The Parallel Pipes
tool allows you to easily create a parallel pipework layout, typically used
for a radiator piping system. You also have the ability to connect multiple
radiators to these parallel pipes.
|
|
Pre‐condition:
Two parallel pipe segments (indicated by 2 and 3) are existing in the
drawing.
|
|
1. Select the
“Parallel Pipes” tool from Tool Palette.
|
|
2. Pick one pipe as
the base pipe to route.
|
|
3. Pick the other
pipe as the parallel pipe.
|
|
4. Route forward and
the base pipe layout can be previewed.
|
|
The Parallel Pipes
tool can be used on multiple parallel pipes, and the workflow is the same as
with two pipes mentioned above. This can be useful when routing things such
as medical gas piping (oxygen, vacuum, air, etc) to maintain consistent
spacing between the pipes.

Add Wire “+” Grips
on Devices: Devices (and Panels) now have a + grip to make it easier to add
wires. When picking the + grip Add Wire is started and the circuit is picked
up from the device if it has been assigned. If not, the first unused circuit
matching the device properties is selected as default circuit for the device.
The Circuit list in Wire Add now shows the loads on all circuits to make it
easier to select appropriate circuit.

It is now much
easier to keep Panel Schedules up to date.
|
|
Values in the Panel
Schedule are automatically updated when regenerating the drawing.
|
|
Out of date
notification when a Panel Schedule needs to be updated manually.
|
|
The Panel Schedules
are now created using field codes instead of static texts; if the underlying
value changes the field is automatically updated when the drawing is
regenerated. Some changes in the electrical design like adding or removing
circuits might require rows to be added or deleted in the Panel Schedule.
This kind of change does not happen automatically but the Panel Schedule is
displayed out of date if it needs to be manually updated. Panel Schedules
that are out of date are displayed with a strike‐though line. Right click and
select ‘Update Panel Schedule’ to recreate the Panel Schedule. If you have
Circuit Manager open you will see the out of date graphic almost immediately
after changing
|
|
the design. If not
the out of date graphics will appear after you run Regen, Regenerate Model or
any command that creates output like Plot or Publish.
