Enter pipes

Icon:

One or more pipes can be entered, whereby a pipe can consist of several sub-elements.

After executing this command, the following input options appear in properties:

Each pipe is assigned the predefined properties.

During the command sequence, the data can be changed at any time.(*)

The start and end points of the pipe are entered as a line according to chapter entering pipes as line.

The starting point of the connecting pipe is the end point of the previous sub-element, i.e. it does not have to be entered again.

A "thread" appears from this starting point to the current mouse position.

This "thread" is carried along with movements of the mouse.

Once "entering pipes" is completed (if necessary consisting of several sub-elements), all pipes and branch pipes that contain start or end points of a new pipe are disassembled at these points and provided with new sub-numbers.

The new pipe will also be disassembled and re-labeled, if start or end points of other pipes/branch pipes are located on this specific pipe.

(*)

If the value of the CAD system variables COMMANDPROPERTIES equals 0, nothing is displayed in the properties palette.

Instead the properties dialog of the pipe is displayed once the command is executed.
