Equipment Program Support

CADWorx Equipment has been developed by designers and engineers, for designers and engineers. The design of CADWorx Equipment targeted ease of use, wide applicability, transfer links to pressure vessel analysis, and overcoming the limitations of other piping CAD packages. CADWorx Equipment currently provides 3D models. With other software, such as NavisWorks, real-time walkthroughs and near photo quality shaded presentations can be generated.

CADWorx Equipment adds the ability to quickly and easily create AutoCAD-based 3D models of equipment -- horizontal or vertical, single or multi-state vessels, heat exchangers and pumps. CADWorx Equipment works on a hierarchal basis. The process begins by identifying the equipment’s component parts, such as a vessel's heads, shells, nozzles and supports, via icons selected from the toolbar. Entering required dimensional data in the property editor instantly, parametrically updates the model. Equipment components, or details on the components, can be "cut and pasted" for easy modeling and modification of equipment. Selection lists containing flange ratings, flange facings, motor frames and more are available from the program's property editor.

During the development of CADWorx Equipment, the comments and suggestions of many senior pipe designers were incorporated to provide a wide range of capabilities. CADWorx Equipment provides the most efficient tool available today for generating equipment models. This user manual provides an explanation of all of the functions and routines of CADWorx Equipment.

Comments and suggestions from the user community are always welcome. If the user has suggestions about CADWorx Equipment, or has a “better idea”, we welcome them to contact COADE technical support.

COADE understands the designers need to produce efficient, economical and expeditious designs and drawings. To that end, COADE has a staff of helpful professionals ready to address any CADWorx Equipment issues raised by the users. CADWorx Equipment support is available by email and the internet; literally hundreds of support questions are answered each week. It is expected, however, that the questions focus on the current version of the program.

Chapter 1 Installation 11

Installation Overview

CADWorx Equipment is installed on the system hard drive using the installation program called SETUP.EXE located on the CD ROM. This installation program has been designed to allow full installation and ease of updating. This section will explain the operation of the installation program, the format of CADWorx Equipment program on the CD ROM, and the options available to the user.

The installation process is relatively simple to accomplish. After starting the installation program the user will be prompted for the required information. If the computer that the installation is being performed has auto run enabled, the setup procedure will automatically start.

The CD ROM contains various files, all of which are compressed into files that the installation can read. The only way to extract these files out is to run the installation program (SETUP.EXE).

Installation Start

Quick Start

Run the SETUP.EXE.

To start CADWorx Equipment, pick the icon created during installation.

Dialogs will carry the user through the rest of the installation.

First time execution of the program will require certain startup parameters to be set. Most of the time, the defaults will be sufficient.

Procedure

The installation is similar to most other Windows installations. The following information will be required:

� What drive will be used?

� Which version of AutoCAD will CADWorx Equipment use?

� What directory will CADWorx Equipment be installed in?

� The name of the Windows program group.

� The type of the hardware lock

Once these items are known, the installation process can be started. The installation process is detailed in the steps below:

1. Insert the CD ROM in the drive.


2. Select the Start button.

3. Select Run.

4. In the command line type in <CD-DRIVE>:\SETUP.EXE, (or use the Browse... button to locate SETUP.EXE on the CD ROM drive)

5. Select the OK button and this will start the installation procedure.

The next two questions pertain to AutoCAD version and install directory. The installation program will automatically try to locate a compatible AutoCAD install directory.


CADWorx 2009 is compatible with the following AutoCAD versions:

� AutoCAD 2009 (32 bit version only)

� AutoCAD 2008 (32 bit version only)

� AutoCAD 2007

� AutoCAD 2006

CADWorx 2009 is compatible with the following Autodesk vertical products:

� AutoCAD Mechanical 2009/2008/2007/2006

� AutoCAD Electrical 2009/2008/2007/2006

� Autodesk Mechanical Desktop 2009/2008/2007/2006

� Autodesk Inventor

� Autodesk Revit


The next step questions where to install CADWorx Equipment. The drive and directory location will be required. Once the target disk drive and directory are known, the installation program checks their existence and available space. If the target directory does not exist, it is created.

