How do you work with PID double direction flow lines?

[Barbara.Davis]

Hi All,

Occasionally, we have lines that have a double flow.

See attached: orange is a mock up, purple is from project = both 2d basic Autocad.

I'm wondering how this is handled in 3d Plant PnID - I haven't found any information explains how to work with these types of lines. 

Thank you

There's two ways to deal with it, which you pick is dependent on how you want your data structured.

1. create a new flow arrow that has the graphic of two flow arrows pointing away from each other.  This works for correct plots but the data is bad, i.e. the From and To properties of the line isn't correct.

2. create two lines, branching from their ends, pointing away from each other, same line number, again correct on paper, and the To or From will be correct, but the other will show the line itself.

We chose to use method 2 after not liking the report data that method one gives.
