Assigning Components to 3D Occurrences

In cases where already placed occurrences (components) in a 3D assembly do exist, and you need to interconnect these 3D components to a P&ID component, you can use the following techniques.

If an assignment was made by mistake or it is not further desirable, it can be canceled easily.

How to assign a component to 3D occurrence

For assigning components to 3D occurrences there are two commands available.

These can be used as described below.

Using the Add component to occurrence in CAD command

To add component to occurrence in CAD, follow these steps:

1. Select desired unassigned component in To-Do List.

2. Start the Assign component to occurrence in CAD .

3. Select desired 3D occurrence in CAD application or Piping tree view.

Using the Add component to selected occurrence in CAD command

To add component to selected occurrence in CAD,  follow these steps:

1. Select desired 3D occurrence in CAD application or Piping tree view.

2. Select corresponding unassigned component in To-Do List.

3. Start the Assign component to selected occurrence in CAD .

Using the Assign no 3D object to this component in CAD command

To assign no 3D object, so the group looks finished, follow these steps:

1. Select an unassigned component in To-Do List.

2. Select the Assign no 3D object to this component .

How to unassign a component

To unassign an already assigned component, follow these steps:

1. Select an assigned component in To-Do List.

2. Select the Unassign component .
