This document details the technical changes and revisions included in CADWorx 2015, (Version 15.00.00.0067). CADWorx Plant Apply Change Data Rule Updates You can turn updates on or off for Layer/color in the Apply Change Data Rule. You can change the updates in the Pipe Rules section of the CADWorx Plant Setup. Benefit: The ability to control how you affect the layer and color of your model when using the CONVERTFROMPRJDATA command. This option improves design modeling, allowing for more project control of your layers. Male and Female Threaded Needle Valves You can create threaded needle valves with male threaded by female threaded ends. Benefit: The ability to model mixed end valves including male by female threaded needle valves, improves design modeling by allowing you to use standard mixed end valves in CADWorx and ISOGEN. Routing Mitered Elbows You can route mitered elbows using the Miter Elbow Buttweld elbow type or from the component List. Make sure your specification has a Mitered elbow, click Route, and then select elbow type on the command line to receive the Mitered Elbow Buttweld option. Benefit: Adding mitered elbows to the routing capabilities of CADWorx, adds to the efficiency of designing piping runs when the designer requires mitered elbows. Cross or Tee with Reducer You can now insert a cross and a tee with reducers. The software bases the size of the component on the connected branch of the other component. Use the Branch tab to set the Straight Tee/Cross + Reducer option. Then, set the Apply Branch Table Rule to Automatic for CADWorx to check the branch table and provide the Cross + Reducer and Tee + Reducer options. Benefit: The ability to automatically add a reducing component to a tee or cross, decreases the time needed to create a reducing branch connection from a straight tee or cross. Skewed Piping You can create skewed piping and set a maximum angle for the skew with the Apply Skew Pipe Maximum Angle rule. Set the Apply Skew Pipe Maximum Angle rule in the Piping Rules of the CADWorx Plant Setup. The setting you set here determines the maximum angle allowed when drawing a skewed pipe. Click Route, and then select skew on the command line to draw a skewed pipe. Benefit: With this new setting, you can control the skewed pipe angle to prevent unrealistic angles in the pipeline design. This helps to keep consistent design standards during the model development. ISOGEN Configuration Panel You can now use the ISOGEN Configuration Panel in I-Configure. Benefit: ISOGEN created the ISOGEN Control Panel to make it easier to define details of an isometric drawing. CADWorx now uses the latest ISOGEN to improve efficiency and design modeling. 15.00.00 1
Override Custom Data You can type a value in Default Value of the Custom Data tab in the CADWorx Spec View palette to override the custom data from the Specification Editor. If you set up custom data with the List option, you can select an item from the Default Value to apply it as an override. Benefit: The ability to override custom data gives the designer more control of the drawing data. If the custom data included in the specification is not what the designer needs, he now has the ability to change that custom data which improves project control, catalog control, and design modeling. Select List of Custom Data You can select from a list of items when editing custom data in the Component Custom Data dialog box accessed in the Component Edit dialog box. You can also do the same in the Custom Data dialog box accessed in the Global CEdit dialog box. To accomplish this, you must create custom data using the new List option available in the Specification Editor. Benefit: The ability to create custom lists allows the administrator and designer more control over the selection of custom data in the model. The administrator can provide a list of items for the designer to choose from in the drawing or specify them directly in the specification. This improves efficiency in project control, catalog control, and design modeling when using custom data. Short Description for Material List When setting up a user defined material list in the ISOGEN Configuration panel, you can now use the attribute name -80 to display the short description column with text wrapping when running ISOGEN Out. To set the -80 attribute, open I-Configure, select an isometric style, click Edit, click Material Drawing List, and then set create or set the -80 Attribute in User Defined Columns. Benefit: ISOGEN created the ISOGEN Control Panel to make it easier to define details of an isometric drawing. Using this latest ISOGEN allows for better model deliverables and an easier setting up of extensive short descriptions that display in the material list for isometric drawings. Now, it is as simple as making a template with short description, and then assigning the -80 attribute in the ISOGEN Control Panel. Curved Piping ISOGEN You can generate isometric drawings for curved piping by setting the Threshold in ISOGEN Configuration to greater than 0. Generate these drawings by creating an adjustable bend, setting the ISOGEN Data dialog box SKEY to PB** (** designates a valid ISOGEN end type), and then running ISOGEN Out or ISOGEN Batch. Benefit: The ability to properly ISOGEN curved piping around a vessel or tank. This option improves design modeling when you use the BENT command for an adjustable bend. SYSVIS Updates for Taps You can turn visibility of TAPs on or off in the system layer with the SYSVIS command. Benefit: The ability to control when taps display in the drawing. This allows for improved design modeling and better control of the system layer by allowing you to turn taps on and off for cleaner deliverables. Swage End Type Descriptions The software allows descriptions of end types for swages. Set the PipeDescriptionCat variable to 1, 2, 5, or 6 for swage end types to display on the long description. Benefit: The ability to show the end type of a swage in the long description improves design modeling, allowing you to display more data information for CADWorx components. 15.00.00 2
