Avoid Problems when using Client Symbology

A client will often specify the symbols which are to be employed when drawing P&IDs for a project. In these instances, the standard symbol library may not be acceptable. The following points should be addressed situation:

• Check to see if an AVEVA P&ID symbol library, together with its AVEVA P&ID file, exists for the client elsewhere. This library can then be used without having to set up a completely new set of symbols, and therefore can save time and effort.

• If an AVEVA P&ID symbol library does not exist for the client, the client may still have their symbols in AutoCAD drawings as blocks. These can then converted to symbols using the Symbol Editor.

• If the client symbols exist only on paper or in an untranslatable graphics format, they will have to be redrawn in AutoCAD.