The next step asks for the Windows program group. The dialog will show all current program groups on the machine. The user can either choose a new one, or overwrite the entries in an existing group.

The next step asks for the hardware lock type and color. The installation will install the necessary files and drivers for the option chosen.

During the installation process, a progress bar will be displayed along with the status of the installation process.


Icon Properties

CADWorx Equipment can be run from any location on any directory (network or local). The user has to add all support search paths that might be required to find certain project or job folders. These search paths can be added or modified from the CADWorx Equipment profile. CADWorx Equipment uses the AutoCAD command line switch /P (User Profile) for starting and running the within AutoCAD.

If AutoCAD 2009 is installed in C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2009, the properties of the shortcut created will resemble the following:

"C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2009\Acad.exe" /P CADWORX_EQUIPMENT

The installation program will automatically create a CADWORX_EQUIPMENT user profile. The profile can be created manually by adding the support file search paths (shown below) and the template file location.

The CADWorx Equipment support directory has to be first in the search path because the ACAD.RX file used to load CADWorx Equipment is found in the <INSTALL-DIR>\SUPPORT directory. The ACAD.RX file is a text file that AutoCAD uses to load ARX routines. If the user wants another support directory to be first, copy the ACAD.RX file into that directory. The CADWorx Equipment menu is loaded by the ARX file.

Note: To setup the profile for another user login on the same machine, run the utility SETUP_PROFILE_EQUIPMENT.EXE. This utility is located in the root install directory of CADWorx Equipment


Software Installation on Network Drive

The installation program treats a network drive no differently than a local hard drive. Simply specify the target installation drive and directory and the software will be installed accordingly. Some networks protect installation directories from subsequent modification by users. CADWorx Equipment requires setting the access rights to the installation directory to write, read and modify in specific directories.

Since CADWorx Equipment utilizes data files specific to the installation that a user may need to modify, these files cannot be located in the protected installation directory. These data files are located in a sub-directory named <INSTALL-DIR>\SYSTEM and <INSTALL-DIR>\SUPPORT. Users should be given all access rights to this <INSTALL-DIR>\SYSTEM and <INSTALL-DIR>\SUPPORT directory (while the actual name of the program’s installation directory can be specified by the person installing the software, the \SYSTEM and \SUPPORT sub-directory name is fixed, and is automatically created). Renaming the sub-directories will cause the software to fail and generate errors.

If the users are allowed to modify the specifications and/or component data files, these default directories also need to allow full access. The specification files are found in the <INSTALL-DIR>\SPEC directory. The data files are found in the <INSTALL-DIR>\LIB_I, \LIB_M, \LIB_MM, \STEEL_I, and \STEEL_M directories. These directories can be moved to a user specified location after the program is installed by using the configuration facilities within the Setup function within CADWorx Equipment

When the software is installed on a network drive, the individual user workstation must contain the command line directives in the icon to properly locate and run the software. The easiest way to create the icon on the user workstation is to run the SETUP_PROFILE_Equipment.EXE routine on the workstation.

Note: Administrator rights will be required on the machine to install the program. After the installation has been completed, administrator rights can be revoked. Administrator rights are not required to run CADWorx Equipment.

CADWorx Equipment can be run on a network or stand alone workstations. There are three different network installation configurations possible.

1. The first configuration occurs when the software is installed on the network drive, and the users all have local hardware lock (a white hardware lock attached on a user workstation).

2. The second configuration occurs when a single network (a red lock attached on a network system) lock is to be used, and subsequently accessed by multiple users. The software itself is installed on a network drive or on local workstations.

3. The third configuration occurs when the software is installed on the network drive, and both local hardware locks and a network hardware locks are used.

All three configurations will work with CADWorx Equipment.


External Software Lock (ESL)

The installation program installs the drivers for the External Software Lock (ESL). ESLs are red, white, green, or purple in color and attach to parallel or USB ports.

