Modify Pipe Label Fields and Cascade Changes Through a Pipe Run

Cascading preserves data consistency across pipe branch networks and over pipe boundaries.

When the properties of parent pipe label are edited, any changes to these properties may immediately be reflected in the labelling of the branches off that pipe.

If required, cascading to pipe branches may be disabled for specified fields in the Pipes - Settings Sub-Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program.

Note: However that fields specified for unique validation will still be cascaded regardless of these settings.

Changes of size or spec are also cascaded onto other pipes which are butted end-on to the edited branches, with spec break and reducer, and reducing valves positions being taken into account. Reducers and reducing valves behave intelligently throughout changes that affect pipe sizes.

An alert box appears asking the users whether they wish to cascade the data change onto the highlighted pipe. If the user accepts by selecting OK, the changes cascade through.

Changes to pipe properties can also be propagated to other pipes connected via linked offsheet connectors.
