The options in this dialog enable you to associate CAD drawing blocks manually with tag numbers selected in the Loops folder of the Domain Explorer. In the Loops folder, manually associated blocks are shown as PPM All Outputs Graphic. After associating instrument blocks manually, they appear on the General Loop Drawings dialog, where you can select a specific manually assigned block and generate loop drawings only for the loops that use this block. For details on instrument blocks and block assignment methods, see CAD Drawing Blocks in Smart Instrumentation.

You cannot assign instrument blocks manually if the selected loop has a loop block (displayed as PPM All Outputs Graphic under the loop number). However, you can always assign instrument block automatically. For details, see Associate Instrument Blocks Automatically (via Instrument Type).
