference in a planar
panel is missing, the paint calculation will fail if that panel is used as a restriction
for the room.
Known workaround: Make sure all surfaces are available.
Solution: A more robust handling of missing surfaces has been introduced and
the panel that cause the problem can be easily identified.
I-53632 89912 Title: Enhancement request for statement of doubling plate in schema data.
Symptoms: The doubling plate (DOU) in Hull Modelling will always be numbered
in the sequence they are modelled. For all other components it is possible for the
user to control the sequence number (with help of NO or CNO). To not be able to
control the number makes it difficult to keep persistent numbering.
Known workaround: Make sure the doublings always is modelled in the same
order.
Solution: The keyword NO is introduced for the doubling component to be able
to control the doubling number.
I-56172 94358 Title: WCOG problem for bead (FRP).
Symptoms: Beads get no weight.
Solution: Beads are correctly handled and will get a weight.
I-55165 96859, Title: Swage on panel bounded by RSOs.
92262 Symptoms: When referring a boundary to an RSO, the swage is not correctly
presented.
Known workaround: Use the panels as boundaries.
Solution: The issue is corrected so that RSO's can be used as boundaries also
when swage is defined.
96998 Title: Swage not drawn correctly in 3D canvas.
Symptoms: When adding many swages to a planar panel, the 3D presentation of
the swage panel will fail to be drawn.
Solution: The limit of swages has been removed.
I-57571 97214 Title: Curve hull view properties - duplicate texts
Symptoms: Using Symbolic View > Curved Hull View > Properties and switch on
longitudinal., longitudinal name is output for each individual stiffener. Each text is
put twice, slowing down the system.
Solution: Only one text for each shell stiffener is presented.
I-57573 97224 Title: System down with RSO modification window.
Symptoms: When in the RSO Edit form and clicking in the form e.g. on the
Curve tab, the system will eventually abort.
Known workaround: Minimize the number of non-relevant clicks in this window.
Solution: The error is corrected and irrelevant clicks will be ignored.
97358 Title: Functional Description on component not stored correctly
Symptoms: Using the function 'Functional Description' and adding a description
to a planar profile without doing manual recreation of the panel, will lose the just
added functional description.
Known workaround: Add the Functional Description manually in the schema.
Solution: The functional Description will be handled in a correct way.
Number Number

Number Number
I-57910 97511, Title: The stiffeners generated are duplicated when we try to get steel structure
98168 within a space for knuckle RSO.
Symptoms: When more than one cutter is used, it happens that the system
creates more stiffeners than required. This is when the second cutter is used
against the new planar panels.
Solution: Correction made to handle more than one cutter at the same time.
I-57910 98168, Title: Some Panel is overlapped in Temp.block.
97511 Symptoms: When more than one cutter is used, it happens that the system
creates more panels than required. This is when the second cutter is used
against the new planar panels.
Solution: Correction made to handle more than one cutter at the same time.
I-58311, 101309, Title: Space Arrangement World not updated after new SPMSW created
I-54509 90770 Symptoms: Creating a new Space World is not reflected in the drop down list in
the form where to create new spaces.

Segments, SCSEGMENT, are missing the rename function.
Known workaround: Manually edit the datal file to do renaming.
Solution: The rename function has been added to the SCSEGMENT.
Number Number
97010 Title: Transfer set fails to get exported to location other than the default Temp
directory.
Symptoms: when exporting in Design Reuse, the path name of the receiving
catalogue must not contain any dot "." in the name. The result will be that the
exported file is stored in the default temp directory.
Known workaround: Use a catalogue name where no dots are included.
Solution: The dots will also be handled in the path names.
Hull Production:

