Bundle
The Place Bundle command places a conduit bundle from or to a previously placed enclosure.
Place a Bundle
- From the Placement section of the Duct Tab select Bundle:
- The Place Duct Bundle dialog opens:
- Select the Type of Bundle and the Wall.
- Key in a unique Name for the bundle.
- Activate the Post check box to post the bundle name on the map.
- Activate the Calculate check box; this allows the function to automatically measure the bundle length on the map. Uncheck the calculate check box if distance needs to be entered manually.
- Place the bundle segments and click the right mouse button to complete. If activated, bundle name appears on the cursor for placement on the map. A new enclosure is created. Locate the enclosure on the map at the end of the bundle or click on the right mouse button to set the enclosure angle.
- If the bundle is placed on
an existing enclosure, a window opens questioning if this is where the link
should be made.
Note: By default, the Duct bundle will always be trimmed out to the edges of the Duct enclosure. If ‘DUCT_NOTRIM’ is desired, the following variable can be added to the macro section of the project schema to disable the bundle trimout. (IF THIS VARIABLE IS DEFINED, EXISTING DUCT MUST BE EXTENDED MANUALLY):
