Configuring P&Id Base Objects; Workflow - Siemens COMOS Operating Manual

Procedure
1. Click the "Process engineering > PipeSpec Manager" category.
2. Optional: Change the defaults in the "Link between P&ID and pipe part catalog" control
group.
11.7 Configuring P&ID base objects
11.7.1

Workflow

The P&ID catalog supplied with the database contains all settings necessary for the link
between the P&ID catalog, the pipe part catalog, and 3D.
Procedure
If you have created your own P&ID catalog or made major changes or additions to the catalog
supplied with the database, you must ensure that all objects have the settings necessary for
the link.
To do this, proceed as follows for every P&ID base object:
1. Check whether the P&ID base object is defined as a request:
Properties, "System settings" tab, "Implement requests" control group: The "Request"
option is activated.
2. If the P&ID base object has the "3D geometry" tab, delete or rename it.
Reason: The 3D functionality should not be derived from the P&ID object but instead from
the pipe part catalog implementation.

Description
Defines the attribute in which the pipe spec of a P&ID
object is specified.
Defines which attribute saves the input nominal diame‐
ter of the P&ID object.
Defines which attribute saves the output nominal diam‐
eter of the P&ID object.
Fixed programmed. Changes have no effect.
Defines which attribute saves the function code of the
pipe part catalog object.
