P&ID calculated properties

[KenFoysterWSP]

Hi,

I have created several P&ID Off-Page connectors (OPC) calculated properties, to overcome a limitation of the product when building the OPC blocks.

The calculated properties work very well at placement/connected to a line; the issue is when a property used to build the calculated property is changed. The property value does not update automatically. 

Is there a way to automate the update of the values? Currently the only way is to disconnect and reconnect the OPCs.

@KenFoysterWSP ,

I think you should achieve your desired result with the ‘PLANTREFRESHACQPROPERTY’ command.

But be careful if you run this function over the whole project, you should have a cup of coffee, it might take a few minutes.

Thank you for your response. The solution works well to update the acquisition values.

After further investigation, I have noticed the visual representation of the values in the OPC is not updating, despite the value being correct in the properties panel. It is as the block is not updating or refreshing. Can this be forced or automated?

Note: the Page Connector From is a calculation.
