CADWorx Plant I tab: LNum > Setup

Line Number toolbar: Setup

Plant menu: Accessory > Line Numbers > Setup

Command line: NUMBERSETUP

Modifies any line number configuration. You can turn the line numbering system on or off. If the system is on, it can operate in a static or dynamic mode.

In the dynamic mode, CADWorx adjusts the line number according to the size or specification. In the static mode, you must manually change the size and specification. Static is useful when all components and sizes of a particular piping run are required to have the same line number (such as, the 3/4″ vent on an 8″ process line needs a line number of 8″-150-2001-N). Static line numbering is also useful when selecting runs of piping for other functions with CADWorx. For more information, see LineNumberSystem.

This system also works with a CADWorx P&ID setup configuration file. You can change the configuration file location in SETUP to use the same project configuration as any P&ID project. For more information, see Setup. Click Add in the Category group in this dialog box to select additional fields located in the process lines table of a typical P&ID project database. When using a P&ID project, changes made to a line number configuration within CADWorx reflect within the P&ID project.

If the system is not using a CADWorx P&ID setup configuration file, the additional fields are obtained from the DATABASE.TBL file located in the [Product Folder]\Plant\System folder. You must manually edit this file for any modifications required of the existing fields within the default line number system.

Line Numbering System Dialog Box

You can add these items to any line number system. After you select an item, click Add to place it in the Category list. Highlight the item in the right list box, and then click Delete to remove it from the line number system. You can also type in a value, and then click Add.

Default Value

Adds any default value to any category included in the Category list. The size and specification are disabled if the system is set to the dynamic mode.

System Off

Indicates that line numbers do not place in the drawing.

System On (Dynamic Size/Spec)

Indicates that each component placed in the drawing receives a line number.

CONVERTFROMPRJDATA updates all selected components in the drawing to your current settings. If you run CONVERTFROMPRJDATA with this setting and do not have the Line number check box in the Apply Change Data Rule dialog box selected, the software changes your line number to the current values. For example, if you set the count to 1500, change a line number to 1506, and then run CONVERTFROMPRJDATA, the software changes any values in the line numbers back to 1500. For more information, see Apply Change Data Rule Dialog Box.

System On (Static Size/Spec)

Indicates that the line number system uses the value in the Default value box, including the size and specification. This allows you to type anything for the size and specification.

CONVERTFROMPRJDATA updates all selected components in the drawing to your current settings. If you run CONVERTFROMPRJDATA with this setting and do not have the Line number option in the Apply Change Data Rule dialog box selected, the software changes your line number to the current value set in Default Value. For example, if you have a line number specification set to 600, with a Default Value of 150, and then run CONVERTFROMPRJDATA, the software changes any values in the 600 specification line numbers back to 150. For more information, see Apply Change Data Rule Dialog Box.

Preview

Displays the line number based on the selected categories. The line number added to components looks similar to the Preview value.

Move Up
