You can set a control point so that a drawing Piping Component File (PCF) includes the location point coordinates (units in millimeters).
-
Start the Piping task.
-
Click Insert > Control Point to display the Control Point Ribbon (Placement).
-
Select the Distribution Connection as the parent for the control point.
-
Select WBS Break Point Type 1 from the Subtype list.
-
Place the control point as a location point for the drawing and PCF. For example, you might want to place it on a weld.
-
Update the drawing for the pipeline.
The updated drawing shows a label for the Location Point that has a label pointing to the Distribution Connection.
The Piping Component File (PCF) includes the line LOCATION-POINT followed by the x, y, and z coordinates (units in millimeters) of the control point.
You can create rules to use the control point subtypes to classify the control point
for use in drawings and reports. For more information, see Control Point Subtype Sheet in the Smart 3D Reference Data Guide available from the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.
