Specifies parameters for placing equipment.
New
Displays the Enter value dialog box. This option creates a new piece of equipment and adds it to the Equipment Name list.
The starting location of the equipment defaults to 0, 0, 0 and is marked by the X attribute. The X attribute is a block (xatb.DWG) and is located in the [Product Folder]\Equipment\Support folder. The X attribute is required and must not be removed.
Rename
Displays the Enter value dialog box. This option changes the name of the equipment displayed in the Equipment Name box.
Delete
Removes the equipment displayed in the Equipment Name box. This option erases any components associated with the equipment and removes it from the Equipment Name list. A confirmation message displays requiring you to confirm the deletion.
Location
Specify On-screen
Click the location in the model view to specify the starting point for the equipment.
X
Specifies the X-location for the equipment starting point. This value defaults to zero.
Y
Specifies the Y-location for the equipment starting point. This value defaults to zero.
Z
Specifies the Z-location for the equipment starting point. This value defaults to zero.
Rotation
Specify On-screen
Click the location in the model view to indicate the rotation of the equipment.
Angle
Specifies the degree of rotation about the world Z-axis for the equipment. This value defaults to zero.
Orientation
Specifies the orientation of the equipment. By default, all equipment is vertically oriented.
Platforms and legs can be drawn only when the equipment is vertical. Saddles can be drawn only when the equipment is horizontal. If you draw these components, you cannot change the orientation.
Options
Hollow
Creates hollow equipment components. This option can significantly slow down the performance of the model based on the number of components in each equipment.
Reference Line
Enable
Specifies a reference line that can then be used to specify certain components such as nozzles, saddles, platforms, and so on. The option is saved in the configuration file. However, each reference value is stored with each equipment.
Value
Specifies the location for the reference line. For vertical equipment, the value lies along the Z-axis. For horizontal equipment, the value lies along the X-axis.
PVElite
Import
Imports the current equipment from PVElite. The PVElite information is stored in the drawing.
Export
Exports the current equipment to PVElite. PVElite does not support apex nozzles on a cone component. Instead, the apex nozzle on a cone must be modeled using a cylinder and a body flange.