All ESL related files and drivers can be found in the <INSTALL-DIR>\ASSIDRV directory. The _ReadMe.txt file describes most of the files in the <INSTALL-DIR>\ASSIDRV directory. The _NetHASP_Setup.txt file is a quick guide to installing the network (red) ESL on a Windows network. Please review these files for more detailed information

The remainder of this section deals with detailed information on ESL and is not required reading for a local installation.

The ESL is the security protection method employed by COADE. The ESL responds to queries by the software at various intervals. As long as the response from the ESL is as expected, the software continues to execute and operate normally. An invalid response from the ESL causes the software to return an error and terminate the program.

The parallel type ESL can be easily attached to the parallel port of the computer. The printer cable should then be attached to the other side of the ESL.

The USB type ESL can be easily attached to the USB port of the computer. Most computers will have several USB ports available and any can be used.

Note: Do not connect a Plant and a P&ID lock (two separate locks) to the same machine. The program will find the first lock and return its code. If the Plant program finds the P&ID lock, it will return an error. If the same machine is going to run both Plant and P&ID, then please contact COADE Sales Department ([email protected]) to request that both programs be licensed from the same lock.

The ESL contains the response to the program queries, and other client specific information. This information includes the company name and ESL number. Additional data may be stored on the ESL depending on the specific program and on the specific client.

Network ESLs must be attached to a machine on the network (this can be a workstation or th server). In order for the network to respond to software requests for the ESL, the NetHASP License Manager utility program must be running on the machine where the ESL is attached.


Notes on Network ESLs

There are advantages and disadvantages in utilizing a network ESL. The advantage is that many users have access (from a variety of computers) to the software from a single server.

Additional points for consideration are:

� Depending on the number of licenses allowed by the network ESL, some users may receive error messages when attempting to access the software. For example, assume the ESL has been configured to allow four simultaneous users. When the fifth user attempts to access the software an error message will be generated stating no licenses are available. The fifth user will not be able to access the software until one of the first four exits and releases a license.

� Due to the communication procedures between the workstations and the file server, memory access to the network ESL is much slower than to a local ESL. This access time delay only occurs once, when the software is first started after installation.

� As previously stated, there is no network specific version of the software. The software looks first for a local ESL, then if necessary for a network ESL. This allows both a network ESL and several local ESLs to be utilized on the same system. This transparent ESL access procedure allows a single version of the software to be used on the network, and on remote machines.

� It is suggested that only 70 to 80 percent of the desired licenses be assigned to a network ESL. The remaining 20 to 30 percent of the licenses would be assigned to local ESLs. This enables the local ESL to be moved between computers. Note that if all of the licenses are on the network ESL, a user must be logged into the network to access the software. A few local ESLs provide much greater operating flexibility.

ESL Installation

The following topics explain how to install the different types of hardware locks supported by CADWorx Equipment.

Local Lock Installation

Hardware Lock Instructions for Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista:

1. Double click on the file "..\ASSIDRV\HDD32.EXE" in Windows Explorer.

2. Follow the on screen instructions to install HASP driver.

3. Double click on the file "..\ASSIDRV\HaspHLDriverSetup.exe" in Windows Explorer.

4. Follow the on screen instructions to install the HASP HL driver.

Note: Some steps are automatically performed by the installation program. They are listed here for your reference only. All files referenced here can be found in the <INSTALL-DIR>\ASSIDRV directory


Network Lock Installation

General information about Red Network ESLs.

1. The Red Network ESL should be setup by a person who is FAMILIAR with Windows based networks such as your Network Administrator. If you are not familiar with concepts such as Network Protocols, Broadcast, IP Addresses, TCP, UDP, and Windows Services, please do not attempt to setup the Red Network ESL.

2. The Red Network ESL does NOT have to be attached to the Network Server. COADE recommends attaching the Red Network ESL to a machine that is always up and running, can be re-booted without impact to users, and is not the primary machine for any user on the network.

