Background
There is a requirement from user that when he places any pipeline in the drawing, it should be automatically annotated like other components. Since pipeline is a logical group and not a graphical component therefore it can't be annotated but Pipe_Run related to that particular can be annotated with the Pipeline Tag. This article will explain the steps required to annotate the pipe run with pipeline tag.
Step to Accomplish
- Launch Class Editor and load OpenPlant_PID schema.
- Supplement it with OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Imperial schema.
Note: If you are making changes to KKS project, then supplemental schema should be OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_KKS. - Go to PIPING_NETWORK_SEGMENT (Pipe Run) class and add a new property PIPELINE_TAG.
- Add "Calculated ECProperty Specification" custom attribute on it and add below EC Expression.
this.GetRelatedInstance("PIPELINE_HAS_SEGMENT:1:PIPING_NETWORK_SYSTEM").NAME - Add Category and Annotation Custom attribute as well on this property.
- Save the changes in schema and exit from class editor.
Verify the Result
- Launch OpenPlant PID and open a drawing.
- Create a pipeline and place it on the drawing. As soon as the pipe run is placed annotation is linked to cursor, place the annotation.
- Place a major pipeline in vertical direction, in Place Annotation window check for Rotate on placement.
- Define a origin point to place the annotation and rotate as desired.
