Edit a Pipe Component with the Dimension Table

Piping Design

You can define precise dimensions for a component by editing the size of a pipe or pipe section in the dimension table.

  1. Do either of the following:
    • Double-click the component in the assembly tree or the model.
    • Select the component and then select the context-sensitive function Dimension Table.
  2. Edit the component data in the dimension table.
    • Edit the dimensions in a freely editable field.
    • If the dimension table has a Click .. button, click the button and define the dimension by clicking it in the model. For example, you can define the length of a pipe or valve by clicking two points.
    • The Dimensions Fixed selection will have an effect when you edit a pipeline by dragging a component. Fixed dimensions will not change. Fixing dimensions affects straight pipes and pipe elbows.
Note:
  • You can also define geometric constraints between components. For example, add a Distance constraint between the centerlines of pipes.
  • Edit the sections of a bent pipe as separate parts.
