Project: HiCAD P+ID

Assigned 3-D Layout Plan

P+ID > Link to 3-D > Assigned 3-D layout plan 

If the 3-D layout plan belonging to the P+ID has already been loaded into a different HiCAD window, you will switch to this window when you call the function. At the same time, the HiCAD Plant Engineeringmodule will be activated.

If a 3-D layout plan has been assigned to the P+ID, but this P+ID has not been loaded into a HiCAD window yet,

• a still empty window will be determined,
• the associated 3-D layout plan will be loaded, and
• the HiCAD Plant Engineeringmodule will be activated.

If a referenced assembly has been linked to the P+ID, the assembly will be loaded into an empty window when you call the function. For this purpose, a drawing file will be created into which the referenced assembly from the .KRA file will be loaded, or HiCAD will switch to the window into which the assembly has already been loaded. If several assemblies have been linked to the P+ID, a selection list with the corresponding document masters will appera, enabling you to choose the desired assembly.

Take over user-defined attributes from P+ID

P+ID dialogue types can be assigned to user-defined attributes can be assigned to on the p+ID attribute assignment tab of the Plant Engineering Settings dialogue window that you open by choosing P+ID > Settings .

When you change one of the assigned dialogue types for a symbol in a P+ID, and then switch to the 3-D layout plan via P+ID > Link to 3-D > Assigned 3-D layout plan , the new value of the dialogue field will be applied to the attributes of the part.

Example: Let us assume that you choose the dialogue type Code for the Plant Engineering attribute 1 and, in the P+ID, change the Code for a Vessel symbol from B1 to B2. When switching to the 3-D layout plan, the PE attribute 1 will be changed for the affected Vessel from B1 to B2. This will also be confirmed by a corresponding info message.
