multiline valve tag p&id

[phillcooper]

is it possible to have a valve tag on a p&id which is multiline instead of single line?

If you modify the default Tag Format and add additonal "subparts", you'll of course get your additional info on one line.

But you could create a new custom annotation to place as a second line of data for a valve. Or, you could just modify one of the exiting ones, like the standard "Tag" and add a second line using a data field so you can just place it once.

Just for a test I created a new "Custom Valve Tag" in my project. I set the fields to display my area and unit numbers and it worked by placing it below the default tag annotation (see attached)

thanks for the reply.

what you have done is exactly what i am wanting to do, however i am quite new to the software and am not sure how to do what you have said.

could you provide a step by step guide as to how to do it?

thanks

I'm attaching a guide to add a multi-line valve tag.

Keep in mind I'm just using an example of adding a new data property to the hand valves class, but you could use just about any field you want.
