Issues fixed with this Service Pack:

Customer Reported (CER) Defects

P&ID Drawings

• The Connect Off-page Connector dialog box did not display drawings in alphabetical order.

• P&ID line components and equipment did not display the correct color when opened in AutoCAD using object enablers.

Report Creator

• The Test Query button did not display at the correct location in the Query Configuration dialog box.

Vault Projects

• After setting lifecycle properties in Autodesk Vault (Vault Explorer) for a file, Project Manager could not open the file.

Fixes that apply to AutoCAD Plant 3D only:

3D Model

• If the line number of a piping component is modified outside the project (offline edit), adding the drawing back to the project can result in the component belonging to more than one line group.
• Bolts were not added to wafer joints with an LFL to WF connection.

Isometric Drawings

• A new setting is available that allows you to specify whether or not dimensions extend into continuation graphics. You can add a new attribute DimensionToContinuation="true" to the Dimensions element in IsoConfig.xml. Download a sample here: IsoConfig.xml.
• Weights added to an Iso Spool BOM table now display correct results. To complete the fix, add a new attribute UseAlternateUnitsStyle="true" to the AggregatedList element with type IsoGeneralDataListConfig in IsoConfig.xml. Download a sample here: IsoConfig.xml.
• Attributes for custom project properties now display in isometric drawings.
• Continuation annotations display additional properties for a branch connection (including LDT properties).
• Tracing lines now display correctly if an olet and a dummy leg are located on the same header pipe.
• In IsoSkeyAcadBlockMap.xml, additional flange types can now be added to the Asymmetric Component list.
• Dimensions are now correct for a stub-in branch with a reinforcement pad.

Spec Editor

• The StandardBoltLength table is now included and retained in a spec file.
