Problem Description

User required class name to appear in report but by default it does not appear on the components. This article will explain how can we configure OPPID to show the class name of components placed in the drawing.

Steps to Follow

1. Open Class Editor and load OpenPlant_PID schema.
2. Supplement it with OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Imperial schema.
3. Search for VALVE class and switch to properties tab.
4. Create a new property EC_CLASS_NAME as shown below.
   
   
5. Add Calculated ECProperty Specification custom attribute on this and add the following EC expression on it.
   
   this.GetClass().Name
   
   
6. Save the changes and verify the result.

Verify the Result

1. Open any drawing Existing or New in OPPID.
2. Place a new valve or select the existing valve.
3. Check the element info dialog.
