Remove Join

This option removes the connection created between a component and any added graphical elements that were connected to the component using the Join command.

Accessed when you select the Remove Join option from the Conformance Tools gallery.

Select the component you would like to remove the elements from then click the Remove Join option to display the following dialog:

SettingDescription
Element Enable the check box next to the element(s) you would like to remove. When an element is selected, it is also highlighted in the drawing.
Remove

When you click this button the connection between the component/elements will be removed.

By default, the graphical elements will remain in the model but will not retain their relationship to the PID component. By modifying the value of the PID_REMOVE_JOIN_ADD_ELEMENT_TO_MODEL configuration variable, however, you can choose to remove the graphical elements if desired.

This variable resides in the PID.cfg file and can be modified using the Configuration dialog available from the Workspace menu. The following values can be assigned to the variable:

  • 0 - means remove from component and remove from model
  • 1 - means remove from component and add to model
  • 2 - means remove from component and prompt user whether to remove/add to model
