Overview

Custom component build through Component Manager can also be Mirrored or Rotated or both while placement with enabling a couple of properties. This is a simple customization yet very useful as this is a basic requirement for every User each time a new Custom component is created.

Steps to Accomplish

1. Open PID 01.07 schema and supplement it with supplemental Imperial schema in Bentley Class Editor.

2. Search & Select newly created Custom Equipment/Component class which is to be Mirror Enabled by following below steps.

(Override & enable Default Values as TRUE for both the Properties in Bracket)

3. Open OPPID and check for the changes, it will work.
(For both X & Y directions)

4. To have it Rotate enabled, edit below Property (ROTATE_ENABLED) by performing similar steps as above.

5. Open OpenPlant PID and check to see Rotate enabled while placement.
