You can modify the items placed in a drawing in several ways. Obviously, you can move items or groups of items from one location to another in the drawing. If you want to change the orientation of items, you can mirror and rotate most items. You can also move groups of items to another open drawing in the same plant hierarchy.

Depending on the rules defined for particular items in the drawing, limits exist for possible placements. For example, specific trays can be flagged for placement inside a piece of equipment, and you can only move these inside the equipment. Rule Manager defines rules that determine the way that model items interact during manipulation. The software processes rules defined for items as you move them, as well as when you place them.

You can resize or scale parametric items by using their parametric handles. Resizing parametric items maintains certain characteristics of the item, such as angles between elements of the symbol, while it allows modification of other characteristics of the item, such as the length of its sides. Many items are now scalable, too, and can be resized by using their scale handles.

You can modify the properties of an item by selecting the item and changing individual properties in the Properties window. Also you can edit some item properties in the Engineering Data Editor in the Design window by selecting a table cell and filling in the appropriate information. You can select an entire row by clicking on the corresponding row number to the left of the table and then viewing the properties in the Properties window and editing them there.

If you want to remove an item from a drawing, you can delete the item. If the plant model requires the deleted item, the item appears in the stockpile for later placement. If the plant model does not require the item, it disappears from the drawing completely. You can permanently remove required items from the plant model using the Delete from Model command.

  • When modifying or setting the fluid code properties of a line, you always select the fluid code from a select list. If you do not set the fluid code first, you will see all possible fluid codes. If you set the fluid system prior to setting the fluid code, then only the fluid codes applicable to the type of fluid system display. To redisplay a complete list of available fluid code values, delete the property for the fluid system, and then the complete list of fluid code values appears.

  • If the Properties window is not open, you can display it by selecting an item and then selecting Edit > Properties.
