OPPID - How to change the default line jumper

Introduction

By default when two lines cross a gap is created. In this process you will modify the schema so that the jumper used when two lines cross is an arc instead  of the standard gap.

Configuring the line jumper

1. Launch OpenPlant PowerPID
2. From the main menu select Utilities > ClassEditor. The ECClassEditor is launched
3. Load the supplemental schema of your project, e.g. OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Imperial.01.03.ecschema.xml
4. Expand the class tree and select the class PIPING_NETWORK_SEGMENT
5. Click the  Custom Attributes icon and add the Jumper Mapping custom attribute. Click OK
6. Fill in the values
   
   Class Name: ARC_JUMPER
   Priority: 1
   
   
7. In SS3 click the Save button. In SS4 and above the changes are automatically saved
   
8. Click the Save icon
9. Restart OpenPlant PowerPID and place a few crossing pipelines.
   

Various pipeline classes use the JUMPER_MAPPING custom attribute.

MAJOR_PIPELINE, MINOR_PIPELINE and TRACING_PIPELINE by default is set to use standard PID_JUMPER

1. If you can't see any changes while placing Major, Minor or Tracing Pipelines, then go ta same schema and select on each of those classes.
2. Change PID_JUMPER to ARC_JUMPER on each class jumper Mapping custom attribute same like for PIPING_NETWORK_SEGMENT and save the changes.
   
   
   
   
   
   

Class Name is the name of the jumper to use over this class.
Priority is specific to pipeline/pipe runs jumping.  So

• If 2 different pipeline classes, the class with the larger Priority number jumps the smaller Order.
• If they have same priority, then the config var is used.
• If same pipeline classes, then the config var is used.  Currently this is in pid.cfg
  
# Run breaking hierarchy, when intersecting runs have same class# 1 means horizontal segment will not break# 0 means vertical segment will not break SCHEMATICS_JUMPER_SAME_CLASS_HORIZONTAL_PRIORITY = 1

Using the example above:

• If a Major Pipeline (1) crosses a Minor Pipeline (2), the Minor would have the Pid Jumper in it.
• If a Minor Pipeline (2) crosses a Tracing Pipeline (7), the Tracing would have the Pid Jumper in it.

Adjusting the gap size

The size of the jumper gap is defined in class SPACING_PIPE_RUN

1. Select on SPACING_PIPE_RUN class and Change Double List Items value
