SECTION 1

Introduction
The CADWorx Datasheets module is a customizable utility for the generation of instrument and
equipment datasheets. The module can be used standalone or in conjunction with external
databases, such as those linked to CADWorx P&ID Professional projects, to provide bidirectional links for instrumentation and equipment tables. The datasheets are generated using
industry standard (ISO) datasheet templates in Excel formats. The datasheet formats are easily
customizable to suit your specific project requirements.
The documentation delivered with Welcome to CADWorx Datasheets provides complete
information for using the software.

Instrument Index Projects


Each time you open CADWorx Instrument Datasheets, the software prompts you to create a
new project or open an existing one. A project consists of a set of datasheets.
When you specify that you want to create a new project, the software automatically prompts you
to define information specific to the project using the Project Information dialog box. Defining
all of this information is optional. However, any data that you do enter is used to automatically
populate the report title and datasheet title blocks. The examples below illustrate the relationship
between some of the definitions on the Project Information dialog box and the report title block.

CADWorx Datasheets User's Guide

CADWorx Instrument Datasheets

Copy and paste table data


You can copy and paste all cells of data to another row. The only exception is any cell that
requires you to enter data using a drop-down list. In these instances, you must assign values to
the cell manually.
Using the familiar shortcut keys to copy and paste works only for text in a cell. You cannot copy
or paste an entire row of information using these shortcut keys. However, the software stores
into memory the last section of text that you identified to copy, which allows you to continue
using Ctrl+V to paste the stored text until you use Ctrl+C to make another text selection. This is
the case even if you copy a row using another copy method.
1. Right-click the row of tag data you want to copy, and select Copy.
2. Right-click the destination row, and select Paste.
You cannot use Ctrl+C to copy a reference document from one record to another.
If you attempt to copy using this method, the document number appears as **DELETED**. To
undo changes, you must press Esc.

Control the display of table columns


You can rearrange columns to better suit your preference. For example, as you enter records
into the instrument index table, you can move the Tag column to ensure that the data entered
into a cell is associated with the correct tag. You can also collapse columns so that their data is
not visible. Finally, you can sort column data in ascending or descending order.

Rearrange table columns


1. Click the column heading of the column you want to move and then drag the column to the
new location.
The software displays an outline of the column as you drag the mouse.
2. Release the mouse button to drop the column in its new location.

Collapse a table column

Right-click the column header of the column you want to collapse.


To restore the column width, right-click the collapsed column.
The software collapses the selected column. The example below shows the Tag column at
its normal width (1) and after it has been collapsed (2).

CADWorx Datasheets User's Guide

18

CADWorx Instrument Datasheets


Sort column data

Click once in the column heading of the column that you want to sort.
The software rearranges the associated data in the remaining columns.

You can sort by any column except Datasheet, PID, Loop Dwg, Requisition, Purchase
Order, and Remarks.

Delete a record

Export instrument tags to a CADWorx P&ID database

Click Export on the CADWorx Instrument Datasheets dialog box.


The software exports the instrument tag data to the database defined by Default P&ID
Database in the Project Information dialog box.

The table and columns that the software updates are controlled by the P&ID database
map sheet located in each database template. An example map sheet is shown below.

The DB_Table column indicates the CADWorx P&ID table that needs to be updated. For
instrument datasheets, this table must always be Components-Instruments. DB_Column
indicates the column to be updated. The next three columns, Worksheet, Column, and Row,
show the datasheet and cell that are tied to the particular database table and column.

Tag Datasheets
CADWorx delivers over 60 intelligent instrument datasheets. To view the datasheet in the index
for the selected instrument tag, click Documents > Tag's Datasheet. Alternatively, you can
click Datasheet on the CADWorx Instrument Datasheets dialog box.

Data Entry
The datasheet templates provided by the software are designed for user efficiency. Although the
mouse can be used to select an individual cell, you must enter all data using the keyboard.
Check boxes, too, must be selected/cleared using the keyboard. To select a check box, type a
letter, typically the letter X, in the cell over which the check box is superimposed.
In most cases, you can select only one check box. If you select a check box and then select a
different one, the previous check box returns to its cleared state. Also, when you type text in
cells labeled as Other, any previously selected check box is automatically cleared. There are
exceptions to this rule. In instances where the data entered for Other provides additional
information related to the selected check box, both values are allowed on the datasheet. This is
typically the case when specifying frequently used options such as Square Edged.

