Customize attribute block for AutoPLANT P&ID.

[qmlm1981]

1,I want to customize a attribute block named "XDE_".By default,this block is combined with "TAG_NO" and "XLAST".May I have a question,what is the meaning of "XLAST"?What is the useness of it?

2,When I opened the PID3.dwg to create the attribute,but the menu named "Block Manager" cannot be loaded,Why?How to fix it?Can I load it manually?

I believe the XLAST puts the 2nd equipment tag in the drawing. So if your making a custom equipment block, just copy one of the existing ones and change your attributes. Are you making a custom equipment tag?

2. I don't know what block manager is. If that is a custom menu, type MENULOAD and browse to where your custom menu is.

-XLAST has something to do with the replicate command in P&ID.
-you must open the blockmanager drawings (pid1,2,3 piddin4, pflow, ...) withe the "2D Schematic Drawings for AutoCAD 2004"-icon. You can use this to work outside Document Manager (don't!!) or to open I&W templates or block manager drawings. the menu and associated lisp should load automatically in that case



ps : doesn't your local Bentley support team help you on this ?
