PDS 2D uses levels to separate data types in the Drawing view. The software automatically defines levels for the various parts of process systems. You can customize these levels, and you can combine them to view collective data sets.

In Smart P&ID, display sets show certain parts of the drawing, such as only the equipment or only the piping. A display set consists of one or more filters. For example, you can define a display set that combines a filter that displays 6- inch pipe with a filter that displays tanks more than 5 feet in diameter. Then, both 6-inch pipe and tanks over 5 feet in diameter are displayed.

Smart P&ID filters fall into the following categories:

  • Plant filters

  • Personal filters

Plant filters are stored in Plant Folders, and personal filters are stored in My Folders. The plant administrator defines Plant filters, while each individual user defines personal filters. You can use filters along with rules to check for errors in certain filtered views. Smart P&ID offers extensive flexibility in creating and editing filters. You can even edit the individual properties of the filters.
