When a file is registered in SmartPlant Foundation, it is stored in a vault or in the database as described in previous sections. These files are native to the application that created them and are not the best format for general distribution, searching in SmartPlant Foundation, and general communication. For this reason, there are three tools available in SmartPlant Foundation, each of which has its own special file class:

  • Drawing annotation and Markup using SmartPlant Markup Plus

  • Alternate rendition generation (PDF)

  • FTR indexing

Each of these classes are related to the native file through a composition interface. The markup interface is always realized by the design file class as this carries commands that interact with SmartPlant Markup Plus. The other two are added by the applications.

There is also a composition interface for relating reference files.
