Instrument Lines Gallery

Displays a list of pre-defined Instrument line symbols commonly used on P&ID drawings.

Accessed from:

The following gallery displays which can be left floating or docked to the drawing area.

Instrument Lines represent connections between instruments and other P&ID symbols (Equipment, Lines, etc.). These lines are not intelligent; however, when an instrument line connects an instrument symbol to another P&ID symbol, the line creates an intelligent link between the symbols. Select the symbol by clicking the item name or the associated icon. Placing an instrument line between instruments and other P&ID symbols creates an association of the components.

Signal Page Connector

These connectors are designed to link instrument lines from one sheet to another, much like Pipe Run Page connectors. It displays the Connectors Options dialog allowing you to define the links for the connector. The type of connector (On/Off page) is determined during the placement process.

Please refer to the sections in the Connectors Gallery which provides details on the full functionality of page connectors.
