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. Show More

Ability to enter item codes to individual part sizes in Catalog Editor

As a spec writer I need the ability to add custom item codes to each part size in the catalog. Preferably from within Catalog Editor interface.   Example:   1. Launch AutoCAD Plant 3D 2016 Spec Editor  2. Open ASME Pipes and Fittings Catalog  3. Click on Catalog Editor tab  4. Select any part from Catalog Browser 5. Click on Sizes tab in Piping Component Editor    Note: You cannot edit the item code for the individual part size. Clicking "Show Advanced Editing Table" button does not display the Item Code property field.   The workaround is using a filter on the catalog selections and exporting to MS Excel. Enter item codes and re-import. Accept changes. Show More

Flange Definitions and Maximum Pipe Lengths

There should be an easy way in the spec editor to have your pipe automaticly included flanges as part of the pipe and therfore not another item in the Bill of Materials.  Also, can there should be an easy way to define a maximum cut length?   Thanks. Show More
