We are attempting to add a new Component Preference in Autoplant XM Piping. We want it to work like the Service or Area preference.
In Project Administrator, we select a root that has 8 projects, 3 Projects are integrated with ProjectWise, all projects are: Project Database Type = ORACLE Project Database Mode = Multi Project Database Server = Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 Mode = Central Version = 8.09.00
Proj Admin Relationship tab, Create a Relationship named SubSystem, Table named SUBSYSTEM3D. In Piping Preferences, Color/Layer mode set to Color "by SubSystem".
How do we get SubSystem to display as a Component Preference? How do we add this relationship to the remainder of projects in the Root? When attempting to create, it says that the table already exists.
Hello Steve,
This is actually a bug in the XM release that was fixed in the 8.11.6.30 release of V8i. There is a work around for the XM release which is shown below -
1. Open the RELATIONSHIPTYPE table in the database. 2. Copy the three lines created for the new relationship. 3. Change the PROJ_ID value to the second project.
Thanks Richard,
After creating the new Component Preference, I want to add it to the Drawing Preferences so we can set color of the piping components by the new Component Preference. In Project Administrator, Piping, Preferences, I can set the Color/Layer Mode Settings to "by SubSystemCode".
In the piping model, Drawing Preferences, Color/Layer Mode the option "by SubsystemCode" does not appear. What do I do to add this option?
