Manual CADWORX STS PDF

This document provides instructions for configuring and using Cadworx plant design software. It discusses setting up the configuration settings for units and templates, creating user-defined shapes, and exporting models to Navisworks for coordination. The key steps are to 1) set the drawing units to English/Inch, 2) create custom 3D shapes for any non-standard components, and 3) install and use the Navisworks exporter to output models for clash detection.

USER SHAPES

CADWORX USER SHAPES 02


Some objects may not exist in the Equipment Library, so we need to create a user shape that will be
inserted to the model.

As with all user shapes it is necessary to have 3D or a combina�on of 3D and 2D objects modeled to
represent the component.

1.-Draw the component in Autocad

2.- Create a new Data File located in the following loca�on:

* You can open an exi�ng Data File and save it with another name.

3.- Replace the informa�on in the Table Data about the user shape previously created.
The informa�on required is Size and Thickness. It must include all the sizes you requiere in one docu-
ment.

4.- Put all the dwg. files created, matching the informa�on you already include in the Data Table. It must
be one dwg. for each size.

5.- Open Cadworx Equipment and find the User Shape created in the following:
CADWORX EQUIPMENT 02
CADWORX EQUIPMENT 03
