Technical Support For the latest information on CADWorx Plant, visit Intergraph CADWorx and Analysis Solutions (http://www.coade.com/).

For current on-line support information, including knowledge base, technical tips, and downloads, visit eCustomer (https://crmweb.intergraph.com/ecustomer_enu).

In order to provide technical support, Intergraph CAS needs to know what version of CADWorx, AutoCAD, and Windows you are using. To determine this information, follow the steps outlined for the product you are using:

CADWorx Product Steps

Plant, P&ID, fieldPipe, or Steel Run the CADWORXABOUT command. A dialog box opens and displays the version information.

Close the dialog box to send the required information to the AutoCAD command line.

Copy the information from the command line, and email it to Intergraph CAS.

Equipment or PV Fabricator Run the EQUIPABOUT command. A dialog box opens and displays the version information.

Close the dialog box to send the required information to the AutoCAD command line.

Copy the information from the command line, and email it to Intergraph CAS.

Internet Publisher Version information is displayed at the AutoCAD command line when you start the software.

Datasheets Click Help > About to display a dialog box that contains the required information.

In addition to the information above, the table below lists the additional files that are usually required to assist Intergraph CAS in resolving your technical issues:

CADWorx Product

Additional Files Required by Intergraph CAS Support

CADWorx Plant (Piping, Steel, HVAC) Email the AutoCAD model drawing (DWG) files.

If the model consists of several line numbers, indicate in the email which line numbers you are having issues with.

If the model consists of many drawing files with dependent reference drawings (XREFs), use the AutoCAD ETRANSMIT command to create a ZIP file of all the drawings used in the master model.

CADWorx Plant (component data file creation)

Email information about the part's dimension from the manufacturer's catalog.

Preface


CADWorx ISOGEN Email the AutoCAD model drawing (DWG) files, any isometrics generated by ISOGEN, and the ISOGEN style files.


The ISOGEN.FLS file located in the ISOGEN style folder lists all the files used (*.OPL, *.MLS, *.FLS, *.DDF, *.POS, *.ALT, *.DWG*.DXF, *.FDF, *.ATT). Email all files listed in the ISOGEN.FLS file, including the ISOGEN.FLS file.

CADWorx Equipment Email the AutoCAD model drawing (DWG) files.

CADWorx Equipment to PV Elite interface

Email the AutoCAD model drawing (DWG) file and PV Elite input file (*.PVI).

PV Fabricator Email the AutoCAD model drawing (DWG) files and PV Elite input file (*.PVI).

CADWorx P&ID or CADWorx IP Email the complete P&ID project, which includes Project.CFG, Database.TBL, Map.TBL, and all the DWG, and MDB files. Usually, all of these files are located in one folder.

If the project has many P&ID drawing files, indicate which P&ID drawings and components you are having issues with.

If you are experiencing database errors, include the file [Product Folder]\P&ID\System\Sql_Error_Log.TXT.

If you are emailing MDB files, use a compression utility such as WinZIP. Most email servers have restrictions on transmitting MDB attachments.

CADWorx Steel Email the AutoCAD model drawing (DWG) files.

If the model consists of many components, indicate in the model which components or location you are having issues with.

CADWorx Datasheets Email the datasheets MDB file and any datasheet file generated (XLS).

If emailing MDB / XLS files, use a compression utility such as WinZIP. Most email servers have restrictions on transmitting MDB / XLS attachments.

Preface


CADWorx Plant to CAESAR II interface

Email the AutoCAD model drawing (DWG) file and CAESAR II input file (*._A, *.C2).

Run the CADWorx GETALLSPECDATAFILES command to copy all specifications and data files used in the model into sub-folders under where the model drawing file is located.

Zip the contents of these folders and email the ZIP file to Intergraph CAS Support.


CADWorx Design Review or CADWorx Design Create

Email the AutoCAD model drawing (DWG) files.


If the model consists of many drawing files with dependent reference drawings (XREFs), use the AutoCAD ETRANSMIT command to create a ZIP file of all drawings used in the master model.

CADWorx Design Viewer Email the AutoCAD model drawing (DWG) files and the *.CDR file.

If you are attaching large or multiple files to your eCustomer log, use a compression utility such as WinZIP.

If you cannot attach your drawing files, then try to duplicate the issue in a new drawing with as few components as possible. If the issue can be duplicated in a new drawing, attach the duplicate drawing to Intergraph CAS.

For hardware lock issues, first verify that you have an Intergraph CAS hardware lock. CADWorx Plant Professional, CADWorx P&ID, CADWorx P&ID Professional, CADWorx Plant Ductile Iron, and CADWorx Plant Sanitary use the Intergraph CAS hardware lock for licensing. CADWorx Steel, CADWorx Steel Professional Plus do not use the Intergraph CAS hardware lock for licensing. For more information about hardware locks, see CADWorx Hardware Lock Identification in the CADWorx Installation Guide.