Change Size Updates for Tees You have more options when you use CHANGESIZE to change the size of a tee. Benefit: The ability to change size has always been an important tool for a designer. CADWorx improved upon this feature to provide more options when changing the size of a tee, so that you have the ability to change sizes of tees in any scenario improving design modeling. O-Lets on Tangents You can insert O-Lets on the tangent of a bend or an elbow. Benefit: Allowing branch components to be placed anywhere on another component gives the designer the freedom needed to complete the required pipeline designs. Moving Components You can move and connect Socket and Threaded components to straight buttweld components. The software automatically deletes all extra welds. Benefit: The ability to move different end type components and connect them is an import part of design modeling. To improve on this feature, CADWorx implemented moving socket or threaded components and attaching them to straight buttweld components. Copy Nozzle Generic Attach You can now copy the nozzle generic attachments with the applied xdata. Benefit: The ability to copy components with data included improves efficiency when modeling. This now allows you to place more than one same type generic nozzles as needed without having to reenter the data. Custom Data in MSSQL Database The software now includes the custom data fields in the MSSQL database. Benefit: The ability to insert custom data in a model is an important feature of design. The database, including that data, is just as vitally important for model management. To improve design time, CADWorx implemented including the custom data in the MSSQL database. Deletion of Steel Components in Database You can remove all component data from a database with SDBAUDIT. Benefit: The ability to have a clean database in a quick turnaround is important to model management and design. Improving design time, CADWorx supports deletion of all components from the database that you have removed from the model when you run SDBAUDIT. Repeatability Return in Isogen Configuration Panel You can now enable the Repeatability return report in the I-Configure ISOGEN Configuration Panel. This feature was controlled by the RepeatFile option in the previous version of I-Configure. Enabling the repeatability report defines start and split locations for consecutive ISOGEN outputs. Set the ISOGENSetting variable to control the import of the repeat file data. The number of sheets then adds to the ISOGEN Data dialog box. Benefit: ISOGEN created the ISOGEN Control Panel to make it easier to define details of an isometric drawing. In implementing this feature, CADWorx made sure to rework existing features such as the RepeatFile option being moved to the Repeatability return report section. CAESAR II 2014 Compatibility You can now use CAESAR II 2014 when exporting a CADWorx model to CAESAR II. Set the version of CAESAR II in the CAESARIIVersion variable. Benefit: The ability to run in the latest version of each software allows different groups to collaborate efficiently with the latest technology. CADWorx supports CAESAR II 2014. The default of the CAESARIIVersion variable is automatically set to 2014. 15.00.00 3
Specification Editor Bolt Part Numbering You can add bolt length tables and bolt diameter tables to the Size Tables folder using the options Add Bolt Diameter Table and Add Bolt Length Table. To set the part numbering in the Specification, select the bolt length and bolt diameter tables in the Specification Properties. Benefit: The ability to better track bolt lengths and bolt diameters improves catalog control and design modeling. CADWorx supports a part number for each bolt length and each bolt diameter. End Prep Part Numbering You can add end prep tables to the Miscellaneous folder with End Prep Table on the Add Table panel. To set the part numbering for end prep, select the end prep table in the Specification Properties. Benefit: The ability to better track end prep part numbers improves catalog control and design modeling. CADWorx supports creation of end prep tables to control the end prep part numbers displayed on components in CADWorx. ISOGEN Symbol End Types You can select the ISOGEN symbol for end types in the New and Edit Component Pane. Benefit: Adding ISOGEN SKEYS for each endtype gives greater flexibility and control of the Isometric deliverables. Added New Schemas in Descriptions You can use the index code table fields, the OD_RED_SIZ_TBL, and the DESCRIPTION_CMP_TBL schemas in your long, short, tag, and part number description formats. Benefit: The ability to have different schemas for all descriptions allows designers to detail specific information in the data of the components. To improve project control and design modeling, CADWorx supports new schemas in the description format dialog boxes. Select List for Custom Data You can create a pull-down list of items for custom data. Benefit: The ability to create custom lists allows the administrator and designer more control over the selection of custom data in the model. The administrator can provide a list of items for the designer to choose from in the drawing, or specify them directly in the specification. This improves efficiency in project control, catalog control, and design modeling when using custom data. Multiple Rating and Classes You can add Component Class, Temperature Rating, and Pressure Ratings for Start, End, Branch 1, and Branch 2 end points for components. Benefit: In designing, an engineer needs relief valves to have multiple pressures and ratings. CADWorx implemented this feature in 2015 to improve design modeling when pressures and ratings are needed for each end type. AutoCAD Plant 3D Import Improvements Improved the import of the AutoCAD Plant 3D specifications and catalogs. Benefit: The ability to import AutoCAD Plant 3D specifications and catalogs allows you to take your AutoCAD data and use it in CADWorx.
