To Install product release:
Please double-click the installer (file Plant12.1.SP4.10.exe) and follow the instructions. De-
installation of the fix release is possible via the Windows Add or Remove programs facility.



Please note that there is a combined installer for PDMS and the associated products listed above.
This can be configured by using the check boxes to install a selection of products. Control Panel >
Add or Remove Programs may subsequently be used to add additional ones or remove them.
Installations using setup.exe will by default install to C:\. The individual .msi files will by default use
the drive with most free space. More details are given in the user bulletin.

If you require sample PDMS projects, please ensure that you check the PDMS models tick-box.

The Global tick-box installs the necessary support for the use of PDMS or other Plant products
with Global. There is a separate installer for Global server, which is usually installed on a separate
machine, such as a server, which does not necessarily have PDMS installed.

It is important that any files, including configuration files or sample data, that need to be updated
by users are accessible for read, write etc. so it is strongly recommended that they are not
installed with the software. This is particularly important when installing in Program Files at
Windows 7 due to the introduction of User Account Control (UAC) which brings new security
restrictions. In particular, this makes it important to ensure that files that need to be written are
accessible by users without Administrator privileges. This applies to folders specified by
environment variables such as PDMSWK and PDMSUSER. The Plant Suite installer has been
revised to allow the separate definition of suitable folders, with different defaults.

NOTES:
Installation in folders with spaces in their pathnames is not recommended as noted in the
Installation Guide. The use of such names for project folders is not currently supported as
Global and certain functions such as the project MAKE program do not yet handle them.
By default Global is not installed in the same folder as PDMS; however it is possible to modify
the installations to use the same folder. This is not recommended and will cause problems
with Global 12.1.SP4 onwards, as that uses different versions of some DLLs. In addition, if
one product is uninstalled, the other product installation will require repair if they are in the
same folder.
Optional upgrades to existing projects are required for some new features. Please refer to the
user bulletin section 2.8 Upgrading from earlier releases. Please note however that the correct
syntax for applying the latest optional upgrade is DBUP PROJECT TO LATEST OPTIONAL.
First released on:
This product release is first available on AVEVA support website http://support.aveva.com as
AVEVA PDMS 12.1.SP4.10, release number 52257.



List of Enhancements
This release includes the following functional enhancements:

In this release

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.
A new option has been added to the SHEE element of a drawing template as described below.

Consolidated from previous fix releases:

12.1.SP4.8
Description
New option added for Pipe Fabrication

A new option has been added to the SHEE element of a drawing template as described below.



The value of FUNC can have two options.
FUNC SAME-SCALE;FOUR_VIEWS_OFF

NOTE.) The ordering is important to use the option.

The option is separated by ; (semi-colon)

1. SAME-SCALE :
This option is used to make same scale views.

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 be
applied as default.



The view size and location is calculated using existing views.

But, if the spool is not located in one place, this option is set to FOUR_VIEWS_ON automatically.





12.1.SP4.5
Description
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.



12.1.SP4.1:
Description
Compare Update

In Compare/Update the setting to Use advanced configuration has been moved from the Options
dialogue to a new screen in the Configurations Wizard. This means that end users no longer see this
option and it is controlled by the administrator to ensure consistent use on the project.

If advanced rules are required for this particular configuration, select a Project Configuration File (this
will usually be the default filename for the project, e.g. for Sample project this would be
%SAMDFLTS%\ModelManagement\ProjectConfiguration.xml). Then select a Rule Set and check Use
Advanced Rules.
Check Restrict the Configuration to Admin Users only if you want to test this configuration before
publishing it for general use on the project.



Description
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 MDBs
User definable content databases such as MDS/APPDEFAULTS and template databases do not
need to be re-associated.

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.

114282 Title: Export DWG
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.

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.

Known workaround: Edit Diagrams.uic file
Solution: The menu has been changed as follows:
1. "Set as CE" has been renamed to "Navigate To"
2. Following commands has been removed:
- "Attributes"
- "Rename"
- "Delete"
- "Cut"
3. "Copy" and "Paste" commands have been modified and now they are

Symptoms: The value of the reference attributes is the same or nulref after

Known workaround: Update the reference attribute value manually
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.

option to print with the Page Setup parameters defined for each diagrams.
When we use Batch job to print PDF files, we must manually enter the name of
each PDF file. It would be better if batch print automatically create PDF files with the
name of scdiag for example, or with the value of a predefined scdiag attribute.
Solution: Batch Job has been updated with a new export functionality, which will
generate PDF files named as the diagram.

Title: Reconfiguring a System database
loses its Upgrade number

Symptoms: After Reconfiguration, Q
UPGRADE STATUS {SYSTEM|GLOBAL}
reports that an Upgrade is required, even
though the system database had previously
been upgraded. Note that the database will
not actually have been 'down-graded' by the
Reconfiguration, it is just the Upgrade
number which has been lost.

Reconfiguration the System
database will have lost its upgrade
status . This can be re-applied using
DBUPgrade {SYSTEM|GLOBAL} TO
LATEST

Solution: Fixed in 12.1.SP5 and
Admin 2.1 the upgrade number is
re-applied.

I-57562 97192 Pipe Fabrication, an issue has been identified
when creating Spool Drawing if the Pipeline
contains Multi-Discipline Supports (MDS).
The Part Numbers and Spool lengths are
calculated incorrectly. It is recommended that
Spool drawings containing MDS supports are
not produced using Pipe Fabrication.
Produce Pipe Fabrication Spool
Drawing Prior to adding Supports.
#97693 AVEVA SQL Direct 12.0.SP6: PDMS Server
stopped with a message when creating a new
table schema file in the Table Designer
window. This is because some Pipe Spooling
related pseudo attributes initialise PML
components that in turn import some
PML.NET.
For details, please refer to the SQL Direct
12.0.SP6 product release latest update letter -

Answer No instead of Yes to the
Create Project Schema? question
and instead select the sample
project schema file
(ProjectSchema.dat) in the
Samples folder.
SI-57888 Pipe Fabrication application: an issue for
certain pipes, for example Pipe
/1MZ_FWD0002 in Zone 1MZ_PIPE owned
by :AREA 1M_PIPE in MAR project.
Using the Component Reselection form,
changing the elbow to a bend, closing the
form and then re-opening it may cause the
application to stop responding.
[It is likely to be a problem with pipes that
contain a PSLIST.]
Delete the spool information from
the pipe using the Fabrication
Check form, do a savework then
getwork.

#97951 Splash screen is no longer displayed when
the user logs into Design (or some other
modules) using the shortcut. The splash
screen normally displays information such as
"Loading Applications..." as this is no longer
visible, the user has no indication of progress,
until the main application is displayed on the
screen.
