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...

Ability to increment tags based on a combination of fields

Currently the software only increments tags based on the number field. Would be nice if we could increment values based on a combination of fields. For example, a "Train" Plant breakdown structure property could be included such that when the numb...

NUMBER property should support user defined number of digits

This is a request to have the NUMBER property on components in all Open Plant products (Modeler, PID, Isometrics and Support Engineering), to have a user defined required number of digits. Requirements The following criteria are required: A user a...

PID Property must reflect the change when the value is updated in the external datasource.

Would like to fetch a property from an external database and assign it to a specific component in OpenPlant PID using an external DB Query. If we update the property in the database it should reflect in the OPPID drawing as well.

Would like to control the order that pipeline sizes are listed in the pick list

Currently OpenPlant PID automatically sorts pipeline sizes in ascending order, but it would be nice if it could take the order defined in the Class Editor when selecting the size.
