Include Piping Files Dialog

File Name

Defines a file to include in the current job. You can type the file name if it is in the same folder as the current piping model file or click Browse to find a file located in any folder.

The software maintains the file location relative to the current job folder. This is important to remember if you archive or move the current job file.

Read Now?

Specifies whether the file is read immediately. Type Y or N.

Y

The software reads the file and embeds the file as part of the current job. You can edit the file as part of the current job.

N

The software reads the file and references it to the current job only for plotting and processing during error checking. The included file may not be edited as part of the current job.

RotY

Specifies the angle about the vertical axis to rotate the model before including it in the current job.

You can also Rotate the model or individual elements from the List or the graphic view.

Inc

Specifies the increment to add to all nodes in the model before including it in the current job.

Add

Adds the file in the File Name field to the list of files to include.

Replace

Replaces the selected file on the list with the file in the File Name field. Use Replace to change Read Now?, RotY, and Inc values for a file already on the list.

Delete

Deletes the selected file from the list.

Browse

Displays a standard Windows Open dialog, where you can select a piping model file to include in the current piping model.

OK

Closes the dialog and process files on the list. When Read Now? is Y, the file is included in the model and removed from the Include Piping Files dialog list. When Read Now? is N, the file remains on the list and awaits plotting and error checking of the current job.

Cancel

Closes the dialog and cancels all additions and changes made to the list.
