Custom Junction Icons

Right-clicking a junction icon in the Toolbox will open the Customize Icon window. A different icon can be selected from the predefined assortment, or a custom image can be uploaded using the Add Image button. This functionality enables you to use standard P&ID icons or custom images to visually represent your equipment. By using recognizable icons, you can improve the clarity and comprehension of model results, especially for those who may not be familiar with the default AFT junction icons.

Note: The Annotation Tool also supports triangle and cloud shapes which can be used in combination with the Notes section on the Scenario tab of the Quick Access Panel to designate revisions of the model file, similar to a typical P&ID drawing.

The Customize Icon window allows a custom image to be applied to any junction
