View Upgraded Entities

AVEVA P&ID includes a utility which can be used to quickly identify which drawing entities have been upgraded and which have not, using colour.

From The Drawing Page shortcut menu of a drawing, select View Upgraded Entities or select View Upgraded Entities option in the Non-Intelligent Entities Upgrade group of the Utilities tab.

The AVEVA Dwg Viewer dialog is then displayed.

The dialog displays the selected drawing. Standard toolbar buttons are provided to pan, zoom in, zoom out etc.

Initially, all drawing entities are displayed in grey. To apply different colours to different types and states (upgraded or not upgraded) of entities, click Set Colours.

The following dialog is then displayed.

To specify a colour for a type of upgraded item, for labels, errors, warning and for entities that have not been upgraded ("Undefined Entities"), click on the colour field next to the type of entity. Select the required colour from the dialog that is then displayed. When the required colours have been selected, click OK.

To apply the colours, click Apply Colours Settings. The selected colours are then applied to the drawing view.

Entities that have errors or warnings associated with them can be displayed in specific colours, as described above. To view an error or warning, hover the mouse cursor over the entity in question:
