07b. Break Labels Overview

Consistency Checking
Consistency checking verifies the suitability of work that a designer performs while creating the
drawing. The software verifies, in real-time, if the composition of a drawing and the underlying
data model satisfies rules that your company has defined.

Break
A break label, or property break label, graphically shows that a change occurs or can occur in a
property at some point in the process. This label indicates to the software that an inconsistency
for that property is acceptable. As a result, the software does not issue a warning, or an existing
inconsistency resolves itself when you place the break.

Break labels do not set properties but note that a value change is acceptable for the property at
the indicated point.

Break a Pipe Run

In the drawing, right-click the pipe run that you want to break.

On the shortcut menu, click Break Run.

In the drawing, click the point where you want to break the run.

The software breaks the selected pipe run into two separate runs at the selected point.

07b. Break Labels Overview

If a pipe run includes an inline component, you can break the run on either or both sides of the
component. If you break the run close to the component on all sides, the software creates a pipe
run with a zero length connector at the connect point of the component. You can view this pipe
run in the Engineering Data Editor. This option is not currently available for diagonally drawn
pipe runs.

You can change values for the properties of the new run by clicking it and then entering the
values in the appropriate rows in the Properties window.

If the Properties window is not displayed, then you can display it by clicking the line and then
selecting Edit > Properties.

Place a Break Label

From the List view in Catalog Explorer, select the break label that you want to place.

The Catalog Explorer Tree view node where break labels are located is called Segment Breaks.

07b. Break Labels Overview

Place the break label ( MOC Class) using two-point placement. The first click (1) specifies the
junction in the process line; the second click (2) designates the location for the break label itself.

Continue placing the same break label at other junctions in the drawing, or press Esc to quit
placement mode.

A break label can only be placed at a connection point where the specified properties are being
propagated.

Break labels can be removed using the Delete command. If the break label is removed, the break
is also removed. However, if there is another break label at the same point, the break is not
removed.

You can turn on or off the Is Leader Visible property in Catalog Manager. After you place the
label, you can right-click the label, and then click Leader line display on the shortcut menu to
control the display of the leader line in the drawing software.

Use care when you assign leader lines. You can place several break labels at one point, and
multiple leader lines can be confusing.

Consistency Checking and Break Labels

Toggle On the system editing.

Select the pipeline towards the right of the valve.

Select the ‘MOC Class’ property as M5

Notice that the entire line including the valve receives this property by virtue of ‘System editing’

Now Toggle Off the ‘System editing’.

Now select the valve and select M6 as MOC class.

Only the valve receives the value of M6 because the System Editing is off.

Notice that the software is not showing the inconsistency between the valve and the right side of
the piperun by virtue of the MOC Class break label whereas towards the left there is an
inconsistency indicator.

Verify the inconsistency.

A property break is a point in a connected network of objects where a property value changes. A
user can define a property break by the placement of a break label. A property break is an
exception to the consistency criteria defined in a rule. A property break defines a limitation to the
spread of the propagation scope. Whereas rules provide the general definition of the scope,
property breaks provide specific limitations of the scope.

The Consistency Check dialog box shows the consistency criteria that apply at the selected
relationship indicator. All of the properties that are copied and compared across this connection

are shown. When the user has placed a break label, the copy and compare columns show icons
that indicate that no copy and compare operations are performed for the properties in the label.

Break labels can be placed directly from the catalog explorer. A group of break labels is
currently delivered under Piping\SegmentBreaks. Break label can only be placed at a connection
point where the specified properties are being propagated. When a break label is placed
interactively, the corresponding property break data is added to the Relationship object.
Break labels can be deleted in the standard way using the Delete command. When a break label is
deleted the break is removed from the Relationship object. However, if there is another break
label at this same point that also breaks this property, then the break would not be removed.