3. If you install a COADE application on a network drive for many users to access, please make the ..\SYSTEM directory under the COADE application directory has read/write privileges for all users. COADE applications write temporary files to the ..\SYSTEM directory that pertain to the install. For CADWorx, the ..\SUPPORT directory also needs to have read/write privileges for all users.

4. If using other network protocols (NetBIOS or IPX), check Aladdin web site for instructions: http://www.aladdin.com/support/hasp/enduser.asp. The only protocol tested with COADE applications is TCP/IP.

5. The information provided in this file is a supplement to the NetHasp Documentation file called _NETHASP.PDF in the "..\ASSIDRV" directory. Please review _NETHASP.PDF file for any issues not addressed in this file.

NetHASP License Manager / NETHASP.INI Instructions 1. You must have ADMINISTRATOR level privileges to perform these steps.

2. Attach the Red network hardware lock to the parallel port or USB port of the machine.

3. Run the file "LMSETUP.EXE" on the machine where the hardware lock is attached. The LMSETUP.EXE file will be at ..\CADWorx\ASSIDRV\LMSETUP.EXE. Follow the on screen instructions and install the NetHASP License Manager as a "Service".

4. The NetHasp License Manager will automatically start every time the user re-boots the machine. This occurs because the NetHasp License Manager is setup as a start up service inside Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista. To verify that this has occurred, go to Windows Start Button->Settings->Control Panel->Services Icon. In the Services dialog box, there should be an entry called "HASP Loader". The HASP Loader Service will start even if no one logs into the machine.

5. Determine what protocols the NetHasp License Manager is listening to. The NetHasp License Manager will display a message such as:

"Server is listening to IPX : Loaded"

"Server is listening to TCP/IP : Loaded"

"Server is listening to NetBIOS : loaded"

6. The "loaded" means that this protocol is active on the machine. Hit the Activity Log pull down menu. This will bring up the activity log which will confirm what protocols are loaded. Do not be alarmed if the activity log says that "NHSRV.INI" file not found.


7. The Activity Log has a box in the top left that will allow you to bring up just the information specific to each protocol. Bring up the Activity Log for the protocol you want to use. Make sure there are no error messages here.

8. For TCP/IP Protocol, the Activity Log should say something like:

"Server IP address: 111.111.111.111"

"Server Host Name: PDC_NT01"

9. To speed up response time to the Network key, you may "unload" the any protocols that you are not planning on using with the NetHasp License Manager. This can be done from the Remove pull down menu.

NETHASP.INI modification for TCP/IP Protocol:

1. To configure this protocol, you must know the IP address of the machine where the Red Network hardware lock is attached. Example: 111.111.111.111

2. Modify the NETHASP.INI file located at ..\CADWorx\ASSIDRV\NETHASP.INI with the following changes. [NH_COMMON] NH_TCPIP = Enabled [NH_TCPIP] NH_SERVER_ADDR = 111.111.111.111 NH_USE_BROADCAST = Disabled

You may also have to modify other entries in [NH_TCPIP] Section depending on your network setup. The most common entries to modify are: NH_TCPIP_METHOD

3. Copy the NETHASP.INI file into AutoCAD EXE (ACAD.EXE) directory:

Example: AutoCAD 2006 - (C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2009);




For CADWorx Design Review, copy the NETHASP.INI into the C:\Program Files\COADE\COADE CADWorx Design Review 2008 directory

4. Start CADWorx Equipment.

Troubleshooting Network Locks 1. Verify that the NetHasp License Manager is running on the machine where the Red

Network ESL is attached.

2. Verify the Protocols that NetHasp License Manager is broadcasting. Make sure that these protocols are installed on the Client machines.


