To configure line behavior

  1. In the Project Setup tree view, expand P&ID DWG Settings. Click Line Settings.
  2. On the Line Settings pane, under Line Crossing Style, click Gap or Loop.
  3. In the Gap/Loop Width box, enter a number to represent the amount of space, in units, between two crossing lines. (Units refers to project units, such as inches for imperial or millimeters for metric.)
  4. Under Manual Gap Symbol, in the Symbol drop-down list, click a gap symbol to use to represent a gap between lines.
  5. Under Standoff Distance, in the Standoff X box, enter a number to set the shortest possible distance, in units, that designers can draw between a 90-degree elbow and a piece of equipment.
  6. Under Schematic Line Grips, in the Grip Settings drop-down list, click a grip behavior option.
  7. To control automatic cornering behavior of orthogonal lines when they connect to a component, select the check box labeled Create Ortho Schematic Lines.

    If this option is selected, ORTHO is temporarily turned on when the SLINE command is used, and corner points are implied. If this option is cleared, ORTHO is turned off temporarily when a designer enters the SLINE command.

  8. To control whether inline components are moved with schematic lines, select the check box labeled Maintain Sline Connection When Moving Assets.

    If this option is selected, inline components move with the schematic line to which they are connected. If this option is cleared, inline components become detached when schematic lines are moved.
