About this Provider Adapter

Intergraph Design Review or SmartPlant Review is an Intergraph application to perform design reviews on 3D models produced by Intergraph PDS. In order to present the Design Review or SmartPlant Review user with PDS attribute information, DRV files are generated which contain a sub-set of the PDS attributes.

This Intergraph DRV provider adapter reads PDS-produced Microstation DGN files and the associated attributes from the DRV files. For each DGN file there must be a DRV file.

Limitations

V-Suite CORE CAD source synchronization from Intergraph DRV may not always be able to incrementally update the asset database because the provider adapter does not always provide sufficient asset information.

CAD Source Wizard

The CAD Source Wizard will present you with options to configure a CAD source that may utilize this provider adapter. You will be presented with the following wizard page;

Press the 'Add File(s) to selection' link to specify which PDS DGN files you wish to update into the asset database. The Intergraph DRV provider adapters assumes that the DRV files are located in the same folder. Refer to the CAD Source File Selection for more details on how to add a file selection to a CAD oource.

Default Schema Mapping

The Intergraph DRV provider adapter provides a default schema mapping for PDS DGN files produced with Frameworks Plus and PD_EQP. It will assign user friendly attribute names, select the relevant PDS attributes and set the attribute which will be assigned to the asset name. This default mapping will be presented on the Schema Mapping page of the CAD Source Wizard. You can customize the default schema mapping.
