Position a Component on a Pipe

Piping Design

You can use this function to see a component in the position it will be set when you move the component near to a grip point on a pipe.

Whether you select this function or not, the component will be positioned on the pipe in the same way after you have clicked a grip point.

  • Click

    The pipe component on a cursor tip will automatically flip in accordance with lines, faces and grip points when moving the cursor.

  • Click

    The component on a cursor tip will automatically flip after selecting the element, if the selected element is a handle of another piping component or a center line.

    1. If you move the component near to a grip point on the pipe, it would appear that the component will be incorrectly positioned.
    2. Only after you have clicked a grip point on the pipe will the component be rotated into the correct position.

You can use this function when adding a piping component in, for example, the following cases:

  • When moving a component near to a grip point.
  • When moving a component near to a center line.
