multiple pipeline id issues

[sundaaram]

I created one main header process line in the AutoCAD Plant 3D P&ID: 2024-001-150-CWS-S52-H. After that, I created three subheader lines with the same service (DRAAWING NUMBER, LINE ID, MEDIA, SERVICE, INSULATION) but different line sizes:

1. 2024-001-100-CWS-S52-H

2. 2024-001-050-CWS-S52-H

3. 2024-001-025-CWS-S52-H

I grouped all the subheader lines with the main header line. However, when I extract the data into an Excel file, the Line Number/ID column displays all the lines, including the main header and all the subheader lines. This is confusing.

My requirement is to display only the main header line ID, which represents the maximum pipeline size. Does anyone have a good idea about how to resolve this issue?

I am waiting for suggestion or new idea about above problem from Autodesk or any one from in the world

My only thought would be to use the Nominal Diameter property in the Pipe Line Group to set the Maximum Pipe Diameter and create another calculated property that recreates your line number using this Nominal Diameter then export that property to Excel. You would need to manually input the Nominal Diameter, but being that a Group Property it would be entered on one piece a pipe in the group and populate the entire group.

It would be possible to Automate the Nominal Diameter though if we could use If Then Else statements in Calculated properties. You might want to vote for that idea here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-plant-3d-p-id-ideas/calculated-property-if-then-else-and-comp...

BTW - questions like this should be on the user boards and not the Ideas/Wishlist Page.
