Four text attributes of pipe are used by the COMPIPE interface. These are:
|
CARE COMPIPE |
area up to 4 characters, mandatory |
|
DESCRIPTION |
Pipeline description up to 80 characters, optional |
|
CDRG COMPIPE |
drawing number up to 24 characters, optional |
|
CNUM COMPIPE |
line number up to 14 characters, optional |
The CNUM attribute is available so that a line number may be stored for COMPIPE purposes that differs from the AVEVA E3D Design pipe NAME. If CNUM is blank or unset, the first 14 characters of the NAME will be used.
Note: The pipeline DESCRIPTION is output in the Linelist file. This should not be confused with the option for COMPIPE DESCRIPTIONS, which is an instruction in the MTO file to COMPIPE on how to output component descriptions in its reports.
