P&ID - Pipe routing On-Off sheet connector

Introduction

on-off sheet connector is used to represent discontinu pipe routing

  • if the pipe routing stop in one P&ID Sheet and continue in another P&ID Sheet then it is called Off Sheet connector
  • if the pipe routing stop in one P&ID Sheet and continue in another location in the same P&ID Sheet then it is called On Sheet connector

At the end it is the same pipe instance object that is represented by multiple route

To indicate that the pipe is continuing somewhere else yo ucan define On-Off  sheet symbols that will be placed automatically depending on :

  • does the pipe continue in same sheet or different sheet
  • route object type : pipe, duct, ...
  • flow direction  

These symbol can be parametrize with the shape and text you want and they will be stored into the Datasetup

You can have also multiple sheet conenctor shape for the same couple of criteria, in this case the user will select the one he want manually
