This dialog is used to define options for modifying property values during the copy process. If the delivered copy transformation program (CopyTransformation.Transform) is used, the options described below are available:

PPM All Outputs Graphic

Sequence numbers

Generate new

Selecting the option causes existing tag sequence numbers to be set to null for any item that has the property TagSequenceNo. The null sequence number triggers the creation of new sequence numbers during normal item tag validation.

Add value to the beginning of all sequence numbers

When you select this option, you can use the box to type the values you want to display at the beginning of all your sequence numbers.

Keep existing if unique

If the item tag for a copied item is unique, it will be left as it was, but if the software detects a duplicate item tag in the plant for an item type where duplicate item tags are not allowed, the tag sequence number will be incremented to the next available value.

  • Duplicate item tags are allowed in the plant for the following item types only: pipe runs, duct runs, and signal runs of Plant Item Type Pipe Runs.

  • When copying a drawing that has a loop associated with one or more instruments, the sequence number that the newly-created loop receives is in accordance with the selected option; however, the instrument / loop associations will correspond to those in the source drawing and the instruments will retain the original values for their Tag Seq No and Item Tag properties. This may result in a mismatch between the loop and instrument sequence numbers. To resolve this situation, you must update the related instrument tags on the Update Associated Instruments with Loop Properties dialog box in Smart P&ID.

  • Item tag values follow the behavior set by the ItemTag.dll file. For more details, see the Smart P&ID Modeler Online Help topic Default Item Tag Configurations.

Clear piping material classification

Select to remove any defined piping materials class.

Clear process data

Select to remove any values in the Process category.

Plant item associations

Allows you to specify the behavior of the plant item associations when copying the drawing.

Re-associate all plant items with the target

All plant items, regardless of their plant group associations in the source, are associated with the target plant group of the copied drawing.

Retain existing plant item associations

All plant items retain the same plant group associations that they had in the source. No changes are made to the associations.

Re-associate items depending on original associations

Those plant items that belong to the plant group of the drawing itself in the source are reassigned to the target plant group. Those plant items that were assigned to a different plant group from that of the drawing source plant group retain their existing override associations.
