Coloring Components and Pipings with Linked Segments in the P&I Diagram

In order to recognize in the P&I diagram which containers, PCT loops, pipings etc. are linked with segments in the pre-planning you can color these components and objects in the P&I diagram. This way these associated structures are detected in the diagram and possible corrections can be identified more easily.

Preconditions:

  1. Select the following menu items: Project data > Pre-planning > Navigator
  2. Mark the segment whose subordinate structures you want to make visible in the P&I diagram.
  3. Select the Properties popup menu item.
  4. In the property dialog of the segment in the property table select the property Color for P&I diagram.
  5. Open the Color selection dialog with [...] and select the desired color there.
  6. Select the following menu items: Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Pre-planning > General
  7. Activate the With assigned segment check box in the Color components and pipings in P&I diagrams group box in the Settings: General dialog.

    After you have closed the settings dialog with [OK], the objects with linked segments are displayed in the selected color.

    The designations and descriptions of the segments for which a color was specified with the Color for P&I diagram property, are displayed in the selected color in the pre-planning navigator.

Tip:

Activate the In pipings (without assigned segment) check box to additionally color the components that belong to such a piping but are without an assigned segment in the pre-planning.

Note:

If the check box With assigned segment is deactivated, neither the objects with linked segments nor the additional components in the pipings without link to the pre-planning are colored.
