To Designate Schematic Information
1. Click Operations > Designation. The Pipeline Designation dialog box opens.
2. Under Designate Pipeline, click and select an existing pipeline.
3. Under Schematic, click to select the appropriate XML file from the directory specified by the piping_schematic_xml_dir configuration option. You can also select an XML file from any other directory.
4. Select the appropriate schematic label to associate the Creo Parametric pipeline with the schematic pipeline.
5. Under Constrict Assembly, the top level assembly is selected by default to search for the components. Click to select another assembly to restrict the search of the components.
6. Click Reload to reload or refresh the schematic information from the XML file for the selected designated pipeline.
7. Click Undesignate to remove the schematic information from the selected pipeline. The pipeline is no longer a schematic driven pipeline.
8. Click the Equipment tab to designate the equipment related to the pipeline. In the Designate Equipment table, the schematic equipment are listed under the Designator column and their corresponding 3D equipment are listed under the Component column.
9. Select a row from the Designate Equipment table, then click Designate to select a 3D equipment to designate, or click Undesignate to undesignate a designated 3D equipment.
* 
Designate is enabled only if:
The Status column shows the status as Missing. In this case, click Options > Allow Mismatch and select the components. The Status column then changes to Manual Match.
The Status column shows the status as Multiple. Multiple components are highlighted.
10. If the equipment has nozzles, they will be listed in the Designate Nozzles table. The schematic nozzles are listed under the Designator column and their corresponding 3D nozzles are listed under the Component column. Select a row from the Designate Nozzles table and click Designate to select a 3D nozzle to designate, or click Undesignate to undesignate a designated 3D nozzle.
11. Click the Fittings tab to designate fittings of the pipeline. In the Designate Fittings table, the schematic fittings are listed under the Designator column and their corresponding 3D fittings are listed under the Component column.
12. Select a row from the Designate Fittings table, and click Designate to select a 3D fitting to designate, or click Undesignate to undesignate a designated 3D fitting.
13. Click the Fittings tab to designate branches of the pipeline. In the Designate Branches table, the schematic branches are listed under the Designator column and their corresponding 3D branches are listed under the Component column. Select a row from the Designate Branches table and click Designate to select a 3D branch point or a 3D tee fitting to designate. Click Undesignate to undesignate a designated 3D branch point or a 3D tee fitting.
14. Click or to commit the designations or undesignation, or click to cancel the designation or undesignation.
