If you have a large number of loops with tag numbers that have identical properties, you can assign block using the automatic block assignment method. For details, see Associate Instrument Blocks Automatically (via Instrument Type).

  1. Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer and then expand the hierarchy to the tag level in the Loops folder.

  2. Select and right-click tag numbers to which you want assign blocks and select Actions > Associate Instrument Blocks.

    • If there is a large number of blocks in the data window, under Find block, select a column heading and then type a value. For example, if you select Block as a column heading and type block name Control, in the data window, the software locates the block whose name starts with Control.

    • If you want to display only specific blocks in the data window, select Filter and specify a filter parameter.

  3. In the data window, select the blocks that you want to associate and then select OK.

  4. In the Specify Drawing Pages for Blocks Assignment dialog, under Page, use spinners to specify pages on which you want the selected blocks to appear after loop drawing generation.

  • The Specify Drawing Pages for Blocks Assignment dialog opens when the source loop number is assigned to a multi- page drawing or multi-drawing.

  • In the Loops folder of the Domain Explorer, the instrument blocks that you assigned appear under the tag numbers that you selected. These blocks are indicated with PPM All Outputs Graphic.
