Context Menu

If you select an object in the drawing and right-click the following context menu displays containing a number of editing options pertaining to the selected component. The options available vary depending on the type of component selected.

Note: Note that the options available vary depending on the type of component selected.

Assemblies	Provides the following options: Insert Assembly: Opens the Assembly Manager providing an interface to navigate to and insert pre-defined assemblies. Assemblies can also be created from the Assembly Manager Create Assembly: This option only displays when two or more components are selected in the drawing. When selected, the Assembly Creation Wizard displays prompting you to create an assembly from the selected components. Drop Assembly: This option displays when you select an existing assembly in the drawing. This will drop the relationship between the components of the assembly. Once the components have been dropped, they will no longer be considered an assembly and can be selected and edited as individual components. Note: This applies only to the selected assembly and will not affect any other existing assemblies of the same type in the drawing.
Select InRun Components	This option is available when a pipe run is selected. Click to select all of the InRun components on the run.
Select Major Pipeline/Parent	When you select a pipe run in the drawing, it does not included the parent pipeline in the selection since it has no graphical component to it. Thus, the Element Info dialog only displays information on the run. This option will include the pipeline in the selection set and display its properties in the Element Info dialog allowing you to copy, edit, delete the pipeline. The Select Parent option is usually displayed when you annotation for a component and not the component itself. It allows you to include the parent component in the selections.
Select Parents Advanced	This option is available when you have multiple pipe runs, instruments (part of a loop), or even assemblies selected. It displays the Select Parents dialog letting you add the logical groups (pipelines, instrument loops, etc.) which do not have graphics to the selection set for editing, copying or deleting. More Info
Paste from Component Clipboard	With the copy/cut to clipboard option, the component(s) are copied to the clipboard and can be pasted back into the drawing or into another drawing if desired. During the copy/cut, all of the relationships of the copied/cut components are maintained and come across during the paste operation. If the components copied/cut require tags, then the Modify Tags dialog displays during the paste operation containing the tag number(s), and property information of the copied/cut components. Modifications to these values can be made before placing the component(s). Note: If you plan to copy/cut from one drawing and paste into another, it is required that both drawings should be in the same project.
Validate	This option runs a complete validation check on the entire model and reports any invalid components in the control. see Validate Model.
Annotate	Allows you to select specific properties to display while annotating that component. See Annotation Dialog.
Tag Replication	Allows repeated processes to be done without the need to draw it separately for each occurrence. For more information see Tag Replication.
Element Selection	Displays the Element Selection dialog providing options on how to select elements in the drawing.
Copy	Allows you to copy an existing component in the drawing and immediately place the duplicate component. When a component is selected and the Copy command is invoked, the Modify Tags dialog displays allowing you to define a new tag number for the duplicate component. Upon closing the Modify Tags dialog, normal placement procedures for the component apply. How To Note: The Copy command is only for copying components and placing the copies in the current drawing. You cannot copy and paste components across different drawings as with the Copy/Cut/Paste To/From Clipboard function.
Move	When this option is selected, the component(s) selected are affixed to the mouse for repositioning in the drawing. Drag the component(s) to the new location and left click to complete the move.
Scale	Used to resize elements. Elements can be scaled individually, as a selected group, or within a fence.
Rotate	Used to rotate an element(s). Elements can be rotated individually, as a selected group, or within a fence.
Mirror	Used to reposition an element in a position that mirrors the original placement.
Add Link	Displays the following dialog which allows you to link a File, a Key-in or URL to a component. Select a type from the list, then use the field below to define the link. Click OK to save.
To From Data	This option only displays when single pipe run is selected in drawing. It displays the To From Data dialog for viewing property information on the selected pipe run, as well as the components (or the line) it connects. For instance, if a pipe run is running from a Centrifugal Pump to a Vertical Vessel, the To From Data dialog will display the property information for the pipe run, the pump and the vessel. The To/From Data option shows data for lines connecting the following components: Equipment Components Page Connectors Other Lines Segment Terminators
Add Segments	This option allows you to draw pipe segment from the vertex of an existing pipe line. It displays Edit dialog to set the pipe properties. Set the properties and choose the vertex of existing pipe line to add segments.
Jump Components	This option only displays when a single pipe run is selected. When a pipe run is placed, or a segment is dragged over another component, it will automatically detect if a component is being jumped and place a jumper at the intersecting spot as shown in the left image: If you drag the line away from the intersecting vessel, the jumper will be removed as shown in the image on the right. However, if when any of the intersecting components are dragged away from the intersection, the application doesn't detect a jumper is no longer needed. The Jump Components option makes the application re-evaluate the line for jumper requirements and will remove the jumper as shown.
Edit	Displays properties dialog for selected component to edit its tag properties. Note: This option is only displayed for tagged components.
Annotate	Displays the Annotation dialog providing you with options to define custom annotation strings for the component.
Query Spec	When placing a component from a spec, if there is more than one record in the specification, the Spec Record Selection dialog displays where you can select the desired component record to place. If the user needs to change to a different record at a later date, the Query Spec option allows this.
Refresh from Spec Record Data	This option displays when a valve(s) placed from a spec is selected. It lets the user update existing valves in a drawing with updated information from the spec. More Info
Replace	Displays the Replace Component dialog letting the user replace one of more components in the drawing.
Select All	Selects all of the components in the drawing.
Select None	De-selects all any components currently selected in the drawing.
Select Previous	Selects the last previously selected component.
Element Information	Opens the Element Information dialog allowing you to edit component information.
