P&ID Painter Settings issue / Losing color when update service list

[tuliobarata]

Hi all,

I'm using Plant 2020 and trying to make a list with all my fluids/services used on my PIDs, and I'm editing the existing PipeLineGroup "Service" to add them. But when I update the PipeLineGroup "Service", the painter settings doesn't update automatically, so I have to force the update going to "Assign Color By", choose another group, then come back to group "Service", but when I do it, I lose all the previously assigned colors for the list.

Is there a way to update the line group and keep the colors already assigned ? I'he tried to find this list with colors in any XML files but I didnt, just found the StringTables\en-US.xml but is just the the pipeLineGroup without the colors.

Thanks.

Dear @tuliobarata ,

I know this problem too. Unfortunately, there is no way to move the P&ID Painter afterwards.
All that remains is to recreate the P&ID Painter configuration.

@h_eger  can I find these colors described in any XML or another type o file ? Somewhere easier to edit than in the ProjectSetup window. 

Thanks.

Dear @tuliobarata ,

No, the configuration is only saved in the ProcessPower DB under the tables PnPPainterStyles and PnPPainterColorSettings and in NO file regardless of the file extension!
Changes only possible via the configuration

Well, then lets wait for some improvement on that item.

Thanks for your help @h_eger !
