Task 11. Read in the new XML file and re-designate components. 

A change has occured in the P&ID schematic that will need to be reflected in the 3D piping model.  The piping engineer discovered a problem with the flow velocity to the compressor and indicated that a new XML file is available to transfer the design changes.  Optional: Click here to step through the changes made to the P&ID in Routed System Designer.

  1. Click Designation from the menu manager.
  2. Select the pipeline of LEG-3.
  3. Click Open  to browse for the XML file.
  4. Ensure the path is set to piping_specs\rsd_xml.
  5. Select the piping_leg3_mod.xml file and click Open.
  6. Click Info > Schematic Check from the Pipeline Designation dialog box.
    Notice the three  ‘X’ notations in the status column regarding R1, GV1, CV1, IC-2, and the pipeline segment connecting these components.

  7. Click Close from the information window.
  8. Select the Fittings Tab.
    Notice that there is additional undesignated entries for R1, GV1, and CV1 since the schematic data has changed since the components were placed in the model.


  9. Click Store Designation Info .
    Notice that the R1, GV1, and CV1 designations are removed from the piping tree.
