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
You can now right click on any component or pipeline path from the Smap3D Piping Tree and “Zoom To” from the RMB context menu to zoom in on that item.
