Label Nozzles

The procedure can be used to label Nozzles.

For details of the use of this procedure in the context of drawing P&IDs, refer to Label Nozzles

Example

Errors

An error message will be received if duplicate labels are placed.

Associated Project Configuration Options

• If unlabelled nozzles are to result in a warning being displayed during validation and/or export, the Nozzle Error-Balloon Placement checkbox in the Label Types Configuration Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program must be checked.

• If nozzle sizes are to cascaded onto connecting pipes, check the Cascade Nozzle to Pipe checkbox in the Nozzles - Settings Sub-Category.

• To set the last value entered in a Properties dialog field to automatically populate that field that next time that Properties dialog is accessed for an unlabelled item of that item type, use the checkboxes in the Values to Remember from Last Nozzle Edit section of the Nozzles - Settings Sub-Category.

• If nozzles are to be labelled using an automatically incrementing number, check the Increment Nozzle Sequence checkbox in the Nozzles - Labels Sub-Category.

• If nozzles labels are to automatically include a prefix, enter this prefix in the Nozzle Prefix field in the Nozzles - Labels Sub-Category.

• Whether or not auto-labelling is on by default is set in the Miscellaneous - Labels Sub-Category pane.

Procedure

1. The procedure may start automatically if auto-labelling for nozzles is on. If this is the case, the AVEVA P&ID Nozzle Properties dialog displays automatically when a nozzle is placed on the drawing.

   If auto-labelling is not on, or to edit an existing label, start the procedure by either:

   • selecting the symbol to be labelled on The Drawing Page, then selecting Properties from the shortcut menu, or

   • selecting the symbol to be labelled in the Engineering Explorer, then selecting Properties from the shortcut menu, or

   • selecting the Properties option in the Properties group of the Home tab.

     Note: Labels can also be viewed using the Non-Modal Properties Dialog, but tags cannot be directly entered into this dialog. Other details can be entered or changed however, and the drawing labelled with them.

2. If either for the first two methods of starting the procedure is followed, the AVEVA P&ID Nozzle Properties dialog for the symbol is then displayed.

   If the other method is followed, the Command prompt will display:

   Select Item to Label, or Label to Modify:

   Pick the nozzle.

3. The AVEVA P&ID Nozzle Properties dialog for the object is then displayed:

   

   Enter the nozzle tag and, if required, a nozzle size.

   If the nozzle tag, size and associated assemblies are to be placed as labels for the nozzle, select "Yes" in the Add Label field.

   Select an Assembly Name from the drop-down list to add an associated assembly to the label. The default value is Null which will not add an associated assembly to the label.

   Note: Nozzles will automatically inherit the pipe specification and pipe specification description of a connected pipe branch when the drawing is consolidated after being committed or synchronized.

   Click OK.

4. Assuming the Tag Annotation - Add Label field is set to "Yes", the Command prompt will display:

   Position Nozzle Tag:

   Place the nozzle tag.

   The nozzle currently being labelled is highlighted.

5. Assuming the Size Annotation - Add Label field is set to "Yes", the Command prompt will display:

   Position Nozzle Size:

   Place the nozzle size.

6. The Command prompt will display:

   Select Item to Label, or Label to Modify:

   Pick another nozzle to continue labelling, or press or select Enter to end the command.
