AutoCAD Plant 3D

[#1]

Anyone help direct me in adding a custom field in the <equipment> class settings?

inside <Plant 3D Class Definitions> inside <Piping and Equipment>

I wanted to add a few catagories for Aquaculture and the specific equipment that I use,

so I can have specific fields show up in the equipment reports.

Select the Equipment class and at the far right you should see an Add button.  You can pick your property type in the following dialog.  If you choose selection list, you can create a new selection list in the next dialog.

That is just adding a <property>

I want to add <JLH Equipment> along side <filter> <furnace> <Global Equipment> etc

I use <Filter> < Tank> <Pump> and mostly <Misc Equipment> - but they are quite broad I want to add my own equipment catagory and for the specialized equipment then add my own properties.

There's no UI for this. Probably you can try editing the database to add a new class, but i'm not sure what is the repercussion.

Hi,

Although there is no UI to add new classes, it is really quite straightforward to add a new class directly to the database.

I have already documented the procedure here: http://www.cadlinecommunity.co.uk/WhitePapers/WhitePaper.aspx?ScoId=3663d1b1-7c60-4796-9e59-2c34f34c...

Please feel free to download a ccopy.

Thanks!  I will go over this.

This proceedure works, but it is for SQL Lite.  What about SQL Express?

Hi Andy,

As asked on the post below, what about the procedure for a project running on SQL Server ?

I tried to adapt your procedure but with no success.

Thank you in advance,