Saving Changes
To save changes to the datasheet, click Save
on the datasheet toolbar. By default, the
datasheet is saved to the [Product Folder]\Instruments\Datasheets folder. You can change this
default setting by editing Default Datasheet on the Project Information dialog box. For more
information, see Instrument Index Projects (on page 12).

Data Synchronization
Data in the datasheet and the index is synchronized. If you change any cell of data in the
datasheet that is linked to the index and save the change, the data is automatically updated in
the index. Also, any changes made to the data in the index are reflected in the linked datasheet.

Datasheet Type Assignment
Any time you attempt to view the datasheet for a specified instrument and Datasheet Path in
the instrument index table grid is not defined, the software immediately prompts you to assign a
datasheet type by opening the Select Datasheet Type dialog box.

Saving a Datasheet as a File


When you attempt to view the datasheet for a specified instrument tag and Datasheet File
Name in the instrument index table is not defined, the software immediately prompts you to
specify a file name. When you save the datasheet, the default behavior of the software is to use
the instrument tag number as the file name. If you use this file naming convention, be aware that
the software does not automatically update the file name to reflect any subsequent changes you
may make the tag number. Consequently, you must change the file name manually to match
that of the updated tag number.

You must define a value for EquipNo. All other properties are optional.

You cannot update the equipment number and a document number that appears in the PID,
Loop Dwg, Requisition, Purchase Order, or Datasheet cells simultaneously. You must
first modify the tag, save it, and then modify the document number.

When creating an equipment number, you cannot associate a document number to it. You
must first create the equipment number, save it, and then associate the document to it.

The Datasheet, PID, PFD, Requisition, and Purchase Order cells contain lists that display
reference documents. Only those reference documents that have been added to the All
Documents table appear in these lists. For more information, see Reference Documents (on
page 44).

Copy and paste table data


You can copy and paste all cells of data to another row. The only exception is any cell that
requires you to enter data using a drop-down list. In these instances, you must assign values to
the cell manually.
Using the familiar shortcut keys to copy and paste works only for text in a cell. You cannot copy
or paste an entire row of information using these shortcut keys. However, the software stores
into memory the last section of text that you identified to copy, which allows you to continue
using Ctrl+V to paste the stored text until you use Ctrl+C to make another text selection. This is
the case even if you copy a row using another copy method.
1. Right-click the row of tag data you want to copy, and select Copy.
2. Right-click the destination row, and select Paste.
You cannot use Ctrl+C to copy a reference document from one record to another.
If you attempt to copy using this method, the document number appears as **DELETED**. To
undo changes, you must press Esc.

Control the display of table columns


You can rearrange columns to better suit your preference. For example, as you enter equipment
numbers into the equipment list table, you can move the EquipNo column to ensure that the
data entered into a cell is associated with the correct equipment number. You can also collapse
columns so that their data is not visible. Finally, you can sort column data in ascending or
descending order.

Rearrange table columns


1. Click the column heading of the column you want to move and then drag the column to the
new location.
The software displays an outline of the column as you drag the mouse.
2. Release the mouse button to drop the column in its new location.

You can sort by any column except Datasheet, PID, Loop Dwg, Requisition, Purchase
Order, and Remarks.

Delete a record
1. In the table grid, select the row that contains the record that you want to remove.
2. Click Delete.
3. Click Yes in the confirmation box.
The software removes the record from the active project database.

Export equipment numbers to a CADWorx P&ID database

Click Export on the CADWorx Equipment Datasheets dialog box.


The software exports the equipment list data to the database defined by Default P&ID
Database in the Project Information dialog box.

The table and columns that the software updates are controlled by the P&ID database
map sheet located in each database template. An example map sheet is shown below.

The DB_Table column indicates the CADWorx P&ID table that needs to be updated. For
equipment datasheets, this table must always be Components-Mechanical. Next, DB_Column
indicates the column to be updated. The next three columns, Worksheet, Column, and Row,
show the datasheet and cell that are tied to the particular database table and column.

