Assign P&ID Pipe Types to AutoCAD Line Types

The Pipe Line mapping grid is used to map AutoCAD lines to AVEVA P&ID Pipes Types, including process links.

AutoCAD lines are mapped to AVEVA P&ID signal lines using the Signal Line mapping grid, refer to Assign P&ID Signal Line Types to AutoCAD Line Types.

To open the Pipe Line mapping grid, press this button:

The grid is then displayed.

1. Click Add to add a row to the grid.

2. In the Pipe Type field, select the AVEVA P&ID Pipe Type that each line is to be mapped to.

3. In the Line, Layer, Line Type and Colour columns enter the properties of the AutoCAD line in the selected drawings that is to be mapped to the selected AVEVA P&ID Pipe Type.

4. If a line type represents a process link, check its IsProcessLink checkbox.

5. Repeat the above procedure for each type of AutoCAD line to be mapped.

6. To delete a mapping row, select it and click Delete.

7. Once the pipe types have been mapped, click Save to save the mappings.

A procedure can then be carried out in AVEVA P&ID to apply the mapped types to AutoCAD lines. Further procedures can then be carried out to convert these lines into AVEVA P&ID pipes.
