This procedure applies to ABE sources that are either equipment or streams.

  1. Open the To Do List window.

  2. Select a Create task for an ABE source item.

    SHARED Tip To find a source item quickly, type all or part of its Source Tag value in the Search field or follow the procedure in the topic Find ABE tasks in the To Do List.

  3. On the toolbar, select Properties PPM All Outputs Graphic.

  4. Select the Create tab.

  5. Beside the Catalog item field, select the ellipsis .

  6. From the Catalog Item window, select a suitable symbol (equipment or pipe run for ABE equipment or stream respectively).

  7. If required, under the Item Properties section of the Create tab, select the Ignore check box beside any properties you want the software to ignore when running the task.

    SHARED Tip If you select the Ignore check box, the software ignores the property for the current and subsequent retrieve sessions unless the value of the property changes in the published data, in which case that property is no longer ignored the next time you retrieve the ABE data. To ignore a property for the current retrieve session only, clear both the Activate and Ignore check boxes beside the property.

  8. Select OK to close the task Properties dialog.

    When several Create tasks are generated from an ABE source item, the symbol selected for the first Create task is also selected for the other Create tasks of all related items.

  9. Run the Create tasks for each related item you want to create in Smart P&ID.

    • The drawing must be active for the tasks to run. A Create task cannot be run for an inactive drawing.

    • A new Create task will replace any unexecuted related Create task in the To Do List.

    For an ABE source item associated with a symbol, the behavior of the related items depends on the To Do List Create in Drawing PPM All Outputs Graphic command setting:

    • If the button is not pressed, the items are sent to the Active Drawing Stockpile.

    • If the button is pressed, the items are placed in the active drawing just outside the drawing frame.
