Pipe
|
Displays the pipe number (Pipe 1, Pipe 2,
Pipe 3 etc). Adding pipes increments the pipe number. When the pipe
row is selected,
Duplicate and
Remove settings are enabled.
|
Pipe Dia
|
Sets the pipe nominal diameter.
|
Pipe OD
|
Sets the pipe outside diameter.
|
Center Offset
|
Sets the spacing between the selected pipe and the
pipe preceding it in the list.
|
Family::Part
|
Sets the Family and Part for each pipe. Clicking in
the cell opens a Family/Part picker.
|
End Type
|
Sets the type and size of the pipe ends using the
following formats:
-
fl
-<numeric value> - Sets and sizes
end with a flange connection.
-
m
-<numeric value> - Sets and sizes
end with a male connection.
- fe
-<numeric value> - Sets and sizes
end with a female connection.
You can also separate
End Type entries for each pipe with a semi
colon.
Example:
fl-2;fe-.13 creates a flange at End1 with
size 2, and a female connection at End2 with an overall reduction of
component's dimensions of .13
|
Insulation Thickness
|
Sets insulation thickness. Insulation is presented
in the preview with a yellow dashed line. Offsets and placement points
reference the insulated pipe.
|
Catalog Name
|
Set by application if catalog is available.
|
Match Primary Pipe
|
When on, the pipe settings are matched to those set
for the primary pipe.
|
Promote to 3D in Process
|
When on, pipes are generated as 3D elements in the
model as you route the Multi-Pipe. When off, pipes are generated as 2D single
line elements as you route. The 3D elements are then generated all at once
after the last Multi-Pipe segment is accepted.
|
Add
|
Adds a new pipe to the Multi-Pipe.
Note: Default
maximum number of rows is 6. Can be changed via configuration variable
BMECH_MULTIPIPE_LIMIT.
|
Duplicate
|
Creates a copy of the selected pipe and adds it to the
end of the table.
|
Remove
|
Deletes the selected pipe.
|
Restore Default
|
Cancels all your current changes and restores the
Place Muti-Pipe settings dialog to it's default state.

Initiates placement once all settings are completed.
Allows you to proceed to route with the Multi-Pipe.
Tip: When routing around obstacles in
3D space, the Multi-Pipe and AccuDraw Compass may need to be reoriented to
allow you to change the routing plane. Pressing the <Shift> key acts
as a toggle to change the orientation for routing on a different plane.