3. Install and run the Monitor Utility that is located in the <INSTALL-DIR>\ASSIDRV\NetHASPMonitorSetup.exe. If NetHASP Monitor cannot find the Red Network ESL, than the CADWorx Equipment will not find the Red Network ESL

Startup Defaults

When starting CADWorx Equipment for the first time, the user will be prompted for the system of measurement to be used in the drawing, i.e., imperial measurements with imperial pipe size, metric measurements with imperial pipe size, or metric measurements with metric pipe size. If imperial is chosen, then the default configuration file would be the IMPERIAL.CFG located in the <INSTALL-DIR>\SYSTEM directory. If metric measurements were chosen, then the default configuration file would be METRIC.CFG located in the <INSTALL-DIR>\SYSTEM directory.

These configuration files can be located anywhere desired. The user can also use a CADWorx P&ID configuration file. These configuration files can be chosen with the Restore button located in the Edit Configuration dialog.

This dialog will only appear once and the configuration file location and name is then stored in the registry.

Choose Environment

Use these radio buttons to chose the initial drawing environment as explained above.


Configuration

The Configuration File dialog enables the user to modify the registry recorded configuration file. The default configuration file is <INSTALL-DIR>\SYSTEM\IMPERIAL.CFG (or METRIC.CFG for metric use). Any configuration file can be saved or restored as desired by simply clicking on the browse button to the right of the file name when the item has been highlighted.


Drawing Prototype

This section allows the user to select the drawing environment type with the three radio buttons supplied here. When the Imperial - Inch radio button is selected, the program restores the <INSTALL-DIR>\SYSTEM\IMPERIAL.CFG. When the Metric-Inch or Metric-Metric radio button is selected, the program restores the <INSTALL-DIR>\SYSTEM\METRIC.CFG.

For AutoCAD 2000i, 2002 2004 and 2005, the default template, IMPERIAL.DWT (METRIC.DWG for metric) is also stored in the registry. Therefore each time the program is started, the corresponding template will be used. In AutoCAD 2000 the default prototype template is not stored in the registry and must be selected each time.

Note: The radio buttons only change the setting for the default configuration files (IMPERIAL.CFG or METRIC.CFG in the <INSTALL-DIR>\SYSTEM\ directory). If you are using a different configuration file, use the SystemMeasure (see page 28) variable below to change the drawing prototype setting.

List

This list box allows the user to select or highlight a variable that needs changing. Use the edit box below to change the variable after it has been selected. See the next topic, Startup Variables (see page 25) for more information on the items in this list.

Save

Use this button to save the current configuration file to its present location.

Save As

Use this button to save the current configuration file to another location.

Restore

Use this button to restore a saved configuration file to the current drawing environment. This will place the configuration file’s location in the registry and it will be used the next time CADWorx Equipment is initialized.

Cancel

Use this button to undo any action performed and to cancel out of this dialog.

Help

Use this button to display Help.


Startup Variables

These startup parameters provide default values each time the program is started. This file can be modified as desired for the required drawing defaults. The last configuration file is stored in the registry and will be used again and again until it has been changed to another with the Restore button.

The program accesses the configuration file whenever it is started. If this file does not exist, the program will prompt the user to select the initial drawing environment as explained earlier. If the default templates cannot be found, another dialog will appear indicating that the program will need to be re-installed.

The following lines of information will be displayed in the dialog and placed in this file. Each line below will have a description immediately following it outlining its purpose.

AlphaSizeControl

Default value: 0 Allowed values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

This variable controls how many decimal places are used in Alpha Size. Setting this variable to 0 (zero) will place no decimals in Alpha Size. Setting the variable to a value from 1 to 9 will place 1 to 9 decimal places in Alpha Size. Setting this variable to 10 (ten) will suppress trailing zeros in Alpha Size.

Example with value a of 0:

� For Imperial pipe size: 4 1/2" would be 4 1/2" or 6" would be 6"

� For Metric pipe size: 50 would be 50 or 60.3 would be 60


� For Imperial pipe size: 4 1/2" would be 4.500" or 6" would be 6.000"

� For Metric pipe size: 50 would be 50.000 or 60.3 would be 60.300


� For Imperial pipe size: 4 1/2" would be 4.5" or 6" would be 6"

� For Metric pipe size: 50 would be 50 or 60.3 would be 60.3

Note: If you want decimals to display in Alpha Size in Imperial or Metric, the ideal setting is 10.

