Update Equipment Tags

Changes to drawings resulting from the Equipment Label Format project configuration settings being changed are not automatically implemented when project drawings are loaded. The user must trigger these changes "manually" in each drawing after it has loaded using this procedure.

Note: As an alternative to the procedure below, if only a single label is to be updated, opening and closing the Properties Dialogs of that equipment will update its label format.

Associated Project Configuration Options

This procedure is used to implement changes made to the Equipment Label Format settings in the Equipment - Labels Sub-Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program.

Procedure

1. Start the procedure by selecting the Update Equipment Tag option in the Project Configuration group of the Utilities tab.

2. The command prompt will display:

   Pick Equipment for reformatting the tags:

   Select the equipment the tags of which are to be updated. When all the required equipment has been selected, press Enter.

   If all equipment tags on the drawing are to be updated, enter all at the command prompt and press Enter. It is recommended that a Zoom Extents is performed before proceeding with this option.

3. The command prompt will display the number of selected equipment items (for example):

   5 found

   The labels of the selected equipment are then updated. If many equipment items have been selected, this may take a few moments.
