Load Project (P+ID)

Load project, via Explorer

P+ID > P+ID Project > Load project, via Explorer

In order to process an existing project, you first need to load (i.e. open) it; if necessary, the program asks you to close and save the previous project.

The Windows file selection dialogue box is then displayed. Select the required project (normally in \PID\PROJECT) and then the RPA file. The project selected in this way is loaded temporarily in the Work directory and recognised as the active project. The previously processed P+ID sheet is automatically opened.

Notes:

If you exit HiCAD P+ID improperly (e.g. because of a power failure, program crash, or the Task Manager, etc.), the processed project is still in the WORK directory. In this case, HiCAD does not execute the New project function, and outputs the following message:

The interrupted process is continued

The project is then loaded from the Work directory, and you can continue processing.

Load project, via database (document master)

P+ID > P+ID Project > Load project, via document master

To access a project via the database, select the appropriate document master.

Proceed in the same way as for the loading of a drawing with database in 2-D or 3-D.

Further information on the operation of the database masks can be found in the HELiOS Online Help.