Number Number
I-27878 58926 Title: No Functional description code or text in 3-axis nesting gen file.
Symptoms: The FUNCTIONAL_DESCR_CODE and
FUNCTIONAL_DESCR_TEXT are missing from 3-axis nesting gen file.
Solution: The keywords and its values are included.
I-44238 69802 Title: MARK_ABUTTING_PP in Ppanparts.ip does not work.
Symptoms: When a cutout is using a RSO reference instead of a planar panel
reference, the MARK_ABUTTING_PP will not add any marking on the
penetrating stiffener.
Known workaround: Use the planar panel reference instead of the RSO
reference.
Solution: The RSO reference will be correctly handled and the marking will be
added to the penetrating stiffener in the same as if the reference was to the
planar panel.
I-51354 84501 Title: All Character does not appear in GUI.(Curved Hull).
Symptoms: In some selection GUI, the fields are too short so that the full text
cannot be read.
Solution: The fields have been extended so that the full text can be read.

I-58261 99273 Symptoms: Creating a jig object using bounding seams, in log file the message
“Cannot find surface reference”, may appear and no object is created.
Known workaround: The reason is that the user is not using a proper name of
the jig to be created and the system cannot find a manufacturing package. If a
correct name is used, there are no problems to create such jigpillars.
Solution: A proper message that there is no proper manufacturing package will
be written in the log file.
I-51862, 85638, Title: Problem to use macro clips
I-56272 94631 Symptoms: If a compiled geometry macro is called and the file size of the called
macro is zero, the system will fail.
Known workaround: Make sure all macros are correct compiled and is of no
zero size.
Solution: Proper message will be displayed and the system will continue.
I-53180 87785 Title: Offset table not generating for Cross Bending Template.
Symptoms: Adjustable templates in Cross Bending Templates are missing.
Solution: The adjustable templates in Cross Bending Templates are
implemented.
Number Number
95166 Title: Default values in the Hull Mark dialog should be the same as in previous
versions.
Symptoms: Hull Mark Type has been default set as Plate 12.1.SP4 when
creating a Hullmark.
Known workaround: Manually change to Cont. Weld.
Solution: The default has been changed to Cont. Weld.
I-56998 96113 Title: Cannot create a Hullmark on stb'd side as continuous weld type
Symptoms: Creating a Hullmark on Starboard side as a continues weld type
fails on symmetrical surfaces. If the surface is defined as a whole surface, there
is no problem. Also this is not a problem if the Hullmark is defined as Plate.
Solution: Hullmarks on Starboard side on symmetrical surfaces will also be
handled correctly.
I-56207 96199, Title: Hole for curved panel is created incorrectly in PLDB
95433 Symptoms: Scenario: Curved Panel with symmetry SB, containing Shell Plates
with symmetry 'PS and SB'. Holes placed in this panel will not be at the correct
location.
Solution: The issue is corrected. The parts needs to be recreated (Curved Part
Generation).
I-57048 96241, Title: Some the sight line of the bending template is created abnormal.
99201 Symptoms: If the LARGESIGHTLINEMARK is defined in bendingtemplate.ip,
some sightlines may be created outside the template as a very long line towards
the centre line.
Solution: Sight lines are corrected.
I-57410 96865 Title: Enhancement request for New PPM (TMPLATE).
Symptoms: Hull PPI will not recognize structures built by TMPLATE's.
Solution: Hull PPI will also handle TMPLATE.
97031 Title: Unable to create/modify hull marks in the 3 axis
Symptoms: Unable to create or modify hull marks by defining X,Y, Z positions in
3D axis when rotation angle is zero. Only 2D axis is taken as valid.
Solution: The position in 3D and rotation is properly handled.
97034 Title: Modifying Hull marks leads to non-exact valves from previously defined
XYZ values
Symptoms: Modifying a Hullmark that was previously defined where the
"Looking towards" filed was set to ANY direction (defined via X Y Z), this field is
not correctly handled. The values that are presented are not the values given by
the original definition.
Solution: The field will be properly handled presenting the valid data.
I-57503, 97076, Title: Ppanarts error on outfitting steel.
I-57933 98281 Symptoms: If an outfitting steel plate has a hole defined by NXTR, the automatic
production part creation will fail with the message: Couldn't add production

