You can modify the CUSTPID.HTM file to include links to your own HTML help topics using any HTML editor (Microsoft Word 97 can even be used to create HTML files). This system was devised to enable you to create your own internal set of procedures in HTML format, which may then be accessed directly from within the individual AutoPLANT application help systems. This system also enables you to download or upgrade your existing AutoPLANT help files, while maintaining the integrity of your internally generated HTML procedures. The following procedure explains how to modify CUSTPID.HTM to link your own internal procedures to a Rebis application HTML help system. This examples explains how to create a new HTML file named MyProc1.HTM, then establish a link to this procedure from the CUSTPID.HTM file using Microsoft Word 97. !

The main HTML page of your help system is assigned to the PID keyword in the >+HOS'RFV@ group of your local ..USER\CFG\AT.INI file. The default value of the PID keyword is set up to display the CUSTPID.htm file from your network ..\REBISPIW\HELP directory. You can modify the path and file name to specify your own HTML help start file, or modify the provided CUSTPID.htm file. We recommend that you create a new directory where you will store your custom HTML files, and copy the CUSTPID.htm file into this directory. You will then need to modify the path of the PID keyword in your AT.INI file in order for the button below to find this file. This will prevent future upgrades to your AutoPLANT software from overwriting your customized HTML help.

Upon implementation of the Rebis Security Manager, no existing hardware locks will be authorized for use with applications. This means the old hardware locks will not work with the new applications. Clients should keep their old hardware locks to allow product support for older versions. The read-only properties of the existing hardware lock can only be viewed within the Configuration View, not authorized. The Rebis Security Configuration Manager provides a help file with detailed instructions for authorizing your software. Start the application by selecting Rebis Security/Rebis Security Configuration Manager from your Windows Start menu, then select Help/Contents to view this information.

G81D 9C 1ED?@<1>D @94 AutoPLANT P&ID provides companies with an indispensable tool for creating "intelligent plant schematics." Utilizing the power of AutoCAD® with an external relational database environment to create the "intelligent plant schematics," companies and engineers can now learn more about their plant design in a fraction of the time that is needed to study hundreds of layout drawings or 3D models. P&ID provides a cost efficient application for companies by reducing the design and documentation time for capturing process information for system design and plant studies (HAZOP studies, etc.), ensuring compliance to OSHA 1910 and ISO standards. Through its "scaleable design," P&ID is suitable for large, midsized and small engineering companies and plant operators providing a key tool for the lifecycle design and documentation of process plants.
@B?35CC 1>4 9>CDBE=5>D1D9?> G?B;7B?E@ 9>D57B1D9?> The Process and Instrumentation Workgroups are designed to compliment each other, making it easier for you to share, build, and manage valuable project data. Using a central database as a Project Repository, several applications can easily share the same data. You can edit the data on a project-wide basis, drastically reducing the time it takes to bring a data-intensive project to completion. In addition to the time saving benefits, managers will also appreciate the wealth of reports that can be generated from a centralized system.

9^cdbe]U^dQdY_^ GYbY^W AutoPLANT Instrumentation & Wiring was re-written in response to several overriding factors. Due to the lack of support for Visual FoxPro from Microsoft and the continuing troubles with the controls provided in the Visual FoxPro programming language, the new Instrumentation & Wiring interface has been re-written in Visual Basic 6.0. Due to several user requests for an interface that provided more flexibility when modifying the instrumentation structure and reports, Instrumentation & Wiring has been modified to use the same engine as the Data Manager module. This provides users with a familiar interface because of previous experience with modifying views, tables, and reports in the Data Manager module. Also this allows users to leverage their existing Microsoft Access knowledge when modifying a project’s structure. Finally, the new interface speeds up the process of opening a project as the FoxPro ODBC drivers forced the previous version to open all tables and store them in local cursors before opening.

>QfYWQd_b AutoPLANT Navigator provides an easy-to-use environment to manage critical plant data and documentation. The tree-like user interface allows you to quickly navigate to a specific component to view operating data and associated documentation. AutoPLANT Navigator and the AutoPlant P&ID Workgroup share a common relational database model for storage of all plant data including process equipment, lines, valves and instrumentation. Changes made to a P&ID are immediately available through the AutoPLANT Navigator interface. By sharing a common relational database, errors and data maintenance costs associated with duplicate data are virtually eliminated.
@94 AutoPLANT P&ID provides companies with an indispensable tool for creating "intelligent plant schematics." Utilizing the power of AutoCAD® with an external relational database environment to create the "intelligent plant schematics," companies and engineers can now learn more about their plant design in a fraction of the time that is needed to study hundreds of layout drawings or 3D models. P&ID provides a cost efficient application for companies by reducing the design and documentation time for capturing process information for system design and plant studies (HAZOP studies, etc.), ensuring compliance to OSHA 1910 and ISO standards. Through its "scaleable design," P&ID is suitable for large, midsized and small engineering companies and plant operators providing a key tool for the lifecycle design and documentation of process plants.
@94 3_^fUbdUb Just about all companies have P&ID drawings in some form, that represent the schematic map of their process plants which needs to be maintained. For the Engineering Consulting firms, you probably received P&IDs from the client, and you are requested to redraw or use them as the basis for a plant project. Most of these P&IDs were probably developed using straight AutoCAD®, without a third party developer's software package, but using internally developed symbol libraries to suit client/company standards. For those who did use a third party software application, Rebis can convert many of the drawings generated by those systems as well. The AutoPLANT P&ID Conversion Toolkit is essential to both the owner/operator and the engineering contractor as it provides the ability to very quickly convert these attribute/nonattribute, non-intelligent P&ID drawings to intelligent AutoPLANT P&ID drawings. Attribute and text information in these drawings can be extracted and stored in the AutoPLANT P&ID external project database without the expense of redrawing all of the P&IDs.
@b_ZUSd 5TYd_b The AutoPLANT Project Editor enables you to manage projects, edit database configurations and tag types, and to control system administration functions for creating users, assigning users to groups, granting user/group rights, and creating user/group functions and levels of access.

@94=5>E 3?==1>4 B565B5>35 5^dUb DQW >e]RUb 4YQ\_W The Enter Tag Number dialog aids in the creation of Tag Numbers assigned to components and stored by the database. The default tagging format for an item requires a two-part Tag made up of an alphabetic item indicator (e.g., E for generic equipment, etc.), a dash separator (-), and a numeric sequence number (e.g., 001, 100, etc.). The combined Tag should be unique.
>_dU
If a Tag Number is entered which has already been assigned, the AutoPLANT Database Message dialog displays warning that the Tag already exists. By allowing a duplicate Tag Number to be assigned, a second item is created using the same Tag Number. Changes made to either item sharing the same Tag affect both items.
>_dU
This dialog will vary slightly depending on the symbol being placed. For example, a pump will only request a type (alphabetic item type indicator) and number (numeric item type indicator) while an instrument will prompt for area, type, and number. All Tag Number information can be customized to fit your company standards.

Normally, when the CATT command is used to alter Instrument bubble text, the Instrument bubble is fixed automatically. This functionality can be turned OFF by changing the cattbubchk variable in the PID-SUP.LSP file. If the variable has been changed, use the Clean Up Bubble command to manually fix the bubble.
In the example below, step one placed a Control Valve at Annotation level 1 with the default text V-1. In step two, the instrument text was edited to FV-12345 (with the cattbubchk variable turned off). In the final step, the instrument text was edited to CV-12345 and the Clean Up Bubble command was used. 4-68
