P+ID Settings in the Configuration Editor (P+ID)

HiCAD uses a central Configuration Editor, where the configurations for all HiCAD modules can be defined - either company-specific or user specific.

For the P+ID module, the following settings are relevant:


Use DMO filter during symbol insertion

When a symbol is added in a P+ID, HiCAD will check whether a data mask object filter matches this symbol. If this is the case, the attribute values of the corresponding template will be copied to the attributes of the symbol.

If you do not want this, you have the following options: You can either remove all data mask object filters from the project, or deactivate this mechanism globally in the Configuration Editor, at Plant Engineering > P+ID > Use DMO filter during symbol insertion.

Restore last state of editing after crash

In the Configuration Editor at Plant Engineering > P+ID you can specify the procedure after a crash.

If you deactivate the Restore last state of editing after crash checkbox here, HiCAD will not search for files from previous sessions in the working directory. If the checkbox has been activated, the following query will be displayed:

Working directory contains data from a disrupted editing action. Do you want HiCAD to try to load this editing state?
