Pipe Spec Object Mapping

[Anonymous]

Hello,

When one goes to the Property Mapping tab of the Pipe Spec Object Mapping menu, there is a dropdown list allowing you to select a pipe spec property to map to a P&ID property. How can I add to this list?

I edited my pipe spec to include a property called TEST. I also added a class called TEST_CLASS under the P&ID Class Definitions--->Pipe Line Segments menu. But when I go the the object mapping menu and select the dropdown beside the TEST_CLASS property, the TEST property is not showing up in the list of options. I assumed the list was populated based on whatever specs you had imported into the project.

Hi Andrew,

to make a right relation (mapping) between a P&ID symbol and 3D Object in the piping SPEC? you should follow the following Steps:

The first step you should creat the 3d Model of the new component in "inch", convert it to a bloc and usure that the unit is set at "inch" (in case of Metric/inch workspace).

* using the option"PLANTPARTCONVERT" add the attachment point. the second step is to add this component to the cataloque using the option « custom-Autocad DWG block based graphics »  NOTE : « Valve body Type » is the same to be used on  .XML file to creat the  « MAPPING » between P&ID and the 3D Model added to catalogue.

* to get the right size in the 3D MODEL ensure that « Nominal diametre » is in inche and « Matching pipe OD » is in mm.

* select the bloc and save

* usure that the spec is updated.

* run the  « Project SETUP » « P&ID class definition » «engineering items » « Inline assets » « Hand valves » add a new component with the same name « valve body type ». assigned on catalogue.

* select a P&ID bloc for the new component and click next.

* add the propreties of   the new P&ID component in « Edit symbols » (insert scale, alignment type...).

* click « add to palette » to add the new P&ID symbole to « PID PIP » palette . now you must close PLANT 3D to create the mapping between P&ID and catalogue. run to the P3dEnumeration XML file. (be carefull when editting this file) x:\xxxxx xxx\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20XX\PLNT3D\en-US\« P3dEnumeration.xml». on <VALVE BODY TYPE> copy a line and change « GlobalName » and« LocalName » as the same on « Valve body Type » assigned on catalogue.

* save as administrator and exit.

* open Plant3D and run to <<P&ID object mapping>>

* select the new component name click <<add>>

* select the propreties to be mapped.

* click ok now you can draw a P&ID with the new component an you can place it using <P&IDlinelist> in the the 3D space.

Best regards

I have this same issue. When you add a custom property to the pipe spec such as test pressure or corrosion allowance, there doesnt seem to be any way to access these properties in your p&id line properties. The p&id object property mapping feature has a drop down which doesnt show any of the newly added custom properties and there doesnt seem to be a way to add entries to this drop down list.
