Assign Guideline Remainder to Another Pipeline

Plant Engineering > Guideline Tools > Guide. > Assign guideline remainder to another pipeline

A guideline, initially belonging to a specific pipeline, can be divided so that a section of the guideline extending from the point of division to the end or start point can -provided that no parts have been assigned to it yet - be assigned to another pipeline.

Proceed as follows:

1. Select the segment of the guideline that you want to assign to another pipeline. The position of the graphic cursor determines which segment of the guideline will be selected. Please note that the selected segment must not contain any parts!

2. Select the target pipeline. The selected guideline section will be assigned to this pipeline (if the pipeline to which you want assign the guideline remainder does not exist yet, create it using the Create pipeline function).

Please note:

• The original pipeline can also be used as target pipeline. This will only divide the guideline, but not assign it otherwise.

In the image below the chosen section has been assigned to Pipeline 1, i.e. the original pipeline. This causes a division of the guideline at the pink point:

• You can also select the entire guideline as one section, provided that no parts have been placed on it yet. This allows you to assign the entire guideline to a different pipeline.

In the image below, the complete guideline of Pipeline 1 has been assigned to Pipeline 2:
