Dimension

Menu access: Piping | Dimension

Description:

Allows you to create quick dimensions on your pipeline 2D view (created with Pipeline | Main view).

You can create a dimension on one component or between two component.

The dimensions are connected with the component on its dimension points defined in the component model file  with the function Piping | Define dimension points.

General philosophy:

  1. Select the piping 2D view on which you want to add dimensions.

  2. Select a line of the first component.

  3. Click on the  STOP  button if you just want to dimension this component or select an other component of the pipeline the create a dimension between them.

  4. Position the dimension.

Available option(s):

The option  Orientation= MEASURE..... allows you to choose according which plane you want to dimension the component.

The button  ALIGNMENT  allows you to select a point, line or an other dimension to align it with this element.

Specific point(s):

In this version, you can only dimension length; you cannot dimension angle on isometric view.
