Open Plant P&ID Grid and lock settings

 

Placement snap is dictated by Lock Settings

Values from this drawing settings dialog are saved in user config file, not the projects pcf file,

making this a workstation setting, not a project based setting

 

 

If changed to By Comp, uses custom attributes to determine what type of settings for comp being placed. 

As an example, a valve’s default comp snap is Nearest, with grid off.  Probably reducer also.

 

In runs have

            <BMF_CAD_LOCK_SETTINGS xmlns="bmf.01.07">

                <AXIS_START_ANGLE>0</AXIS_START_ANGLE>

                <AXIS_LOCK_ANGLE>90</AXIS_LOCK_ANGLE>

                <SNAP_MODE>8</SNAP_MODE>

                <SNAP_DIVISOR>1</SNAP_DIVISOR>

                <GRID_LOCK>True</GRID_LOCK>

                <SNAP_LOCK>True</SNAP_LOCK>

                <AXIS_LOCK>False</AXIS_LOCK>

            </BMF_CAD_LOCK_SETTINGS>

 

Note: with System values

With Nearest, it ignores grid.

 

 

With Keypoint it doesn’t ignore grid

 

This System part is general power platform logic.

 

 

Default for all, i.e. if not overridden is

            <BMF_CAD_LOCK_SETTINGS xmlns="bmf.01.03">

                <AXIS_START_ANGLE>0</AXIS_START_ANGLE>

                <AXIS_LOCK_ANGLE>90</AXIS_LOCK_ANGLE>

                <SNAP_MODE>8</SNAP_MODE>

                <SNAP_DIVISOR>2</SNAP_DIVISOR>

                <GRID_LOCK>False</GRID_LOCK>

                <SNAP_LOCK>False</SNAP_LOCK>

                <AXIS_LOCK>False</AXIS_LOCK>

            </BMF_CAD_LOCK_SETTINGS>