Equipment Datasheets
CADWorx delivers over 20 intelligent equipment datasheets. To view the datasheet for the
selected equipment number in the equipment list, click Documents > <Equipment Number>
Documents > Datasheet. Alternatively, you can click Datasheet at the bottom of the CADWorx
Equipment Datasheets dialog box.

Data Entry
The datasheet templates provided by the software are designed for efficiency. Although the
mouse can be used to select an individual cell, you must enter all data using the keyboard.
Check boxes, too, must be selected/cleared using the keyboard. To select a check box, type a
letter, typically the letter X, in the cell over which the check box is superimposed.
In most cases, you can select only one check box. If you select a check box and then select a
different one, the previous check box returns to its cleared state. Also, when you type text in
cells labeled as Other, any previously selected check box is automatically cleared. There are
exceptions to this rule. In instances where the data entered for Other provides additional
information related to the selected check box, both values are allowed on the datasheet.

Saving Changes
To save changes to the datasheet, click Save
on the datasheet toolbar. By default the
datasheet is saved to the [Product Folder]\Equipment\Datasheets folder. You can change this
default setting by editing Default Datasheet on the Project Information dialog box. For more
information, see Equipment List Projects (on page 32).

Data Synchronization
Data in the datasheet and the equipment list is synchronized. If you change any cell of data in
the datasheet that is linked to the list, the equipment list is updated automatically when you save
the change. Also, any changes made to the data in the equipment list are reflected in the linked
datasheet.

Datasheet Type Assignment
Any time you attempt to view the datasheet for a specific equipment number and Datasheet
Path in the equipment list table is not defined, the software immediately prompts you to assign a
datasheet type by opening the Select Datasheet Type dialog box.

Saving a Datasheet as a File


When you attempt to view the datasheet for a specified equipment number and Datasheet File
Name in the equipment list table grid is in not defined, the software immediately prompts you to
specify a file name. When you save the datasheet, the default behavior of the software is to use
the equipment number as the filename. If you use this file naming convention, be aware that the
software does not automatically update the filename to reflect any subsequent changes you may
make the equipment number. Consequently, you must change the filename manually to match
that of the updated equipment number.

SECTION 4

Customize the Software


Customization allows you to modify and enhance the software to meet your specific needs. For
example, you can make any necessary format changes to the datasheet templates and still
retain the integrity of the software.
Changing the cell address for the input cells can compromise the mapping of the
index information to the input cells.
Change instrument index / equipment list table column headings
Column headings that appear in the index table or equipment list grid can be changed using
the FormColumnNames table in the Index.mdb file. In the grid, select Refresh to update the
display of the column headings.
The instrument Index.mdb file is delivered to the [Product Folder]\CADWorx
Datasheets\Instrument folder during installation of the software; the equipment Index.mdb file is
delivered to the [Product Folder]\CADWorx Datasheets\Equipment folder
Un-protect datasheets
All datasheet controls are protected. The password is blank. If you need to move any of the
datasheet controls, such as the shapes for checkboxes, or change out the company logo,
ensure that you re-protect the datasheets afterwards so that the controls cannot be
inadvertently moved or deleted.
Create an Index / Equipment List report
The Instrument Index and Equipment List reports delivered with the software are written
using Crystal Reports. Optionally, you can write an index or equipment list report in the
Index.mdb file, presuming you have a full version of Microsoft Access installed on the local
computer. Any reports written in Access must be run outside of CADWorx Datasheets.
Add a new datasheet template
To accommodate the addition of new template, the following three tables in the Index.mdb
file need to be modified: DatasheetType, DtShtFieldName, and DtShtWorksheets.

In the DatasheetType table, add the new datasheet entry (template). Do not enter the
Field list in this table. The Field list is propagated into this table after you have added it
to the DtShtWorksheet table.

In the DtShtWorksheet table, add the Field list. Use the existing template entry as an
example.

Save and exit the Index.mdb file.

A copy of each new template must be placed in the Templates folder and must have a
unique custom property value. You can type custom property on the Custom tab of the
