Hi, We have the following workflow for creating piping drawings with OPM SS5 with PW SS4: 1. Create a SnapShot model and reference out pipes (units, not directly pipelines) from PW repository to a SnapShot model. This can be updated by Update all command manually. 2. Create a model DrawingDefinition(s). In this model is referenced all needed models from project, included piping model. In this model is also created all saved views (using Dynamic views) needed in the following 2d drawings. 3. Create 2d model for drawings as a sheet model. Here is reference(s) using saved views from DrawingDefinition model. And in this model is attached a border as a cell, all dimensions and detailings are added, also piping annotation. Title block is updated using ProjectWise. Drawings are printed to pdf files into PW folders. AutoCad conversion is done directly from MicroStation using Export DGN/DWG utility. This is quite time consuming, should be improved. Updating SnapShot model manually is also quite stupid, but I think it is possible to do some automation using i-model composer. This was a short list how we are doing now piping drawings now. I hope it helps a little. Please give comments. Pekka
