Creating Sub-assemblies from the To-Do List

 When creating sub-assemblies from the To-Do list, there is now a new option in the Plant Design Administrator to have more control over the file naming convention. This option is particularly important when using a PDM system to prevent duplicate file names of pipelines in the vault from one project to another. With this option you can add the upper level assembly’s name as a prefix or suffix to the newly created sub-assembly matching the tag number of the pipeline from the connected P&ID.

 Zoom To from the Piping Tree

Positioning the output for Smap3D Isometric Drawings

Now you have more control of the orientation of the output of your Smap3D Isometric Drawings so you don’t have to alter the position of you CAD model as there are more options within the Isometric tool.
