DataFrame™ ASG
Automated Alignment Sheet Generator
Design sheet templates with virtually unlimited flexibility and distribute them to users for batch sheet production projects or on-demand sheet generation. A library of sheet bands allows you to display your data in a wide variety of styles for any type of sheet from classic alignment sheets to construction, integrity and risk sheets. Symbology, graphic representation and labeling are amazingly flexible using the same powerful tools available in ESRI's ArcGIS® suite. Press-quality sheet output can be generated in batches or one at a time direct to printers or to formats including PDF and GeoPDF® with embedded map data. View a GeoPDF® alignment sheet.
Template Driven
The template design interface allows you to design sheets and share templates with the entire organization. The range of template designs are unlimited and can be designed to reproduce traditional sheets such as construction or as-built alignment sheets, or to develop new formats for risk and integrity analysis. Templates provide all the necessary elements for automated sheet generation including designing the sheet layout, configuring data sources, setting sheet scale and adding data-driven labels. Sheet bands are easily arranged on the page by simply dragging and dropping them to the layout.
Rich Sheet Design
DataFrame ASG has the flexibility for unlimited variations of alignment sheets in richly and precisely formatted designs based on your needs. Sheets can be any size and can contain any number of bands with a large library of band types that you can tailor to your specific needs. The band library includes formats that support risk assessment, integrity management, construction projects and pipeline route planning, among other formats designed to support pipeline business objectives. You can get started quickly using professionally designed templates provided by GeoFields, or design your own specialized template formats.
Multiple Parallel Line Support
DataFrame ASG has been built from the ground up to support systems with parallel pipelines in the same right of way. Flexibility exists to identify when data should only be drawn to a primary line or all displayed lines. Parallel pipelines are drawn adjacent to each other, allowing the users of the alignment sheet output to see the whole picture and reduce the liability of impacting the incorrect line section.
Integrated Sheet Index and Matchline Management
Maintaining the data that supports alignment sheet generation, such as sheet indexes and matchline ranges, is simple using the included prep tools. Results can be easily incorporated into the pipeline database for use throughout the company.
Unlimited Symbology
Symbology and labeling can be created and edited using powerful tools familiar to ESRI ArcGIS users. Advanced classification and symbology options allow you to set ranges or symbols; vary symbol size, color and shape based on data properties (inlet diameter, pipe specification, age, condition and so on); and even display miniature data charts at points of interest on the sheet.
Production Proven
DataFrame ASG is the most flexible and powerful automated alignment sheet generation solution available. For over a decade, GeoFields has developed alignment sheet generators that have met the needs of hundreds of sheet users in many divisions of companies from pipeline operators to those managing railroad track and fiber optic networks. Today DataFrame ASG offers users across the pipeline industry a comprehensive sheet design and production platform for everyone's needs.
