Make nominal diameter and insulation thickness usable in pipeline name

Currently, the attributes “Nominal Diameter” and “Insulation Thickness” cannot be used in the pipeline name, as this causes several errors.Our pipeline names and those of our customers typically look like this:[Number]-[Nominal Size]-[Specificatio...

Align/Simplify Nominal Diameter and Design Size Behavior Across PID and Modeler

Nominal diameter and design size behave differently in OpenPlant PID and OpenPlant Modeler, causing duplicate data entry and a high risk of mismatched pipeline sizes between 2D and 3D. Current behavior In PID: Design size Drop-down PickList....

Auto Tagging Across Multiple Sheets

Current behavior We use a system code as part of our tag setup (for example, system code "CW"). Some of our designs span multiple drawing sheets/files that all use the same system code. On Sheet 1, the autotag feature works correctly. The pipeli...

Associated Items Require an "Undefined" value

When working in OPPID and in OPM. You can create a pipeline where an Associated Item has <None> set as the value. Assuming the Associated Item you are setting is in the Name property expression for Pipeline. When user selects <None> In...

Improved Raceway Selection Across Entire Cable Route

Problem Statement In the current BRCM workflow, cables that belong to a circuit are typically routed through a common raceway path using the Includes option in Cable Manager. While this approach works in many cases, there are scenarios where it do...

Insulation Manipulation and Control of Placement

Please can we request an enhancement on the way insulation is currently implemented in OPM. Currently, the insulation is placed at the pipeline creation level. If you create a new pipeline, you specify the material and thickness. This is then plac...

Able to Place Nozzle to inline Components like Air Vibrator.

Air Vibrators are Inline Components placed along a pipeline with Nozzle Connections for Air Supply/Out. Currently Inline Equipment are used as workaround. It would be nice if OPPID is enhanced to have this functionality. See Attachment for reference.