� Nozzle Details

This field allows the user to set various nozzle details in one dialog. The dialog has two modes - Nominal and Actual. To bring the nozzle details dialog click on the "..." button in the Nozzle details edit box.


When the nozzle basis is set to Nominal, CADWorx Equipment provides a look up system for flange dimensions. Pump nozzles are always of type FFWN.

The drop down list for diameter and flange rating are populated based on the entries of the NozzleDropDown.tbl file located in the <INSTALL-DIR>\System directory.


The user can select a diameter from the drop down list for diameter. They can then specify a rating which will enable CADWorx Equipment to look up the flange dimensions from the FlangeImperial.dat (FlangeMetric.dat for metric) file.

When the nozzle basis is set to Actual, the user can enter actual diameter of the nozzle to be created. The user is also responsible for providing all other required values including Flange thickness and Flange OD.

Creating a Base Profile

To create a base profile, the user can copy his AutoCAD icon or CADWorx Equipment icon and give it a profile which will be based on the default AutoCAD profile.

1. Copy the AutoCAD or CADWorx Equipment icon to a new icon on the desktop. This can also be copied into the start menu. Refer to the Windows documentation for example and procedures on copying.

2. Edit this icon by right clicking on it.

3. From the context menu, choose the Properties from the bottom.

4. Pick the Shortcut tab.

5. In the Target edit box, modify the profile at the end of the target. For example, "C:\Program File\AutoCAD 2009\acad.exe" /p UserBase (or any name which does not exist under the Profile tab in the Options dialog within AutoCAD). Make sure to place the profile command switch outside of the quotes as shown. The quotes will not be required if the name of the AutoCAD directory is not a long file name (spaces, etc.).

6. Pick the OK button.

7. Start AutoCAD with this icon.

8. AutoCAD will display a message indicating that it can not find this profile and will create it based on the AutoCAD defaults.

Running CADWorx Equipment with CADWorx Plant

The following steps show how to run CADWorx Plant and CADWorx Equipment simultaneously within the same AutoCAD session. This will be necessary if equipment created with CADWorx Equipment needs to be modified while in the CADWorx Plant drawing session.

1. Start CADWorx Plant and go to AutoCAD Tools pull down menu -> Options.

2. In the Options dialog, select the Files tab and expand the Support File Search Path item.

3. Click on Add button and browse to the CADWorx Equipment support directory (e.g. C:\CADWorx Equipment\Support) as shown below. Close CADWorx Plant.

4. Start Windows Explorer and browse to the CADWorx Plant support directory (e.g. C:\CADWorx Plant\Support).

5. Locate the file ACAD.RX and open it using NOTEPAD.EXE

This appendix explains the use of a very common dialog. It's explanation is located here due to the multiple references to it throughout this user guide.

This dialog lists either all the materials available in the material file or all the motor sizes available in the motor file. The material file can be specified using the MaterialFile (see page 26) configuration file variable. The motor file can be located in the <INSTALL-DIR>\System\Emotor.tbl (Emotorm.tbl for metric).

Note: The filter is case sensitive.

Steel Selection Dialog


To bring the Select Steel Member dialog click on the "..." button in the Member edit box.

This dialog scans the SteelLibraryDirectory (see page 27) for valid CADWorx Steel data files and populates this dialog. Once the type is selected, the program will load all data files available into the data file drop down box. When a data file is selected from the list, all members available in the file are loaded into the list. The user can the select the desired member and click OK to exit the dialog.

Steel pipes can be drawn using either ANSI Nominal/Actual parameters or CADWorx Steel data file parameters. The ANSI Nominal/Actual fields can be activated by selecting the Pipe component from the Select Type pull-down menu.

Note: The ANSI pipe data files, ScheduleMetric.dat and ScheduleImperial.dat are located in the .../System directory.
