Calculated fields are not in the project set up available

Calculated fields are not in the project set up available

I have some fields which I want to calculate within the P&ID. For example the test pressure in some projects are always the design pressure * factor for

all pipes. 

To be able to do this I have to go into one drawing and use the Definecalproperties tool to do this. Unfortunately these fields are not available in 

the project set up like other fields created in the project set up. Acquisition of this field is not possible.

 

In addition users which are not knowing about the set up will never find out where the calculations are coming from.

 

So my suggestion is that the caluclated fields should be available in the "add property" menu. Then I would be created there in the project set up

and would be easy to follow up.

 

See attached picture.

You can easily do that with the PLANTDEFINECALCPROPERTIES command, there you can do quite a bit of math / composition of properties.

Starting from AutoCAD Plant 3D 2023 RTM, you can now customize calculated properties from Project Setup.
