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:
- You have opened a project containing pre-planning data.
- You have opened a page of the "P&I diagram" type.
- You have placed process engineering symbols that are connected via autoconnect lines on this page.
- Select the following menu items: Project data > Pre-planning > Navigator
- Mark the segment whose subordinate structures you want to make visible in the P&I diagram.
- Select the Properties popup menu item.
- In the property dialog of the segment in the property table select the property Color for P&I diagram.
- Open the Color selection dialog with [...] and select the desired color there.
- Select the following menu items: Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Pre-planning > General
- 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.