PPM.
Symptoms: In Hull PPI when selecting Frameworks using option 2. Within
Volume of and give an asterisk (*) as input, the system will abort.
Solution: The search will also handle the case when asterisk is given.
Number Number
I-57933, 98281, Title: Autopos framework doesn't work.
I-57503 97076 Symptoms: Autopos will not recognize an Outfitting steel model. In the input file,
the graphical selection will be written as the data base reference. This is not
recognized as an object name in the Autopos batch process and the message
that no objects found will be written in the log file.
Known workaround: Manually add the correct name in the input file.
Solution: Correct name will be set in the input file for Autopos when indicating
an Outfitting steel object.
98765 Title: The hole created on the clip is shown outside in the drawings.
Symptoms: Holes added to a clip may very well be added outside the clip
contour. There is no check that the hole is correctly defined inside the clip.
Known workaround: Manually check each clip before sending it to production.
Solution: The system will at creation check that the hole is inside (or at least
intersects) the clip boundaries. If the hole is outside the clip, an error will be set
(6056 No intersection with the hole contour).
I-57048 99201,96 Title: Some the sight line of the bending template is created abnormal.
241 Symptoms: If the LARGESIGHTLINEMARK is defined in bendingtemplate.ip,
some sightlines may be created outside the template as a very long line towards
the centre line.
Solution: Sight lines are corrected.
I-58261, 99273, Title: Seam Base Jig is not working.
I-51598 85363 Symptoms: If a Jig object is defined via seams and there is no proper

stiffener.
Solution: The weld detection will handle the case where the shell stiffener is
twisted.
I-48004 74516 Title: Detect welds brings the system down
Symptoms: An assembly where the base plane is defined by a Curved Panel
where no Jig arrangement has been calculated may lead to a fatal abortion of the
system.
Known workaround: Make Jig arrangement for the Curved Panel.
Solution: The behaviour is changed to also handle Curved Panels where no Jig
arrangements have been defined.
I-49277 78073 Title: Cannot create weld line.
Symptoms: Weld detection on stiffener crossing a block boundary fails.
Solution: The detection is corrected to also handle stiffeners crossing a block
boundary.
I-49365, 78248, Title: Weld line on the joint block was created without taking into account the
I-50302 80279 shape snip.
Symptoms: Weld calculation does not consider a sniped endcut properly of a
flange that ends at a planar panel. The weld will in this case get the full flange
with instead of the sniped length.
Solution: The endcut of the flange is correctly handled.
I-50298, 80264, Title: The weld line between the bracket and knuckled longitudinal is not created.
I-46095 68454 Symptoms: Weld detection may fail for a bracket attached to the end of a twisted
stiffener.
Solution: The weld detection will handle the case where the shell stiffener is
twisted.
91595 Title: Welds not detected around flange within a hole.
Symptoms: Flanges in holes when the planar panel contains more than one hole
are not detected by Weld Detection. If only one hole is available in the panel and
it contains a flange, then the flange is detected.
Solution: The issue is solved so that all the flanges are detectable.
91606 Title: For weld detect on SB side also PS welds are detected.
Symptoms: Panels defined on Port side but only valid on Starboard, the weld
calculation is done on port side.
Known workaround: Define the Starboard panels on starboard side directly.
Solution: The error has been corrected.
91607 Title: Welds not detected on profiles split on plane.
Symptoms: The connection between two planar profiles that has been split by a
plane is not recognized in Weld Detection.
Solution: Weld is now detected also for profiles split with a plane.
91800, Title: Welds not detected between bracket and curve flange.
98364 Symptoms: Weld will not be detected between a bracket and a curved flange.
Number Number
I-56871 95784 Title: Unnecessary welds are created for unconnected parts.
Symptoms: Planar panel limits defined with an offset (CORR) will always be
recognized by the weld detection.
Solution: A default distance of 20 mm is introduced. If a limit has a parallel
displacement more than 20 mm it will not be recognized by the weld detection.
I-56874 95789 Title: Weld line created without regard to plate thickness.
Symptoms: The weld on one of the mould side of a profile web is calculated
correctly but the weld on the material side is calculated in the wrong direction
placing the weld inside the profile.
Solution: The thickness will be taken into consideration.
I-56876 95798 Title: Weld line created on opposite side.
Symptoms: Clips (collar plates) in a symmetrical panel in a cutout for a starboard
specific shell profile will create the weld at port side.
Solution: The weld will be created at the correct location.
I-57504 97081 Title: The butt weld lines for jointed plates were not displayed in 3D view.
Symptoms: Weld lines seem to be missing in 3D view if the weld height is small.
Solution: All weld lines will be displayed.
I-57575 97225 Title: Created weld line for doubling is not correct.
Symptoms: Weld between planar panel and doubling plate on starboard image
of a symmetrical panel is calculated on the wrong side of the planar panel.
Solution: Weld calculation is done on the correct side of the panel.
97575 Title: Welds not detected on Rudder.
Symptoms: Missing welds against the shell. If the planar panel boundary is
defined as a curve, the weld detection fails.
Known workaround: Instead of using a named curve in the planar panel
boundary, the shell can be referred to directly. Weld detection will then find this
connection.
Solution: The boundaries described with a curve will be recognized by the weld
detection.
98135 Title: Extra Weld detected.
Symptoms: For abutting profiles, the ends are not properly detected by Weld
Detection. It could also detect the part of the profile end that should not have any
weld, e.g. the notch in the endcut.

