To Place Reducing Piping Components
Below is a common
standard procedure for placing reducing piping components such as Elbows, Tees,
Crosses, etc.
- Open the Standard Preferences dialog and set the pipeline, specification and component values.
- Select one of the reducing component options from one of the Piping galleries. (Elbows, Tees, etc.)
- When the Spec Record Selection dialog displays, select the reducing option from the list and click OK.
- Select a Placement Point option (MAIN_PORT, RUN_PORT, BRANCH_PORT, OTHER) from the Place Componentdialog.
- Click the Properties tab and define any specific properties necessary for the component.
- 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.
- Optional: If placing the component in space (not connected to an existing component) pick a point in the drawing to define the direction.
- Pick a point in the drawing to define the rotation and complete the placement process.
