================================================================================
===
A. Steps to perform on the machine where SQL Server is running:
================================================================================
===
1. Using the Microsoft SQL Enterprise Manger, create a new
Database Device to store the data if required.
For Example: Project1
2. Create a new Database to be stored on the device you
created. For convince you can name the database the
same as the device.
For Example: Project1
3. Grant all logins (users) access to these new databases.
================================================================================
===
B. Steps to perform on all client machines:
================================================================================
===
1. Start the Data Sources (ODBC) from the Control Panel to setup
the SQL Server ODBC Driver.
2. Hit the Add button, and select "SQL Server".
3. In the ODBC SQL Server Setup dialog, type in the following:
For CADWorx Plant the
Data Source Name: Plant_SQL_SERVER
Server: (select the SQL Server you are using)
The Data Source Name has to be Plant_SQL_SERVER.

For CADWorx Steel the
Data Source Name: Steel_SQL_SERVER
Server: (select the SQL Server you are using)
The Data Source Name has to be Steel_SQL_SERVER.
For CADWorx P&ID the
Data Source Name: P&ID_SQL_SERVER
Server: (select the SQL Server you are using)
The Data Source Name has to be P&ID_SQL_SERVER.

For CADWorx IP the
Data Source Name: IP_SQL_SERVER
Server: (select the SQL Server you are using)
The Data Source Name has to be IP_SQL_SERVER.
================================================================================
===
C. Creating the CADWorx P&ID tables:
================================================================================
===
1. CADWorx P&ID has a New Project function which will create
the tables in the Database specified. When a new project
is created, a dialog will ask for the Database Name.
For Example: Project1.
2. The Database name is saved in the Project.cfg which is
located in the project directory. Thus, when an AutoCAD
Drawing is opened in this directory it will use the same
Database Name.
================================================================================
===
D. Creating the CADWorx Plant and Steel tables
================================================================================
===
1. CADWorx Plant and Steel tables can be created using the Live Database dial
og.

================================================================================
===
E. How to view the SQL Server Table using Microsoft Access:
================================================================================
===
1. Start Access and Create a New Database Using "Blank Database".
2. Select the Create button
3. Select the "Tables" tab at the top left, and than hit
the "New" Button.
4. Select "Link Table" in the "New Table" dialog box
5. In the "Link" dialog, go the "Files of Type" box at the

6. In the "Select Data Source" dialog box select the
"Machine Data Source" tab and than select "P&ID_SQL_SERVER"
7. In the "SQL Server Login" dialog, enter your user
name and password.
8. In the "Link Tables" dialog select all the tables that
start with "PID_". For example: dbo.PID_Components_Instruemnts.
There are a total of eleven CADWorx P&ID tables and upto
ten CADWorx P&ID user tables.
9. In the "Select Unique Record Identifier" dialog box, select
ID_COUNT_ for all tables.
