When System Editing is enabled for a plant, changed property values are automatically spread or
propagated to related items according to the currently defined consistency criteria. In certain

02.Design Environment Overview
cases, you may want to set a property value on one item only and not allow it to be propagated to
any related items. The System Editing command (on the Tools menu and the toolbar) allows you
to turn off the propagation functionality temporarily during a design session. After the change
has been made, you can use this same command to turn it back on again. System Editing is
always turned on when you start a new design session.
The Tools > Replace Mode command controls whether catalog items are placed as substitutions
for existing drawing items or placed normally. When this mode is active, the software places
catalog items only when they replace an existing drawing item. When this mode is not active, the
software places catalog items as usual. The Replace Mode command will copy properties of the
current item onto the new item.
The Replace Mode command works for like objects only. The item that you want to replace in
the drawing must be of the same class: equipment class, instrument class, and so forth. For
instance, you can replace a vessel with another vessel, but you cannot replace a vessel with a
pump.
A gap in a drawing is a condition that exists when two lines intersect graphically in the drawing
but not physically in the plant. In order to portray this condition, you can specify that lines show
a gap at these non-physical intersections. You can either turn auto-gapping on, and the software
gaps your lines automatically as you route them, or you can choose when the software performs
gapping on your drawing by using the Gap Now command. Using the Gap Now command,
instead of turning on auto-gapping, can increase the efficiency of your design session.

The software includes several standard drawing templates. You usually create a new drawing
based on one of these existing templates; however, it is possible to customize a drawing template
to meet your particular needs. This task is accomplished inside the design software by using
commands on the File menu. The pre-defined size choices for a new template are extensive.
The default storage location for templates is specified in Options Manager. If you create a new
template, save it in this default location in order for it to be available for drawing creation.

save time because you do not have to keep creating commonly-occurring groups of items.
Instead of copying and pasting each individual item into a drawing at several locations, you can
place the group of items: the assembly. An example of an assembly is a control valve with vents
on both sides, an instrument loop that controls the valve, and a piping bypass around the valve.
You can create an assembly by selecting several items in a drawing and saving as an assembly.
The file extension for an assembly is .pid, which is the same file extension as a drawing. If you
want to retrieve the assembly from the Catalog Explorer tree view, you must save the assembly
where the other symbols are located. The Save As Assembly command prompts you to save the
assembly in the correct directory, which is specified in Options Manager.
Placing assemblies is like placing any other item from Catalog Explorer into a drawing. When
you want to place an assembly into a drawing, you select the assembly from Catalog Explorer
and click a location in the drawing. Or, you can drag the assembly into the drawing. The
information in each label remains intact when you place the assembly. After you have placed an
assembly, the items in the assembly are treated as separate items. You can delete just one item
without concern that the software deletes the entire assembly.
Assemblies cannot be placed inline. You must place the assembly first and then route piping to it,
if required.
