Add Tables of P&ID Data

This procedure is used to add pre-defined tables of data from the AVEVA P&ID project database to drawings. Each table displays selected data from a specified project database procedure.

The tables can subsequently be updated with the latest data from the database either automatically, or by using the Refresh P&ID Data Tables procedure.

Table data can be populated from multiple drawings. Refer to Setup Dynamic Tables to Add P&ID Data from Multiple Drawings.

Associated Project Configuration Options

The tables are created and edited using the Dynamic Tables Configuration Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program.

3. The dialog lists the tables set up in the Project Administrator, excluding any that have already been placed on the drawing. The stored database procedure which provides the table data is also displayed.

4. To select a table to place on the drawing, check its checkbox. Select All and Unselect All options are available on a right-click menu.

5. Tables may either be placed automatically, at the coordinates specified for them in the Project Administrator, or manually at a position selected by the user. If a table is to be placed manually, check its Manual Placing checkbox.

6. When the required tables have been selected, click OK. The selected tables are then placed one by one on the drawing.

7. If manual placement was specified for a table, the Command prompt will display:

   Please select insertion point for <table name>:

   Pick the required point on the drawing. The table will then be added to the drawing. The prompt is repeated for each table for which manual placement was specified.
