P&ID Viewer

The P&ID Viewer enables you to locate P&ID sheet(s) for selected Engineering (P&ID) elements and supports open and zoom-in operations.
A P&ID Viewer instance is available in both the Integrator Results window and the Integrator Build window. See Integrator Results and Integrator Build.
When you select a row in the grid, the viewer automatically loads the P&ID information linked to the Engineering elements. It identifies the corresponding Draw sheet (SHEE) for the P&ID Engineering sheet (ECSHEE) and opens it in Model using the Draw‑in‑Model functionality.
Prerequisites
You must have read-only access to both the Engineering and Draft databases.
Draw-in Model functionality must be enabled to allow P&ID sheets to open correctly.
Each Engineering (P&ID) sheet must be properly linked to its corresponding Draw sheet.
The Structure of P&ID Viewer
The P&ID viewer has two grids:
Located P&ID(s) - Displays sheets that are located.
Connected P&ID(s) - Displays connected P&IDs for an open sheet.
The Located P&ID can be opened directly from the view.
The Draw sheet information that is displayed corresponds to the original Engineering (P&ID) sheet.
User workflow in Integrator Results
-
On the Piping tab, in the Integrator group, select Compare to display the Integrator Results window. For more information see Integrator Results.
-
Review the comparison rows displayed in the grid.
-
Select a single comparison row containing the Engineering element you wish to locate.
-
The P&ID Viewer identifies and displays the P&ID sheet(s) associated with the selected Engineering element.
User workflow in Integrator Build
-
On the Piping tab, in the Integrator group, Select Build to display the Integrator Build window.
-
Select a row in the missing elements grid containing the Engineering element you wish to locate.
The P&ID Viewer displays the P&ID sheet(s) associated with the selected element.
Workflow in P&ID Viewer
Once the Located P&ID sheet(s) are in the grid, you can open a sheet from the list with Open the Selected P&ID(s).
The drawing sheet opens in Model and, by default, zooms in to the Engineering element in the sheet.
The element is highlighted for easy identification.
Note: If an item is present in multiple P&ID(s), the list displays all the sheets.
Zoom-In/Out enables you to zoom-in and out of the elements within the sheet.
Note:
The opened sheet(s) are read-only and cannot be edited.
Selecting multiple rows clears the list and displays a message instructing you to
select only one row.
Connected P&ID(s)
When a located P&ID is opened, the grid below it displays the connected P&ID(s).
The connected sheet(s) also display when you select Navigate to the connected P&ID.
The connectors (OPC) are highlighted when the connected sheet opens.
If there are no connected sheets, it displays the prompt, No connected P&ID to navigate.
