Note that the property names can be whatever you want them to be, but they should not be the same from one class to another. Rather than try to describe each individual step here, I have recorded a short video of the steps I used too to accomplish this. As with all of my tips, I will say that this may not be the best, or even the only way to do this. After a few hours, I finally managed to put together a workflow that gave me what I was looking for. So, I used this as a starting point and did some trial and error testing with rules and custom properties. I did find a video that showed the steps needed for these rules, but the forum thread I found it in went on to report that it no longer worked. I take it as a personal challenge, as I did this past week. I don’t like to be told that my software can’t do something I need it to do. There was no easy workflow described, and in fact several of the posts I read said that this is something that can be fairly difficult to achieve.
I searched the internet, including the Autodesk Community forum for AutoCAD P&ID. None of the signal lines, or general instrument symbols contained any of the necessary acquisition rules to make this happen.
This turned out to be more of a challenge than I thought it should be. I wanted to create a simple instrument loop where, after placing a primary instrument on a line, all related instruments connected to it took on the same instrument loop number. One that should have been relatively easy.
In my test project, I ran into one particularly challenging operation. It took a little while just to remember where I had left off, but before long I was making progress again toward getting things set up to our company standards. After one of the craziest summers I have seen since I have been on this job, I finally got a chance last week to get back into setting up my AutoCAD P&ID software.
