Procedure Overview

In the AVEVA P&ID Colouring Utility application, an AVEVA P&ID project is selected, from which drawings to be subject to the procedure are then selected.

The procedure is relatively simple. The user may simply specify, for example, that all Instruments with a tag prefix value of "ABC" will be changed to a selected colour.

Multiple criteria for applying colour changes may be specified. For example, that all Instruments with a tag prefix value of "ABC" and / or of a specified item type.

Multiple criteria must be specified when changing the colour of items based on UDA values (including Dataset UDAs), because in addition to a value needing to be specified, the name of a Dataset or UDA must also be specified.

Colouring Utility criteria settings are saved as Rule Sets for future use.
