Would like a Progress Message displayed during PlantSight synchronization

Whenever you push drawing records to PlantSight, it will prompt you with the Difference Dialog. Once we click on Sync it took time to reflect the dialog for "Please enter comments" but during that phase (difference dialog to comment dialog) there ...

Allow Multiple selection for changing pipeline type

Currently the pipeline type can be changed for only one pipeline at a time because it does not allow multiple selection. It would be nice if we had the ability to change the pipeline type for multiple pipelines in one go.

Merge Pipe Runs tool should merge non colinear segments

Currently in OPPID the Merge Pipe Runs tool only merges colinear segments. See attached video of how you need to workaround the limitation. It would be helpful if the Merge Pipe Runs tool could merge non-colinear segments as well. By enhancing thi...

Add a key-in to remove an Associated Item value (SYSTEM)

In some situations, I may wish to remove an associated item property (i.e. SYSTEM) from existing components and documents. For example, I may want to reuse existing documents for a new project that has a different tagging convention and doesn't ne...

Place Existing Signal Page Connector include column for connected instrument line type

Place Existing Signal Page Connector should include a column for connected instrument line type. If there were multiple Signal Page Connectors available, it is currently impossible to distinguish between pneumatic, capillary, electrical, etc. Sinc...

Automatically reposition flow arrows to avoid overlapping inline components

In situations where the flow arrow overlaps a component on the pipeline it would be nice if the software would automatically reposition the flow arrow to avoid the overlap if possible. If there is insufficient space to display the flow arrow it wo...

Actuator orientation for Relief Valve (Angle Valve)

The idea would be to be able to change the direction of the actuator when we place it on relief Valve (Angle Valve). For the moment actuator is placed aligned to the axis of the valve exit, but in real life it will be aligned to the axis of the va...

Ability to Have two Instrument Parametric Annotation With Bubble

In some cases, an instrument device has two different Performance styles (local panel and Distributed Control System). This means we need to be able to place two Instrument Parametrics (bubbles) with the same code.

Would like ability to rotate elongated Instrument Bubbles in the vertical direction to save design space

As a piping designer, I use elongated shaped instrument bubbles and sometimes need to rotate them in the vertical direction to save drafting space and fit them in between pipelines. It would be nice to have a way of changing this to the vertical d...

Unit Classification property in the OPPID KKS workset should support a pick list selection.

It would be nice if the Unit Classification property in the OPPID KKS workset had a database selection dialog when placing an Equipment, so that a user doesn't need to manually enter value. While placing such equipment in OPM, the Unit Classificat...
