Insert P&ID components
Use the Insert P&ID Component tool to insert a component into the drawing.
1 Click Schematic tab ➤ Insert Components panel ➤
➤ Insert
P&ID Components.
2 In the Insert Component dialog box, select the starting orientation for
the component: horizontal or vertical.
3 (Optional) If you want to turn off the Insert/Edit Component dialog box
when inserting symbols onto the drawing, select No edit dialog box.
4 (Optional) If you want to insert the component, untagged (for example,
without assigning a unique Component Tag), select No tag. The untagged
value that displays is the TAG1/TAG2 default value of the component.
5 Select the component to insert from the Symbol Preview window.
The Recently Used column displays components inserted during the
current editing session. You can also select the component to insert from
this list.
6 Specify the insertion point in the drawing.
The orientation of the symbol tries to match the underlying wire. The
wire breaks automatically if the symbol lands on it.
7 In the Insert/Edit Component dialog box, annotate the component.
8 Click OK.
