Background

The Name and Device Type Code tags, visible on the Properties panel under Tag Information, are set to P# and P by default. It might happen that the user or administrator want to change this default value for their own convention.

Steps to Accomplish

  1. Open Bentley Class Editor.
  2. Open OpenPlant_PID.01.08.ecschema schema.
  3. On the left-hand side menu tree, navigate to OpenPlant PID > Classes > Plant Base Object > Named Item > Pipe Run

  4. On the Properties tab, look for and select the DEVICE_TYPE_CODE property.
  5. On the box below, under Property Custom Attributes, find Default Value. Notice that it is set to P.

  6. Change it for the desired value. Remember to add a blank space character at the end if it is required to separate this value from the automatic enumeration.
  7. Save the schema.
  8. Go to OpenPlant PID, create a drawing and place a pipe. Notice, on the Properties panel, how the Name and Device Type Code tags under Tag Information have been modified with the changes made to the schema.
