Select Window > New > Drawing.
-
Edit the drawing as needed.
-
A new Drawing view is not the same as a new drawing. You create new drawings in Smart P&ID Drawing Manager. See Smart P&ID Drawing Manager Help.
-
You can have as many Drawing views open for a drawing as needed.
-
Drawing views are named according to the name of the drawing file. For example, the first drawing view created for the Pipeline.pid file is named Pipeline.pid:1. Each subsequent drawing view is assigned the next consecutive number.
-
If the software gives indications that a drawing is in use when it is not, quit all Smart P&ID applications, and then open the Windows Task Manager. In Task Manager, search for an extra draft.exe process. Select it and select End Task. See Microsoft Windows Help.
