If you set the small pipe fitting type in the current spec to socket weld, AutoORTHO automatically adds a Plain Both Ends nipple.

The system adds nipple length and ends (PBE - Plain Both Ends) to the nipple INFO block.

To set the small pipe fitting setting to socket weld, see Piping Spec Overrides.

Plain end pipe nipples appear in full length.

When you insert a pipe nipple in double line drafting mode, select the inside of the socket as the nipple’s start point. If necessary, trim the pipe nipple's protrusion into the fittings.

To reveal the protrusion lines you want to trim, freeze the DEFPOINTS layer. This hides the socket depth construction lines. See Freeze DEFPOINTS Layer.
