What you should do is create basic templates and UDTs for each device/equipment in your system that matches up with the AOI for said device/equipment, doing it in such a way that I can add multiple different instances to the same window.

For instance, for a pump it would be something like:

1. pump port location (INT 0-3)
2. pump port direction (BOOL - horizontal/vertical)
3. base location (INT 0-3)
4. label string (STRING)
5. instance path (STRING - path to UDT instance)

(for vision) I use basic rectangles for pipes, instead of the more detailed ones. I use the built-in P&ID pipes for perspective. I've also developed a method of using [coordinate containers for process layouts/overviews on Perspective](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/using-pipes-with-flexible-screens-flex-containers/70727/4).
