Bill of Material Dialog Box

Material Block

Use this toggle to insert material data when you insert piping components. When you insert components, AutoORTHO writes all available material data into the component’s INFO block.

Caution: The system uses material data to generate the Bill of Materials. If you deactivate this toggle, you cannot generate a B.O.M.

The default setting is ‘on’.

Scale Factor for Material ID Balloons

The size of the material ID balloon in the drawing when the Component Numbers or the Single Material Balloon routines on the BOM tab is used will be the size of the original balloon multiplied by the scale factor of the drawing and the scale factor defined in this parameter.  The original size of the balloon is 0.5”.

The minimum pipe allowed between fittings will be the pipe outside diameter multiplied by this value.  For example, for a 4” NPS pipe, a minimum of 8” of pipe length will be expected.
