There are many functions that can be compared between Smart P&ID and the PDS product. They include attributes and properties, code lists and select lists, relationships between placed items, construction status values, consistency checking and propagation, design file differences, and using filters.

Code Lists and Select Lists

In PDS, an attribute that is restricted to pre-defined values is said to be code-listed. These values for Smart P&ID properties are called select-listed values; they reside in a select list. See Comparing Code Lists and Select Lists.

Grouping Equipment in Smart P&ID

With PDS™ 2D, before you place an equipment group, you must identify the equipment group before adding equipment components to a piece of equipment. With Smart P&ID whenever you place a component on a piece of equipment, the software automatically creates a group relationship among the equipment and its components. See Grouping Equipment in Smart P&ID.

Setting Construction Status

In PDS 2D, you set the construction status by selecting the New, Future, or Existing buttons on the Construction Status control. When an item is placed, the default construction status is New. In Smart P&ID, you can set construction status before or after you place an item. See Setting Construction Status.

Comparing Consistency Check to Propagation

Consistency Check in Smart P&ID serves the same purpose as propagation in PDS 2D. See Comparing Consistency Check to Propagation.

Comparing Graphics and Text in PDS 2D and Smart P&ID

In PDS 2D, graphics are called cells. These graphics include pumps, tanks, piping, valves, and other items. In Smart P&ID, graphics are called catalog items. See Comparing Graphics and Text in PDS 2D and Smart P&ID.

Using Filters and Display Sets Versus Levels

PDS 2D uses levels to separate data types in the Drawing view. Smart P&ID uses filters and display sets to show certain parts of the drawing, such as only the equipment or only the piping, and you can combine filters in both display sets and compound filters.
