ATLANTA : April 25, 2007
GeoFields, Inc., a leading provider of proven data management solutions for the oil and gas pipeline industry, today announced the immediate availability of its highly anticipated DataFrame ASG 10, an automated alignment sheet design and generation application for pipeline operators.
The new features in DataFrame ASG 10 allow users to design and generate any type of pipeline sheet, creating flexible, reusable templates configured to unlimited spatial data sources. The introduction of new band types allows for the display of integrity data that would be nearly impossible with traditional drawing methods. The addition of GeoPDF® output also allows users in the field to access these press-quality sheets with embedded map data like never before.
“DataFrame ASG 10 marks a turning point and really pushes the boundaries in alignment sheet generation. Now, pipeline operators can produce complex sheets with any number of data bands from the enterprise database based on user-defined templates,” said Scot Twining, product manager at GeoFields. “This release will boost productivity giving users total control to quickly generate richly designed sheets through a library of graphical bands, advanced symbology and dynamic data links.”
New enhancements of DataFrame ASG 10 include:
- An XY Chart Band that allows data to be calibrated to the pipeline stationing and rendered on the X-axis of the chart, enabling the display of various types of integrity data such as metal loss,
- A new Template Validation tool that reports problems before sheets are generated so that users can proactively fix design problems,
- A Data Inconsistency Reporting tool that shows data problems such as gaps and overlaps,
- A Key Code Event Group label overposting resolution allows users to create leaderlines for situations where labels are densely packed, and
- Enhanced GeoPDF® Output Support for spatially enabled PDFs that can be taken into the field.
