Implement Configuration Changes

Most project configuration changes are automatically implemented in a drawing when it is opened. However there are exceptions to this, and project configuration changes may also be implemented manually once a drawing has been opened.

Associated Project Configuration Options

All project configuration changes are made using the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration Program.

Configuration Changes that must be implemented by the user

Some configuration changes are not automatically implemented when project drawings are loaded. The user must trigger these changes "manually" in each drawing after it has loaded using the following procedures:

• Update Equipment Tags

• Update Pipe Tags

• Update Reducer Tags

• Update Spec Driven Data

• Update Pipe Style Colours

• Update Symbol Descriptions

• Update Drawing Grids

• Update Dataset Definitions

• Convert Project Label Units

Implement Configuration Changes made since a drawing was opened

To implement configuration changes made since the drawing was opened, select the Refresh Settings option in the AVEVA P&ID group of the Home tab. The following message is then displayed:

Click Yes to continue. Configuration changes are then implemented with the exceptions described above.

Note: If the USER_UPDATEFROMDBSYNC user-defined directive on the Miscellaneous – Settings Sub-Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program is set to Yes (the default setting is No), then P&ID data is updated with any changes made to the project database in AVEVA P&ID Reports at the same time. If the setting is set to No (the default setting), the update from P&ID Reports must be triggered separately. Refer to Update P&ID Data with changes made in P&ID Reports.
