Change Diagram Symbol

The PI symbol on the diagram can be replaced in the following ways:

• By adding a new symbol over the old one.
• By changing the symbol classification into the Class field in the device card.
• By changing classifications in the project database Components > Equipments.

If necessary, the program can verify the replacement of the symbol or the replacement can occur automatically.

In the replacement of a symbol, the new symbol inherits the position text and other visible attributes and all attribute data from the old symbol except for the symbol-specific CLASSIFICATION data.

The new symbol binds to the diagram line according to the old symbol if the new symbol is placed on the diagram line.

Replace the symbol by adding a new one over the old one

1. Start adding a diagram symbol and select a symbol from the library that you want to replace an existing symbol.
2. Place the new symbol over the existing symbol in the diagram.
3. The program asks if the old symbol is deleted and if the existing data is copied to the new symbol.

Replace the symbol by changing the classification of the symbol

1. Double-click the diagram symbol.
2. In the classification field, select the classification of the symbol you want.
3. Press OK to exit the device card.
4. The program changes the symbol according to the selected classification in the diagram.

Replace symbols through the project's equipment database by changing the classification
