CADWorx P&ID tab: Valves > Reducing

Valves toolbar: Reducer

P&ID menu: Valves > Reducing

Command line: ICONREDUCER

Places a reducer symbol. This command displays the Reducers dialog box. When you insert a reducer on a line size different from the size settings in the CADWorx P&ID Setup, the software places the reducer based on the size of the line. For example, you have a 10" line, and your size settings in the CADWorx P&ID Setup are set to 4" for the Main and 2" for the Reduction. When you insert a reducer on the 10" line, the software inserts a 10"x2" reducer. However, if you had a 1" line and placed the same reducer, the software inserts a 1"x2" line. The line always acts as the main size for the reducer. If you insert the reducer into the model space without a line, the software inserts a 4"x2" reducer.

Yes

Changes the size of the highlighted line and any inline component along that line.

OppositeSide

Switches the highlight of the line to the other side of the reducer.

NoChange

Makes no changes to the line. If you delete a reducer and select NoChange, the software does not change the size of the line or mend the line when it deletes the reducer.
