    How do I turn on Number Auto Incrementation of Components on placement?

    Applies To
    Product(s): OpenPLANT P&ID
    Version(s): 08.10.11.47 and greater
    Environment: N/A
    Area: N/A
    Subarea: N/A
    Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group

    A new variable has been added to improve performance in drafting in OpenPlant P&ID. This variable enables or disables P&ID querying the database during Tag Placement. The default value now is to turn off unnecessary querying to improve performance. However, since this variable is opened up for modification users just need to turn it back on. Please follow the steps below for this modification:

    1. Close out of all OpenPlant applications.
    2. Browse to and open the C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\PowerPID (SELECTseries 5)\PowerPID\config\appl\pid.cfg file.
    3. Search for PLANT_PROJECT_QUERY_TAG_AT_PLACEMENT. You will be at the following section:

    # Set this to 1 to query tag number from AutoPLANT DB at placement time

    # Set this to 0 to not query tag number from AutoPLANT DB at placement time
    # 0 will speed it up, but you will only get unique Tag with respect to
    # current drawing. To guarantee unique across project DB, you would
    # have to increment within the Tag dialog.

    PLANT_PROJECT_QUERY_TAG_AT_PLACEMENT=1

    1. Change the value from 0 to 1.
    2. Save and Exit.
    3. Reopen OpenPlant P&ID and test. The Number value should now reflect the highest value that is in the database and not just the drawing.
