AutoPLANT P&ID automatic data insertion

[Tomek]

How can we customize P&ID to get the same functionality for data being assigned to e.g. Valve, as it is now for Nominal Diameter?
We expect to have Area, Line Number, being read from Line data and written into the Valve table fields like : VAREA, for line number we need to add extra field to the table VALVE I guess...

The goal is to have all data updated and available for tagging Valves etc.

Hand Valves have an association to the piperun in p&id when it is inserted. As piperuns also have an association to a line number or process you indirectly have your line number for a hand valve. It will not store it in the VALVE table in the database though and you would not want it stored there anyway for the simple reason that if the line number changes it would not update the value in the VALVE table.

If you select the piperun tab in the CATT dialog when editting a valve you should see the associated piperun and line number. If it doesn't show all the details you need then you will need to modify the AT_HVALVE system view to include the additional fields and then customize the CATT dialogs and add the fields to the proper form. Customization of the CATT dialogs can only be done with VB6, .net version will not work.

Hi, Thank you PartRidge. You are right, but what we need is to have a line number as a part of HVALVE label.
BTW: What we need even more is automatic insertion of the VAREA data into Valve record during insertion of the valve into specific line. Why isn't it updated automatically? If line belongs to specific area, we always should have this area field filled in. Thank's once more!

Tomek, I can provide that kind of customization, but I need info about the tagformat of the lines and valves.
