Command line: COMBINELINE

Combines a group of process line segments into a single process line.

Process lines can become segmented when:

  • A drawing is inserted into a database project.

  • A line is copied with the CAD platform COPY or ARRAY commands. The software cannot determine if the line is one process line or multiple process lines and segments the line as it is copied.

The copied segments are inserted in the tables of the database as individual rows. This command combines the segments into one process line on one row in the LINE table of the project database.

The order of segment selection determines the process flow direction of the combined line. For example, a process line runs between vessels V-101 and V-102. You select the process line segment closest to V-102 and progress to V-101. The software determines the flow direction as going from V-102 to V-101. If the direction needs to be reversed, use Edit . For more information, see Edit and Editing Line Component Dialog Box.

When a single segment is selected, a dialog box requests that you select the direction.

Process flow direction only affects process lines (type 301). Vessel (type 304) and mechanical components (type 305) determine the direction. For more information, see Edit.
