Does anyone know what areas in the sup.lsp I have to modify so that the process/run line dialog box pops up for the new process lines I have created? If the CATT on them know I only get the options modify the run.

Thanks

I found the section below for those who want to know. Also make sure that after adding them, you update the sup.lsp in autoplant.

;;-------------------------------------------------------------------------

;; The following list contains P&ID Lines Keys that will have both a Process and a Run.

;; These strings are Keys taken from the Settings.dbf file.

(setq ProcessRunList

; uncomment to NOT create process line with Din linetypes

; '( "MAJOR" "EXISTMA" "NEWMAJ" )

'( "MAJOR" "EXISTMA" "NEWMAJ"

"DIN-501" "DIN-502" "DIN-503" "DIN-504" "DIN-505" "DIN-506" "DIN-507" "DIN-508"

"DIN-509" "DIN-510" "DIN-511" "DIN-512" "DIN-513" "DIN-514" "DIN-515" "DIN-516"

)

)

;; Uncomment the following to create a Process and a Run for all P&ID Line menu picks.

(setq ProcessRunList

'( "MAJOR" "youlinetype" "MINOR" "EXISTMA" "EXISTMI" "NEWMAJ" "NEWMIN")

)

The ProcessRunList must hold all the SETTINGS-keys for lines that will have both a run and a process-entry upon creation. Lines that are not in this list will be created as 'run-only' (unless when they are created as an additional branch on an existing process-line !). This allows to create pipes for drain, measurement, vent, ... lines with a diameter and a spec, but without popping up in the line list.
By default the 'major' lines are process/run and the minor lines are run-only.
You can always switch a run-only line to a process line by adding it to an existing line with the process line Manager. This tool has also an optoin to create a process line tag directly in the database. A run-only line can be added to it to become a full process line.

The entry in the ProcessRunList must be in capitals.
