Please I need your help urgently. I can not continue working in AutoCAD Plant 3D 2012 because I do not know how to solve the following problems.
I would like to exchange ideas with experts and users via email
Thanks for your help, Roldan Duarte rduarte@cantv.net roldan.duarte99@gmail.com

1. That would be one way of doing it, but currently, you can see where the nozzle will be placed and edit the dimensions using direct input. I happen to like the current way better.
2. Which columns are you trying to change values on?
3. You can customize your nozzle catalog to include more sizes.
4. The equipment class list is not complete, but personally I don't think it could be. You have to figure how you want to organize your equipment with the current list.
5. You can create an equipment templates so that you do not have to create the same vessel multiple times.
6. Package design is outside of the intended scope of the Equipment modeler. While it would be handy, I think the developer's would not be the most suitable package designer's, eh?
7. I have not seen this error before. Could you start a separate post and we can see if anyone else as run across it?
8. If you could start a separate post, and upload the block, we could all take a look at it and see what is going on. At first guess, it sounds like nothing was saved when you created the block. Perhaps you can navigate to where you saved the block, open it, and see if it is blank.
Hello,
I do agree.
Another problem is: there is no option to edit a converted Equipment, Pipe Suport and Attachment Items.
If you have to change something, you will have to re imput all data including nozzels, besides losing all pipe connections.
It should be possible to remove specific items from the attachment.
FYI, we just posted an article on how to get your own equipment into the menu:

OK, trying to build a vessel in autocad plant. I can click on the vessel to add a nozzle but I cant seem to delete a nozzle. So I have friggen 10 nozzles and counting. WTH>?
I watch the video and theres a tab for adding or substracting nozzles but not with this version 2013???
****, by the time I get proficient Ill be pushing daisies.
Hold Ctrl and click on the nozzle. You can delete it then. Plant 3D uses the Ctrl+click for components that are group with other components, like nozzles and connector components.
Dear Sir,
The ctrl click on the nozzle does not do anything. There's a pop up that states "ctrl + click to edit" but nothing happens except it prompting me the same thing - like there's no function call.
Should I go back to 2012? I'm stuck and have to get a drawing out but now every vertical tank I put in has 10 nozzles (and counting) I can't seem to edit?
Thanks
Ctrl+click and then hit the Delete button on your keyboard.
I figured it out. I had to switch from Realistic to 2D Wireframe, then I could ctrl click and then the ctrl+click would allow me to delete the nozzle. I suspect this is a bug since I could go back to realistic and the ctrl+click would work for a couple of deletes, but then the function would stop until I would switch back to 2d wireframe. Wierd.
