- Copy/Paste command:
Cannot do: Part of drawings copy/paste is not recommended. It is
possible to lead to duplicate components, and difficult
to fix.
possible to lead to duplicate components, and difficult
to fix.
Can do: Single element copy/paste is ok, only concern is: after
click paste, the component is covered on the original
one, you need use the move command to move to the
place that you want. Part of drawing, please make

an assembly.
- Delete items:
Cannot do: Directly delete OPC and pipe run.
Can do: Delete OPC to stockpile, it can be reused; Delete pipe
run to a “delete drawing”, normally it won’t be reused.
It will shows on LDT: Deleted. Except OPC and LDT,
everything could be deleted from Model, in case

everything could be deleted from Model, in case
there’re some data left in the database.
- Delete drawing:
Cannot do: You cannot simply delete drawing from Drawing
manager.
manager.
Can do: delete every item in the drawing follow the instruction 2,
then delete the drawing from drawing manager.
(Sometimes, this function is blocked this to drafters
by the administrator)

- Pipe data input:
Cannot do: Just simply click the line, and then put the data
into line property.
into line property.
Can do: Put the different segment break first, then put the data
in. for example: insulation break, pipe end break,
plant break, etc.

plant break, etc.
Or: upload data to drawing from excel, then find the
inconsistency on the drawing, put the segment break on.

- Flow arrow label:
Cannot do: label the line, then waiting for the “…” appear, and
then change the arrow direction. It will affect the ‘from’
and ‘to’ information on the LDT.

and ‘to’ information on the LDT.
Can do: For a new pipe line, re-draw it. For exist pipeline with
information, turn the whole line 180°.

- Instrumentation data input:
Cannot do: just click the symbol, and then put the every data into
instrument property.
instrument property.
Can do: make a loop first, for example: P-1, then click the
instrumentation, connects it with loop. ‘P’ is called
measured variable code, ‘1’ is called tag sequence number.
Sometimes, there is P-1A, P-1B, ‘A’ and ‘B’ is called tag
suffix. It is loop suffix, not instrument suffix. We need create
two loops.

- Instrumentation loops:
Cannot do: you cannot just click the loops in the stockpile, then
delete it.

Can do: Make sure no other drawing’s instrument connected with
this loop, then you can delete it from stockpile.

- Engineering Data Editor:
Cannot do: do not change the data in the EDE.
Can do: click the item in EDE, then change it in the property, then
fresh the EDE, you will see the change.
