IgnoredObjects - Specifies the objects under the required hierarchy level that the software ignores during import.
The software ignores the objects based on specific values of one or more properties. To ignore an object, you must specify the object name, property name, and property value under the required hierarchy level. You can ignore both 2D and 3D objects by specifying them in the required mapping file delivered in the [Install Folder]\SmartPlant\P&ID Design Validation\Mappers folder.
By default, the software ignores the objects that are not mapped in the corresponding
mapping file.
Use the following syntax to specify which objects the software should ignore during
import:
<IgnoredObjects>
<ObjectName PropertyName="value" PropertyName="value" ... />
</IgnoredObjects>
In the following example syntax, the software imports all the mapped piping components under the pipe run hierarchy.
The software can ignore objects based on specific property values. In the following example, the software ignores all blind flange and cap components during import.
You can also require the software to ignore objects using a combination of required properties and values. In the following example, the software ignores all the pipe runs with Bore values 0.75 in and 1 in, or the pipe runs that use 1C0031 specification, while importing 3D-ISO data.
Use an exclamation mark (!) as the separator character for multiple values of a single property.
