Wiki Page: Default Annotation of Pipe Run with Pipeline Tag

Applies To Product(s): OpenPlant PID Version(s): 08.11.10.XXX Environment: Windows 7 (64 bit) Area: Customization Subarea: Original Author: Harpreet Singh, Bentley Product Advantage Group 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 with OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Imperial schema. For Imperial Project refer Steps 10 to 13. For KKS Project Launch Class Editor. Go to Tools > Options. In " Options" window, click on Add and add the directories path as shown below. From Class Editor interface, click Open and select OpenPlant_PID schema. Click on Open again. Right click on OpenPlant PID schema and from drop down select Supplemental Schema. Select OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_KKS schema and click Open. Go to PIPING_NETWORK_SEGMENT (Pipe Run) class and add a new property PIPELINE_NAME. 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. Comments or Corrections?
