About Instances of Piping Objects

A unique type of instance exists for every type of piping reference. This instance specialization allows you to define a specific set of attributes or text templates for every type.

Warning: Specific behavior on specialized instances cannot be applied to nonspecialized instances from previous versions (for example, text template on Logical Pipe Instance cannot be applied on a Logical Instance.)

The table below provides you with the name of all the piping references types with their associated instance types:
