Fix the Direction of a Pipe
Piping Design
This function can be used to lock the direction of a pipe. Fixing the direction prevents the pipe's direction from changing when you drag a pipeline section in a model. You can select more than one pipe to be fixed at once. Previously performed direction fixings are retained.
- Do either of the following:
- Select one or more pipes from the model.
- Select one or more pipes from the assembly tree.
- Select the context-sensitive function Constraints> Fix Direction.
Note:
- The direction of a pipe added in the vertical direction (Z axis) will be automatically fixed.
- You can also fix a pipe in place, preventing its position from changing on the plane.
- You can release a direction fixing by selecting the context-sensitive function Unfix Direction.
