Background
The default configuration of the dgn design file for Metric projects sets Master units to meters and Sub units to millimeters. All placements, including valves, connection points, and annotation offsets, are adjusted accordingly. If there is a need to switch the Master units to millimeters and Sub units to micrometers, specific adjustments must be made to ensure proper placement of valves and labels.
Steps to Accomplish
- Increasing connection point distance to suit millimeter distance
- Open Valves.cel.sch.ecinstance.xml change the CP Value to 3810. Mentioned below is the default location for it.
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlantCONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\OpenPlantExample\WorkSets\Metric\Standards\OpenPlant\PID\cell
- Open Valves.cel.sch.ecinstance.xml change the CP Value to 3810. Mentioned below is the default location for it.
- Changing test style for valve and setting annotation offset.
- Go to PIDProjectTemplates.dgnlib create a new style.
- Go back to the dgn and check if the type is updated if not click on Update From Library.
- In class editor open OpenPlant_PID.01.08.ecschema and supplement
01.08.ecschema - Search Inline valve
- Select NAME property
- Under Annotation Custom Attribute put y=-6250
- Also put required text style name.
- Similarly to change valve sizes annotation , go to fluid regulator class and click on SIZE Property
- Under Annotation Custom Attribute put y=-6250
- Put required text style name
- Save all.
- Restart OPPID and verify the results.
