Project: HiCAD P+ID

P+ID Drawing

P+ID > Settings > Settings > P+ID drawing

On this tab you specify a setting for the size of form templates and associated drawing frames for sheets contained in a schema as well as lists. This change only influences the next sheet.

The P+ID drawing tab is composed of the following sections:


P+ID sheet format

This function enables you to specify the format of sheets belonging to the schema.

Each format includes a drawing frame with title block, whereby the title block contents, i.e. the assignment of the text place holder determined by the title block symbol. The title block of the selected drawing frame is taken from the active title block library.

Select the User-defined option to specify your own settings. The entry window shown below enables you to specify the height and width as well as values for the inner and outer frame.

Activate the Use HiCAD drawing frame checkbox if you want to use any HiCAD frame instead of the P+ID frames. Which HiCAD frames instead of the P+ID frames are to be used can be set in the Configuration Editor. There you can also specify the text display in the title blocks.

If desired you can suppress the representation of current paths in the P+ID. For this to happen, deactivate the Draw current paths checkbox. This change will affect all sheets of the project.


P+ID sheet division

Horizontal paths

The selected number determines the number of equal sections in which the horizontal coordinate axis should be divided.

 

Numbering

This option determines the numbering of the vertical path. The following options are available:

Example: By sheet numbers, block rel.
Let us assume that sheets "1.0", "1.2","2.1" und "2.3" exist, each with 10 horizontal paths, and that the value 50 is set for the block value. Then numbering is carried out as follows:

Example: By sheet numbers, block abs.
If sheets "1.0", "1.2","2.1" and "2.3" exist, each with 10 horizontal paths, then the numbering is as follows:

 

Vertical paths

The selected number determines the number of areas of equally width in which the vertical coordinate axis should be divided. As shown below, these areas are indicated in the drawing frame by the characters „A“, „B“, „C“ etc.


UNDO steps for P+ID

Several Undo steps are available for actions that only influence the current sheet. However, only one Undo is available for actions that influence other sheets. You can set a value between 1 and 10 for Undo steps.


List format

This function enables you to preset the format and the associated frame for Graphic sheets. All graphical lists are created on this type of sheet. This function influences the next sheet, i.e. the sheet created after the function has been executed. The title block symbol in the drawing frame is taken from the active title block library.


Save sheet

If the Always, without confirmation checkbox is active, the sheet is saved after each switching of sheets or ending of sheet processing. HiCAD will not issue any message or confirmation prompt.


Data memory check

If the data memory check is active, a plausibility and consistency check of the P+ID data memory will be executed after each execution of a P+ID function. If an error is found, the following message will be shown

Data error (P+ID)! If possible, execute UNDO.

If you called a P+ID function previously, select Undo in order to correct the error.

The data memory check should always be active. Exception: Editing of incorrect sheets, where the continuous error messages disturb the working process.
