Also you can define various Layer/Color Settings. Of course only one can be active at a given time. As a Layer you can select any Property of the PipeRunComponent class. You can of course create your own Property just for the Layer Control. For the you can use any selection list. Again you can use your own Property using your own Selection List. For each of the values of your Selection List you can define a color. Step 8: Piping Connection Settings The Piping Connection Settings define the rules on how AutoCAD® Plant 3D Objects have to be put together. This is a topic for very very advanced users. You have to do a lot of testing to make any changes. There is a direct correlation between the port properties of your Pipe Run Components and the settings in this dialog. For example: If you put a Valve in a Pipe you have two BV/FL connections. Under Compound Joint it says to insert a Flange for each connection. Then the Simple Joints kicks in. Now we have two FL/FL connections. Because of the Simple Joint setting a Gasket and Bolt Set will be inserted in-between the flanges. So that’s the general idea behind the Joint Setup, but before you make any changes here it is highly recommended that you backup your Project first. In some occasions you even may have to do some editing in the DefaultConnectorsConfig.xml file is located in your Project Folder. Step 9: P&ID Object Mapping PI&D Object Mapping defines which AutoCAD® Plant 3D Object to insert if the user wants to insert an AutoCAD® P&ID Object from the P&ID Line List.
