Share Piping Specifications

You can use the pipe specifications from CADWorx Plant in P&ID. Click Edit Config File in the CADWorx P&ID Setup dialog box and change the value of SpecificationDirectory to match the directory used in CADWorx Plant. For more information, see Configuration File Dialog Box.

Create Specification-Driven Drawings

You can also change the value of SpecControl in the configuration File dialog box to create specification-driven P&ID drawings. Information from the specifications are then automatically created as P&ID symbols are drawn.

Administrators can require the use of specifications while drawing P&IDs by changing the value of SpecControl to 1. You can then only place components that are in the spec.

Administrators can also set the SpecControl to 2. This requires a P&ID symbol to have a program code defined in the Flow_alt.dat file in addition to the spec requirements of SpecControl at 1.

Administrators can also enforce size limitations listed in the spec by changing the value of SpecSizeOverride to 1.

For more information, see Create Specification-Driven Drawings.

  • CADWorx P&ID specifications are delivered to the [Product Folder]\P&ID\Spec folder. CADWorx Plant also provides specifications delivered to the [Product Folder]\Plant\Spec folder. If P&ID and Plant are used together, you should select specifications from a single directory. For more information, see Configuration File Dialog Box and SpecificationDirectory.
