Populating data from spec fields to Pipe property

The PID does not support the feature of populating data from pipe spec fields to Pipe property. At current stage it is only possible for valves.

Possibility to add graphical representation of counter flange for fittings like strainer, bellows, flow meter, etc.

Possibility to add graphical representation of counter flange for fittings like strainer, bellows, flow meter, etc. Similar to end condition mappings End Condition Extend Type for valves.

Add ability to select and add multiple runs to Pipelines using the Add Run tool

Currently the Add Run to Pipeline tool only allows one pipe run at the time to be selected and added to a Pipeline. This request is to add the functionality so that multiple Pipe Runs can be selected and then added to a specific Pipeline. This mos...

Allow additional components to automatically receive properties when placed inside a panel

Currently, only instruments will inherit various properties from a panel when placed inside borders of the panel. However, there are other classes of components that would benefit from the automatic panel relationship. One in particular is a PLC (...

It would be nice if crossing a pipeline over itself would create a jumper.

I would like the software to show a jumper when I cross a pipeline over the top of itself like it does when you have two different pipelines so that it's clear that there is not an actual joint of the pipes at that point. See attached image.

Would like ability to apply Display Rules to piping components in OPPID.

Would like to establish display rules to control the color of piping components based on a property value so that if it were set to one value the component could be shown in red for example. This makes it possible for highlight relevant components...

Property Category to be Defined on the Property

Currently, when adding a property or editing an existing property, the category in which the property is to reside, is defined in a separate Custom Attribute. If a user manually adds this custom attribute, it is possible to type in an incorrect na...

Enable word wrap for component annotation

When a long description is needed to annotate a component such as a valve I have to manually input a '\n' to force some of the text to a second line. It would be nice if there was a way to specify a boundary or character length after which the sof...

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...

Need to connect Valves directly to a nozzle without placing a pipeline

See attached picture. In general it could happen that a nozzle gets a Valve connected with a plug or a blind flange at the end. In the moment it is not possible to place the valve directly at a nozzle without drawing a pipeline.