I-43348 67179 Symptoms: When in the Nesting Sketch mode, adding geometry and sub-
pictures, those are not handled properly in the sketch. When toggling between
the Nested Plate and the Nesting Sketch, the sub-picture is not correctly shown in
the sketch.
Known workaround: Nesting sketch can be opened with File - Open drawing,
and then place the sub-picture
Solution: The sub-picture handling in Nesting Sketch has been approved and will
be added in a new layer. This will prevent the sub-picture to be wrongly
displayed.
I-50968 85405 Title: Labeltexts for markings on the other side of the part are not set by
LabelText->PosNo->Automatic.
Symptoms: When making Label text automatically in Nesting, the marking
position numbers on the "other" side of the plate is not distinguished from the
once located on "this" side.

"other" side will get this prefix so they are easy to locate.
Number Number
I-57376 94756, Title: The Excess and the sketch info overlap each other in the nesting Sketch.
96777 Symptoms: If adding excess to plates, the excess and plate information texts will
overlap. Also Burning sequence number is coming out of the symbol.
Known workaround: Move the texts manually after they have been added.
Solution: The text overlap in the sketch has been improved. For the side
information, two new defaults has been introduced, AUTO_SIDE_INFO_DX and
AUTO_SIDE_INFO_DY to move the side information that sometimes clash with
the excess text.
95364 Title: Nesting defaults is not working properly.
Symptoms: In the Nesting Sketch, the position number symbols fir stiffener

Solution: Unicode fonts is supported in bevel notes in Nesting sketches.
96463 Title: Default 'AUTONEST_FORMNAME' takes numeric value when the form is
changed.
Symptoms: When changing the form in the default by interactively selecting the
form from the selection list, the form name shown is the data base reference
number and not the form name.
Known workaround: Manually key in the form name.
Solution: The indicated form name will be inserted as the new default form.
96789 Title: Right click for context menu Labelling texts and symbols are not available.
Symptoms: When Right Click on a labelling text, the label text is not recognized.
Known workaround: The function is available in the Nesting Menu.
Solution: Move label text and label symbol is recognized by the Right Click
function.
96791 Title: After defining Bevel Impossible to recreate message is show in Message
window.
Symptoms: When defining bevels in a plate part and when ready, the message
"Bevel Impossible to recreate" is shown to the user. This happens if direction
marks has been added before the bevels are defined.
Known workaround: Do not add direction marks before defining bevels.
Solution: Error is corrected and direction marks may be present when bevels are
defined.
Number Number
96847 Title: Opening a 3 Axis Nesting leads to error 1002.
Symptoms: Opening a 3 Axis Nesting previously run in Batch will give the error

