To Place a Bend Component

  1. Open the Standard Preferences dialog and set the pipeline, specification and component values.
  2. Select a bend component placement option from the Elbows gallery. (This can also include a Generic Bend)
  3. When the Spec Record Selection dialog displays, select an option from the list and click OK.
  4. Select a Placement Point option (MAIN_PORT, RUN_PORT, OTHER) from the Place Component dialog.
  5. Click the Properties tab and define specific property values for the component as necessary using the fields available.
  6. Pick a point in the drawing, or input the (x,y,z) coordinates in the AccuDraw window. If connecting to an existing component, snap to the open end of the component and right-click to accept the point.
  7. Optional: If placing the bend in space (not connected to an existing component) pick a point in the drawing to define the direction.
  8. Pick a point in the drawing to define the rotation and complete the placement process.

    By default, the placement command remains active until another command is selected.
