PDMS Draft setup detailed execution stages

  • Review of client standards and specifications
  • Configuration of Draft & Isodraft settings
  • Testing and output validation

Review of client standards and specifications

Before starting the project, standards and specifications provided by our client are reviewed, and any suggestions or clarifications resolved collaboratively. This step ensures that there is enough information to complete the project, and that client expectations for deliverables will be met by the resulting configuration. Documents may include technical requirements for drawings (line style, colours, and font), hierarchy, naming rules, and others.

Testing and Output Validation

Once configuration is completed, sample drawings are generated using a a variety of layouts and orientations. The generated deliverables are then reviewed and compared with input client requirements. If any adjustments to configuration are required, these are made and the process repeated until the deliverables match the specifications.

Quality Assurance

TecSurge ensures that all deliverables are checked and verified according to their requirements and the output is tested on every layout required by client.

During the customer verification period, the client confirms their acceptance of each of the deliverables and provides comments or feedback regarding the delivered package. Any issues raised during this stage will be resolved prior to project completion.

Getting Started

Typically, our customers must prepare input data/documents, such as piping assembly standards, PDMS piping specs and catalogues that are required to start the project. TecSurge validates all the input data.

In addition to these documents which are requested by TecSurge, we will ask our clients a series of questions to clarify the scope of work:

  • What version of PDMS/E3D are you using?

    Why: To account for full compatibility on different versions of PDMS/E3D and ensure our testing is performed on an environment required by our client.

  • When is your target completion date, and when do you expect to start?

    Why: The responses to these standard project management parameters can have a significant impact on the cost due to the prioritisation of work and the manpower required.
