Rather than printing drawings one-by-one from within SmartPlant P&ID, Drawing Manager allows you to print more than one drawing at a time. You can select drawings from multiple plant groups for printing and you can specify for the entire group of selected drawings printing options such as whether to display a watermark, whether to print inconsistency markers, and drawing orientation. In Drawing Manager, you also have the capability to schedule batch printing for a later time or at regular intervals by using the Schedule option on the Print dialog box.

While it is possible to print just one drawing at a time from Drawing Manager, the Drawing Manager Print command does not have all the single-print capabilities of the Print command in the SmartPlant P&ID Modeler. For instance, Drawing Manager only prints an entire drawing; whereas, in the SmartPlant P&ID Modeler, you may choose to print only a selection or a view inside a drawing.

  • When filtering by typicals or display sets to determine which drawings are to be printed, you can specify whether to include or exclude in the printout drawings that do not contain filtered items.

  • In the SmartPlant P&ID Modeler, you can control the display and print output of the drawing using the settings under the Select section on the Display tab of the View Properties dialog box. The check box options affect the way that inserted objects are printed from the SmartPlant P&ID Modeler and also from Drawing Manager. When Prevent selection of inserted objects is selected on its own, inserted objects and Auxiliary Graphics are printed in gray. If Retain Auxiliary Graphics colors is selected, any Auxiliary Graphics included in the drawing are printed in color. If Print inserted objects in color is selected, any inserted or linked objects and Auxiliary Graphics are printed in color. If Print inserted objects in color is not selected then the inserted objects print as displayed in the drawing.
