Assign P&ID Signal Line Types to AutoCAD Line Types

The Line-Signal Mapping grid is used to map AutoCAD lines to AVEVA P&ID Signal Line Types.

AutoCAD lines are linked to pipe types and process links using the Pipe Line mapping grid, refer to Assign P&ID Pipe Types to AutoCAD Line Types.

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

The grid is then displayed.

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

2. In the Signal Type field, select the AVEVA P&ID Signal 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 Signal Type.

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

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

6. Once the Signal 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, converting them to AVEVA P&ID Signal Lines.
