Applies To Customization/How-To Product(s): OpenPLANT PID Version(s): 08.11.10.xx Environment: Windows 7 64 bit & Others Area: Component Customization Subarea: Original Author: Brandon Moberg Description: How do calculate and customize the PID Text Style Size for components? Text Styles are created and generated from the referenced .DGNLIB file. They are not a 1:1 relationship where the value comes directly from the .DGNLIB Text Style value. The value in the DGNLIB is calculated per the drawings Master Units and Sub Units. In the example below we are working with an Imperial Project which used the Master Units:Sub Units Feet:Inches. Which units is my drawing using? Use the following step: 1. Open the P&ID in question. 2. Select Settings > Design File. 3. Select Working Units in the Category section of the Design File Settings Dialog. Notice the Linear Units as shown below: Once you know which Linear Units you are using and you know which size (Height and Width) your project is requiring then all that is needed is the calcuations and modifications in the Text Style values for the DGNLIB file. Text Style Window (DGNLIB) Text Styles Window (P&ID Drawing) - To update from the modified DGNLIB file right click on the text style "PID" and select Update from Library.
