Step 8: Piping Connection Settings

The Piping Connection Settings define the rules on how AutoCAD® Plant 3D Objects have to be put together. This is a topic for very very advanced users. You have to do a lot of testing to make any changes. There is a direct correlation between the port properties of your Pipe Run Components and the settings in this dialog.

For example: If you put a Valve in a Pipe you have two BV/FL connections. Under Compound Joint it says to insert a Flange for each connection. Then the Simple Joints kicks in. Now we have two FL/FL connections. Because of the Simple Joint setting a Gasket and Bolt Set will be inserted in-between the flanges.

So that’s the general idea behind the Joint Setup, but before you make any changes here it is highly recommended that you backup your Project first.

In some occasions you even may have to do some editing in the DefaultConnectorsConfig.xml file which is located in your Project Folder.

Step 9: P&ID Object Mapping

PI&D Object Mapping defines which AutoCAD® Plant 3D Object to insert if the user wants to insert an AutoCAD® P&ID Object from the P&ID Line List.

To make this work or to adapt this you select the P&ID class and assign an AutoCAD® Plant 3D class to it. In addition to that you can define which properties have to match.

The mapping is used mostly for Valves. If you want to add another mapping for Valves there will be a sub-selection of different 3D Valves. This is unique to Valves. If you want to add a mapping for reducers you will see that there is no sub-selection.

You have to decide yourself if the Object Mapping makes sense to you to help you speed up the process of inserting your AutoCAD P&ID Objects.
