Annotate Multiple Break Properties
A multiple property break component can be placed into a pipe run using the following key-in:
PID insert OpenPlant_PID PIPING_SPECIFICATION_BREAK_ALT1
The pipe run will split into two runs which will display in the Split Run dialog. One run maintains the original property values while the property values of the second run are modified. Select which run to define the new values for from the Split Run dialog.
The list of properties whose value changes are annotated is customizable and must be pre-configured in the OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental schema.
By default, the Specification, Insulation Material and Insulation Thickness properties are already pre-configured and display as shown when the above key-in is used to break a pipe run.
