SPPID_Cannot do and Can do_ for new user



  1. 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.

 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.


  1. 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 
                there’re some data left in the database.

  1. Delete drawing:
Cannot do: You cannot simply delete drawing from Drawing 
                      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)

  1. Pipe data input:
Cannot do: Just simply click the line, and then put the data 
                      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.

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

  1. 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.

Can do: For a new pipe line, re-draw it. For exist pipeline with 
                information, turn the whole line 180°.

  1. Instrumentation data input:
Cannot do: just click the symbol, and then put the every data into 
                      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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. Complete Project:
           Cannot do: In drawing manager, select the Plant, then select Project, then Project Status, then click "Complete Project".
