Information + Communication Navigator (P+ID)

If a P+ID project is open, the Information + Communication Navigator displays the following information:

3-D tab

Displays the current sheet designation.

2-D tab

This option displays the names of all symbols, connections, text etc. belonging to the current sheet, as well as other 2-D parts. The selected element is appropriately indicated on the sheet.

Properties tab

Displaying the characteristics of the element selected in the 2-D tab.

Graphic tab

A graphical preview of the element selected in the 2-D tab.

Switch drawing tab

A maximum of 18 drawings can be loaded and processed simultaneously. The Switch drawing tab enables you to open several drawings simultaneously and switch between files. The P+ID module is always assigned to the last window (18), i.e. a miniature view of the active sheet of the current project or the current symbol library is displayed.

This tab also allows you to open drawings that do not belong to a P+ID without exiting the P+ID module. If you double-click an empty image tile, you can load the required drawing or create a new one.

To switch from the current drawing to another drawing in the tab, double-click the appropriate tile with the left mouse button.

To remove a drawing from the pane, activate it with a double click of the left mouse button and then select the Close option from the File menu.

You can work with the ICN – including multiple selection – in the way described in the Tutorial for handling 2-D parts.
