A typical is a user defined, graphical representation, of a group of objects and their relationships. On a drawing, a typical marks the position of where similar groups of objects should appear but have been hidden from view. For example, on a drawing a typical that contains a series of pipes, a pump, and valves, informs the viewer that at this position on the drawing there is more than one group of objects that consist of a series of pipes, a pump, and valves, but have been hidden from view to make the reading of the drawing clearer. To know exactly what the hidden objects are the viewer needs to switch views, from the primary view to the typical view.  In the typical view the viewer sees all the typicals and their attributes. Though only the primary typical appears on the primary view, all the typicals and their relationships with the primary view are maintained. A typical can be repeated any number of times and can contain any objects/symbols depicted in the P&ID symbol catalog used to convey the logical plant model, including off-page connectors.

Auxiliary Graphics cannot be placed or viewed on the Typical layer.
