P&ID PAINTER

[Anonymous]

Hello everybody,

I've a problem, when I export to Autocad DWG with P&ID Painter enabled, the P&ID Painter style is NOT applied. 

This problem does not exist when I print.

Dear @Anonymous,

The P&ID Painter function is only available in the Plant P&ID (3D) because the display sets are controlled from the database.

After ExportToAutocad, there is no connection to the database and the P&ID Painter no longer works.
Printing with P&ID Painter settings only works from Plant P&ID (3D).

knowledge network says that painter size is applied to the export file ….

Hello, 

Has there been a resolution for this issue? I am having the same issue with my project? Autocad says it should work and it doesn't seem to be working. What is the point of the Painter if it can't print?

Dear @Anonymous ,

P&ID Painter works for printing in PDF but not for the EXPORTTOAUTOCAD.

Tested with AutoCAD Plant 3D 2020

Same issue.  I know I've done it before, but I can't figure it out now for the life of me.  Paint P&ID is enabled, but my exports are all the base colors when Painter is inactive.
