Delete linked page connector is allowed if user isn't in a "middle" page for the connected pipe run. If at one of the end pages, a confirmation dialog is displayed. It warns that the pipeline and pipe run will become new instances. Be sure you really want to delete that page connector. If press Yes and later try to Undo, it will corrupt the pipe run.

  1. Place new page connector at end of pipe run.
  2. Right-click Connect to Existing and pick the originally linked page connector. The one user was trying to recover.

  • OpenPlant Project Administrator only handles imperial and Metric upgrades. Any other projects (ISO,*_forAP, user) will require user intervention:
    1. Copy appropriate base OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Design schema from:

      C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlant Project Administrator CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Workspaces\WorkSpace\WorkSets\OpenPlantMetric\Standards\OpenPlant\PID_ISO\Schemas.

      or whichever workset is desired. The directory names start with "PID_".

    2. Perform the project upgrade in OpenPlant Project Administrator.
    3. Manually merge your customizations into Open_PID_Supplemental_Design.

When you define a new association in the OpenPlant Project Administrator then open OpenPlant PID and assign values to the association, a number of error messages display:

See steps below:
  1. Open the OpenPlant Project Administrator and in a WorkSet, click the OpenPlant PID node and then the Schema Editor option.
  2. Define a new class under the Plant Breakdown Element node.
  3. Define a relationship such as:
    • Source = Test200
    • Target = Named Item
  4. Add an association, first Adding the pipeline from the + sign and then DRAGGING and DROPPING it under Test200: (Pick the relationship defined earlier when the relationship pop up appears) Such that Pipeline is under Test2.
  5. Launch OpenPlant PID and assign values to the Test200 association.
