Pipeline Tools (PE)

Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools

The Pipeline Tools function group contains functions for the processing of pipelines:

Change pipe class and/or nominal diameter of all parts

This function enables you to automatically change the pipe class and/or nominal diameter of all parts on an existing pipeline.

Click to open a pull-down menu with further functions for pipelines:

	Divide pipeline
	Change pipeline colour
	Change pipeline layer
	Change pipeline name
	Determine volume
	Fit insulation
	Delete insulation
	Display insulation
	Show insulation
	Hide insulation
	Start ROHR2
	Create ROHR2 NTR file

Assign pipe class and/or nominal diameter

This function enables you to change the pipe classes and/or nominal diameters assigned to a pipeline during creation.

Click to open a pull-down menu with further functions for the checking of pipelines:

	Check part structure (active pipeline)
	Check for invalid nominal diameter matings (active pipeline)
	Check pipe lengths (active pipeline)
	Check validity of nominal part diameters
	Check part structure (all pipelines)
	Check for invalid nominal diameter matings (active pipeline)
	Check pipe lengths (all pipelines)

Move+Rotate

This function enables you to move and rotate a pipeline, i.e. change its position and alignment.

Copy pipeline

This function enables you to copy the pipeline, under a different name, within a drawing.

Delete pipeline

Use this function to completely delete a pipeline in a drawing.

Some of the options refer to active pipelines. If a pipeline is not active, HiCAD expects you to activate one. If a pipeline is active, HiCAD selects it and displays the prompt Correct pipeline active?. If you want to process a different one, respond with No and select the required pipeline.
