CHAPTER 3

3 Support Defaults within AVEVA E3D

Before the user can start building supports, a series of defaults must be entered. Some of these defaults
can be set by the user through the Supports Application Defaults form, others are set at an Administration
level.

3.1 Supports Application Defaults

Supports Application Defaults can be displayed by selecting the Defaults option

on the drop-down menu of the Defaults button located in the Settings group on the
SUPPORTS tab.

Any changes made by the user are temporary and apply only to the current session.
To make the changes to the defaults permanent, the applicable administration
windows must be modified.

 A full description of all the Supports Application Defaults form functions can be found in Appendix
A of this guide.
