Riser Diagram Question

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to have AutoCAD Electric link a riser diagram symbol with a cable, a conduit. the device in the schamtic, and the device in the P & ID. A typical project for the company I work for is 300+ pages and 6 months long. Because of the large scope of the projects we need a way to link all the thousands of componets together so a change on one will change all.

Thanks

You can link panel layout symbols (a.k.a.
footprints) to the schematic symbol equivalent, which will enable bidirectional
updates capability.  You can also link P&ID symbols to their schematic
equivalent via the Peer-To-Peer relationship functionality, which takes
advantage of an attribute in the symbols called WDTAGALT.  The P&ID
symbol will contain the schematic symbol's tag as its WDTAGALT value, while the
schematic symbol will contain the P&ID symbol's tag as its WDTAGALT
value.  Again with this simply link the two become one and bidirectional
update capability is enabled.  This is covered in the AutoCAD Electrical
Help system under Advanced Productivity.  It's very powerful.
