Placement
This option lets you place instrument panels in the P&ID drawing. Each Panel is created as a square or rectangular element and given a tag. As instruments are added to the panel, they are placed inside of the panel bounding shape and adopt the panel number as required but have their Device Type Code adjusted as needed.
