When the Instrument Index command is selected, the dialog below displays. Enable the appropriate check boxes and type the text height and file name. When finished, press OK to generate the Instrument Index or press Cancel to exit the dialog. AutoPLANT P&ID prompts for table placement in the current drawing. The Valve List table is AutoCAD text and can be easily scaled and moved. Edit the text in the table by using basic AutoCAD text editing commands.
A list will not change when a drawing is edited. To change the data in the list, the old list must be removed and replaced with a new list. Therefore, all changes to the current drawing should be made before placing a list.
