SPPID_Some components changed into white color

It suppose to be related with the line define when we draw it by Smart Sketch.
Haven't yet confirm.

SPPID_When some component can not be replaced

For example: You want to change a ball valve into gate valve, just click "replace mode". but if you want to ball valve drain into gate valve drain, probably it won't work. At this moment, you may disconnect the pipeline with the drain, then click "replace mode", it will works. it also work when some valves can not be replaced.

SPPID_Flow unit converter tip

Engineer want Capacity: 697 dm3/s (11051 gallon/min)

When we input 697 dm3/s, it shows 11048 gallon/min automatically.
Normally, people will think the unit covert in SPPID is wrong. but if we put 697.2 dm3/s. It will shows 11051 gallon/min exactly.

SPPID_EDE view setting for LDT

At least there're 3 items should be lifted out.
1. do not report.
2. connectors zero length.
3. supply by.

SPPID_How to move one component to another one

Sometimes, we need move one component connect to another one; in another word, reduce the line between these two component into "zero".
The correct way is:
1. make sure everything is on grid.
2. click one component, then click move.
3. when the arrow point is close to another component, the line will shows red, then you can see clearly the connect point. just release your left mouse key, it will automatically connect to the point.
4. check the property, the "connector zero length" will show "True".

SPPID_How to define the line between Control valve and Reducer

There are two lines between control valve and reducer.
In the real construction work, these two lines are not exist. but on P&ID drawings, it need shows.
The problem is: if we define it " do not report false", these lines will showing on LDT; it we define it "do not report true", it will affect LDT from and to. I found the easy way is define the "do not report" blank. when we generate LDT, we only pick up "do not report false".

SPPID_LDT crushed in the middle of work

Sometimes the LDT report crushed in the middle of work.
when we redo another one by same name. It shows us: "that excel sheet is still running. you can not replace it."
We need go to Task Manager. Find "EXCEL.EXE", then click "End Process".

You will be ok to redo another report.
