Sometimes the target item must be claimed, sometimes not. Here is a list of the cases where claiming plays a role:

  • Routing Lines up to Nozzles — The nozzles do not have to be claimed.

  • Routing Lines up to Freestanding Piping Components or Instruments — The piping component or instrument must be claimed since it will be adopted by the new run.

  • Routing Lines up to Owned Piping Components or Instruments — The piping component or instrument does not have to be claimed. In certain cases, when routing a line segment up to an existing inline component, automatic line connectivity will cause an existing zero length run to be joined to the new run. The target run must be claimed.

  • Routing Lines up to OPCs — The OPC does not have to be claimed.

  • Routing Lines up to Another Pipe or Signal Run — The target run must be claimed.

If the target item needs to be claimed but is not claimed, you are not allowed to connect to the target. The black connection handle PPM All Outputs Graphic does not appear at the required point.

Geometric Modification

If you move a line segment or a line vertex that is internal to a line, then the piping or signal run that owns the selected segment does not have to be claimed.

Extreme End of a Run

If you modify the start point of the first line segment in a run or the end point of the last line segment in a run, then the following stipulations apply:

  1. The selected run must be claimed.

  2. The target item may need to be claimed.

  3. If the existing connected item is a branch point for the run, then the run it belongs to must be claimed since the branch point is deleted and the adjacent line segments in the existing connected run are merged.

  4. If a component is connected to the endpoint, it does not need to be claimed.

Internal Vertex of a Run

Modification of an internal vertex can result in the run being split; consequently, the following stipulations apply:

  1. The entire run and all components must be claimed.

  2. The target item may need to be claimed.

Breaking and Joining Runs

The Break Run command allows you to split one piping or signal run into two pieces. The run to be broken and all components within that run must be claimed.

The Join Runs command allows you to combine two connected piping or signal runs into a single run. Both of the runs and all components in both runs must be claimed.