sketch are correct.
Solution: The error behind the 1002 message has been corrected. The nesting is
not affected by either the described error or the fix.
I-57494 97063 Title: Default keyword DISPLAY_EXCESS_SYMBOL didn't work.
Symptoms: The default setting DISPLAY_EXCESS_SYMBOL has no effect for
automatic placed excess information (AUTO_EXCESS_INFO). The excess
symbols are always displayed also when DISPLAY_EXCESS_SYMBOL is set to
NO.
Known workaround: Remove unwanted excess symbols manually.
Solution: The symbols will not be displayed if DISPLAY_EXCESS_SYMBOL is
set to NO.
97075 Title: The Position number of plates is not getting displayed.
Symptoms: After verification of a Nesting, the function "LabellingSymbol ->
Position Number" will not show the position number of the part.
Solution: The error is corrected. New verification must be performed.
97344 Title: Invalid Bridge and start point created in nesting automatic start.
Symptoms: In a nesting (the nesting view), if a dimension is added and then
automatic starts are added, the system will fail to verify the path.
Known workaround: Remove all starts and the dimension and redo the
automatic start sequence.
Solution: Dimensions will be handled properly also when automatic starts are
added.
I-57639, 97388, Title: Problem when inserting sub-pic to Nesting sketch
I-39616 67178 Symptoms: When in the Nesting Sketch mode, adding geometry and sub-
pictures, those are not handled properly in the sketch. When toggling between
the Nested Plate and the Nesting Sketch, the sub-picture is not correctly shown in
the sketch.
Known workaround: Nesting sketch can be opened with File - Open drawing,
and then place the sub-picture
Solution: The sub-picture handling in Nesting Sketch has been approved and will
be added in a new layer. This will prevent the sub-picture to be wrongly
displayed.

I-58359 99612 Title: Thickness of parent plate part difference
.Symptoms: When creating a parts menu in Nesting where the default
THICK_CHECK is set to 2 (if thickness is different, operator will be asked for
action), the THICK_CHECK has no affect if the search criteria is via Plate Part
Name.
Known workaround: Create parts menu in other ways e.g. using blocks as
search criteria.
Solution: Also Plate Part Name criteria will be checked if THICK_CHECK is set
to 2.
I-58595 100912 Title: Different thickness search on parts menu.
Symptoms: If a new nesting is created, for example with 7 mm, the system
search only 7 mm parts and bring to parts menu. ıf also 8 mm parts are required
in the parts menu, it is not possible.
Known workaround: Manually search for parts to be included in the nesting.
Solution:
The Nesting default parameters THICK_DIFF_MIN and THICK_DIFF_MAX can
be used to select parts in a thickness interval. If THICK_DIFF_MIN = 0.0 and
THICK_DIFF_MAX = 1.0, all parts with thicknesses between e.g. 7 and 8 mm will
be selected.
In the parts menu it is now possible to add selections from different thicknesses.
The check box for "Keep existing parts in the menu" must be checked. In that
case, only parts with the given thickness are extracted.
I-58612 100913 Title: Position numbers are going to left bottom corner of nesting sketch.

I-43278 67003 Title: Text Height defaults not used immediately
Symptoms: When setting TEXT_STD_HEIGHT, from the default form within
HullDesign, the change is not seen when adding a new dimension within
modelling.
Known workaround: Change the default, save the default fine and then restart
the system.
Solution: A new Drafting default keyword TEXT_HEIGHT has been introduced
for the modal text height. The system default value is the value of the keyword
TEXT_STD_HEIGHT. (I.e. when loading a default file, and the keyword
TEXT_HEIGHT is missing then the value of the TEXT_STD_HEIGHT is used
for modal text height).
I-37398 69346 Title: Panel Intersect Function - Symbol placement error
