Explanation

Not connected to the same point on element in DB

ERROR

Disconnect in dwg

The connection number indicated by the shape connection point differs from the one get from arrive/leave attribute.

Not connected to the same element in DB

ERROR

Disconnect in dwg

The element connected to the shape on the drawing is not the same as the element pointed by the database reference.

Connected pipeline X has different attribute FLUR

WARNING

None

Pipeline connected to the shape on the drawing has different attribute FLUR than the pipeline that the shape belongs to.

Connected shape's element does not exist in DB

ERROR

Disconnect in dwg

The shape is connected on the drawing to the element which does not have a database representation.

Element not connected in DB

ERROR

Disconnect in dwg

Similar to the above, the shape is connected on the drawing, but not in the database.

Illegal connection between different line types

ERROR

Disconnect in dwg

Occurs when connected inline components and tubes are placed below different line types (Pipelines and Instrumentation lines).

Nozzle not related with an equipment item

ERROR

Undefine shapes

Nozzle is defined in the database under some equipment, but not connected to any defined item on the drawing.

Electrical connection not related with an equipment item

ERROR

Undefine shape

Electrical connection is defined in the database under some equipment, but not connected to any defined item on the drawing.

Shape is related to a different equipment item than in the database

ERROR

Undefine shape

The nozzle or electrical connection is defined in the database under some equipment, but on the drawing it is connected to another item.

The database element is missing

ERROR

Undefine shape

The shape is defined, but the related database element is missing.

The database element is connected at the connection point, but the shape is not

WARNING

None

The element in the database is connected, but its representation on the drawing (shape) is not.

Shape has only to/from flows

WARNING

None

The shape has only 'to' or 'from' connections.

Only X of Y cable members are released to 3D (performed for Multi-cables)

WARNING

None

SPREF not set

WARNING

None

SPREF of component is not set (Nulref)

SPREF not of SPCOMPONENT type

WARNING

None

SPREF of component is set to an element different than SPCOMPONENT (occurs when current settings do not allow out-of-spec components).

Boresizes does not match (between current and connected shape)

WARNING

None

Widths does not match

INFORMATION

None

Heights does not match

INFORMATION

None

Shape do not match

INFORMATION

None

Shapes (OVAL, CIRC, RECT) of connected shapes are different (for HVAC).

Ductsizes/shapes do not match

INFORMATION

None

Widths, heights or shapes (OVAL, CIRC, RECT) of connected shapes are different (for connection between HVAC elements and for example, nozzles.

Boresize not set

INFORMATION

None

Bore size is unset (for piping and instrumentation).

Ductsize not set

Duct size (height or width) is not set (for HVAC).

Shape not set

Shape (OVAL, CIRC, RECT) is not set (for HVAC).

Shape not connected at connection point

INFORMATION

None

One of connection points is not connected to any item.

Shape is not defined in the DB

INFORMATION

None

Shape is not defined.

Attribute X has bad reference(s) to Y. Referenced item(s) missing in the MDB.

WARNING

None

Reference in attribute X is pointing to an element Y which is not valid in the MDB. One attribute can have many references, in which case only bad references will be reported.

Note: This will not report unset references, only references set to invalid objects are listed.

Instrument relationship shape is not defined on drawing but it connects items that are connected in DB.

WARNING

‘The shape has been defined’ message appear and relationship line will be defined.

Relationship shape supposed to be defined because it connects valid items and items are connected in DB but for some reason it was not defined.

Can not connect Instrument relationship line shape to this connection point

WARNING

Disconnect in dwg.

User is trying connect relationship shape to some component connection point that was designed for process line.

Instrument relationship line shape should be connected to offline instrument or actuator from at least one end.

WARNING

Disconnect in dwg

Situation where the system detects that relationship shape is connected with both ends but none of the connected items are actuators nor offline instruments.

Twin connection.

WARNING

Disconnect in dwg

Message when the system detects that Offline instrument or Actuator has more than one connection to the same item.

One end of Instrument relationship line is not connected.

INFORMATION

None

Situation where relationship shape line has one end disconnected.

Instrument relationship line is not connected.

INFORMATION

None

Situation where relationship line has both ends disconnected.
