OPPPID Drawing Revision

Hello Bhadresh,

In order for the PID_DOCUMENT class to support REVISION property with alpha characters you will need to do the following.

1. Launch Class Editor.
2. Load the OpenPlant schema located here (by default in Windows 7) "C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantPID (SS6)\WorkSpace\OPPID\schemas".
3. Locate the PID_DOCUMENT class.
4. Locate the REVISION property.
5. Change the TypeName field to a STRING. (Default has this as a type DOUBLE.)
6. Save the schema.
7. Load the OpenPlant_PID schema and supplement this with the OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Imperal schema. Both located in the (default in Windows 7) "C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantPID (SS6)\WorkSpace\Projects\<your project name>\Dataset\schemas".
8. Locate the DOCUMENT class and change the REVISION property TypeName field to a STRING.
9. Locate the PID_DOCUMENT class and change the REVISION property, TypeName field to a STRING.
10. On the PID_DOCUMENT class and the REVISION property - in the Property Custom Attributes custom attribute, set the Default Value field to A.
11. Save the schemas.

You will now be able to use alpha characters in the revision property.

I hope this helps,
