Cannot Map Field Instruments to Plant 3D Drawings

I have added a Pressure gauge in my P&Id but when I try to place the instrument from the Line List a error message is displayed that This p&id class cannot be mapped to 3D class. Why is it that way, and is there any other way to map such instruments.

Hi,

To map filed instruments you will need to undertake the following operations:

  • Have your field instruments identified as classes in P&ID project setup
  • Edit the P3dEnumeration.xml file to include these classes. This file sits under C:\Program Files\Autodesk\....
  • Add field instrument components to your Plant 3D Valves Catalogue and reference the ValveBodyType, ValveAlignmentType, ValveDetailType. (It would be preferable to have an Instrument enumeration file in place of the Valve enumeration file but I am not aware of any). 
  • Add these Catalogue components to your Piping Specs.
  • Map the P&ID classes to the 3D components you have added to your catalogue and specs.

Screencast attached showing the result.

Good Luck

Bruce

2 minute video showing the mapping of Inline Instruments in P&ID to Custom Plant 3D Catalogue components.
Achieving this requires:
  • Having your field instruments identified as classes in P&ID project setup,
  • Editing the P3dEnumeration.xml file to include new values for ValveBodyType, ValveAlignmentType, ValveDetailType for your instrument. This file is located under C:\Program Files\Autodesk|AutoCAD2020\PLNT3D\en-US\....
  • Add field instrument components to your Plant 3D Valves Catalogue and in General Properties reference the ValveBodyType, ValveAlignmentType, ValveDetailType added to the P3dEnumeration file. (It would be preferable to have an Instrument enumeration file in place of the Valve enumeration file but I am not aware of any). 
  • Add these Catalogue components to your Piping Spec(s).
  • In Project Setup use Object Mapping to map the P&ID classes to the 3D components you have added to your catalogue and specs. If using Block based components you will need to run PlantPartConvert, etc etc.
    Good Luck,
    Bruce
