With PDS™ 2D, before you place an equipment group, you must identify the equipment group before adding equipment components to a piece of equipment. Moving components from one equipment group to another also requires that you manually regroup components so that they belong to the destination equipment.
With Smart P&ID whenever you place a component on a piece of equipment, the software automatically creates a group relationship among the equipment and its components. This guideline also exists for placing equipment labels and equipment component labels.
