Copy Pipeline
Plant Engineering > Pipeline Tools > Copy pipeline 
This function enables you to copy the pipeline, under a different name, within a drawing.
- Select the pipeline that you want to copy.
- When HiCAD displays the pipeline separately, select a suitable reference point, e.g. on the end of the pipeline by which the pipeline should be joined to another part.
- When HiCAD shows the drawing again, specify the fitting point on which the reference point on the pipeline copy should be set.
- You are now prompted to specify a name for the new pipeline. HiCAD checks to see if the has already been assigned to a pipeline in the active drawing. If it already exists, an appropriate message is issued.
If the layout plan containing the pipeline is linked to a P+ID, the reference to the associated P+ID symbol is automatically deleted from the pipeline copy.
Please note:
- To copy and paste pipelines, you can also use the corresponding clipboard functions in the ICN:
- Copy to HiCAD clipboard
- Paste from HiCAD clipboard
When pasting from the clipboard, HiCAD takes care not to insert a pipeline below another pipeline.
-
Pipelines can also be mirrored and cloned using the functions on the 3-D Standard Ribbon.
