Out of the Box Mixed Metric Workspace in OPM should show fractions in the Pipeline Manager not decimal inches
PDS piping model shows fraction for Nominal Diameter and thus reflect in Pipeline Name (ie 1 1/2"-1PA-35121-L1-N0 ). If Nominal Diameter is modified, the Pipeline Name that has a Nominal Diameter reverts to decimal nominal diameter display ( 1.5-1...
Under View Attributes - OpenPlant Modeler Settings - Promote - Centerlines only activates centerlines for piping. In orthographic drawing production, equipment also is displayed with centerlines. Centerlines should be displayed in all views of the...
Create an Advanced Query Function that can pull Class UOM
Create an ECSQL built-in function like ‘ec_clanname() and ‘ec_classid()’. It could have this form: ec_getPropertyUnit( ecclass, ecproperty ) Its functionality is to pull the component's unit of measurement (UOM).
Instrument Function - Input/Output should Prompt User for Function Variable
The user defined function symbol Input/Output requires additional properties that are defined a letter variable. The letter variables are displayed in the symbol on the P&ID. See attached images. Currently, there are no properties defined for ...

Custom Properties in MicroStation for Elements using ECSchema via Bentley Class Editor
It would be great to have some examples for the custom properties addition to elements using the modification of ECSchema through Bentley Class Editor tool. The ECSchema is already shipped with the product. If there would be some manual related to...
Height of Stanchion for Simple Elbow Support should be from a specific point
When a Simple Elbow Support is placed, the height of the stanchion starts at a location of the support that seems to be a random location on the elbow (see STANCHION.png). The height should be from the center of the pipe end of the elbow (see STAN...
Autofitting Filter property and SpecGrid selection
We can define this variable OPM_CUSTOM_AUTO_FIT_FILTER_PROPS = SCHEDULE to force autofitting to query elbow based on following pipe property (ex: SCHEDULE). But if we add this variable OPM_AUTOFITTING_SELECTION_GRID_FOR_ELBOW = 1 During placement ...
With Modify Element you can adjust dimensions without loosing association leader line to element. Hence this is not just a MS-functionality but an important tool when post-processing isometrics and should be integrated into isometric workflow by d...
Nozzle Manager - Enable property DEVICE_TYPE_CODE to define Unique NOZZLE tag along with NUMBER.
Currently a Nozzle in Nozzle Manager is defined by the NUMBER field. When using PlantSight/OPPID/OPM, the Number needs to be defined as a Number - Not N1 or M1 (Nozzle or Manhole). Tagging of a nozzle is generally defined as EQP_NO-DEVICE_TYPE_COD...
Generated "ISOSHEETS" in piping files be carried over to next file
When we create "ISOSHEETS" for pipelines in a design file and then try to copy all contents of this file into another file / new file (i.e reference in the file > select all content > Copy > Paste into new file > Detach the reference),...
