    APPID: How do I increase the distance between the Hand Valve and End Codes?

    Add the "EndCodeBrkDist" variable that controls the distance break between the End Code (Flange) and the Hand Valve.  It can be added to the pid-sup.lsp file.  Please follow the instructions below:

    1.Browse to and open your pid-sup.lsp either located in your APCUSTDIR directory path for the project or in its default location of C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bentley\Plant V8i\P&ID\.
    2.Search for the “Drawing Initialization” section and add the variable  above this section.

    ;;Added November 18, 2010 – Controls EndCode Valve Break Distance –
    ;;Modify the numeric value to increase or decrease the break distance
    (setq EndCondBrkDist 0.6)

    3.Save and Exit the Pid-Sup.lsp file.
    4.Open the drawing turn on the End Conditions (EC Command).
    5.Place a valve and test the distance.
