Agenda • Background • Lyondell Chemical Company • Document Management Program • Introduction of CADCapture • Description of product • Benefits to Users • Features and Options • How it enhances searching in DCTM by users
Background • Lyondell Chemical Company (NYSE: LYO) is a global manufacturer and marketer of basic chemicals and polymers that enhance the quality of life: • Food Packaging • Automobile parts • Household products • Home Building materials • Clothing • Carpeting, furniture, fabrics, wall coverings...and more • In total, the worldwide Lyondell enterprise comprises: • more than $14 billion in assets • operations in 14 countries • approximately 8,000 employees
Document Management Program Document Management is a component of Lyondell’s Knowledge Management Strategy • Documentum is the Enterprise Standard for Document Management and is currently used to manage over 1 million documents: • AutoCad Drawings • Standard Operating Procedures • Spec Sheets • Work Instructions • Administrative documents: Training material, contracts, web-content, etc…. Lyondell partnered with Trinity to enhance Documentum functionality.
CADCapture is… … an easy-to use Documentum accessory that: • automatically extracts tag, text and title block information from Microstation and AutoCAD drawings • maps extracted drawing information directly to Documentum attributes and also registered tables.
Benefits of CADCapture • Configuration file can be modified to reflect plant or project-specific taxonomy • Provide central location and control for all company drawings Improved Drawing Management Enhance QA/MOC Efficiencies Work Process Efficiencies • Provides vehicle to easily identify all drawings affected by a particular change • Synchronizes drawing title and revision number in the drawing with their associated Documentum attributes • Makes important drawing data searchable in Documentum without manual entry • Enables bulk check in of CAD files into a secure Documentum content repository
Features and Functions CADCapture Bulk Loading Capability Process against up To 8 Docbases Process drawings for Information not captured during Manual check in Captures data from the drawing such as equipment tags, line numbers and title block information Enables users to get desired information in Documentum for reference and searchability
The CADCapture Architecture • CADCapture is a Visual Basic application with a COM interface to Autocad 2000 • CADCapture is configured through the .ini file to process information according to company standards
The CADCapture.ini File • Defines: • Title block, drawing number, and tag determination logic • Attribute data rules • Registered table definitions • Docbase connectivity information • Tag processing rules • Enables CADCapture to be customized to specific drawing labeling standards for each site.
Parsing the Anatomy of a Tag • Sample Equipment Tag • M-1043-A • Broken down becomes • Field1(Prefix): M • Delimiter1: - • Field2(Seq No): 1043 • Delimiter2: - • Field3(Suffix): A
Anatomy of a Tag(cont) • Flexibility in naming taxonomy • Are fields required or optional? • Do fields have a required size or range of sizes? • Are delimiters required or optional? • Are spaces allowed between fields and delimiters? • Are there predetermined values (or filter list) that a field can contain, e.q., “M”, “AB”, or “####”
How does CADCapture work? • User initiates the CADCapture process • CADCapture processes files to be selected or checks the Documentum Queue
1. Application Start Menu • Select processing option
Shows Status of drawing being processed Shows Docbase in use 3. Begin Processing
Title block information Equipment Tags Line Numbers Instrument tags PSV Tags 4. Viewing the results
Documentum Interface
Process Drawings in Docbase • Automated-mode • Monitors up to 8 docbases • Processes docbases in a round-robin approach • Singular-Mode • Processes individual checked-out files • Handles queue requests to extract tags from drawings • Updates drawing object attributes • Updates registered tables
Automated-Mode Loops through docbases processing queued requests for tag extraction
Singular-ModeProcesses a single checked-out drawing • Displays complete results as well as the delta’s between the old and the new
