Properties

Activates the properties dialog of the selected feature.

Move From

Specifies the start point for move. If you do not specify a starting point, the software assumes the current location of the feature as the starting point.

 Move To

Specifies the end point for move.

Plane

Displays all available working plane options.

Plan Plane

Defines the work surface as the XY plane at the depth of the active end. You also can press CTRL+1 to select this option.

Elevation Plane: East-West

Defines the work surface as the XZ plane. You also can press CTRL+2 to select this option.

Elevation Plane: North-South

Defines the work surface as the YZ plane. You also can press CTRL+3 to select this option.

Plane by Turn/Branch

Defines the work surface as the plane defined by an existing turn or branch. You select the turn or branch to set the plane. You also can press CTRL+4 to select this option.

Plane by Three Points

Defines the work surface using three points that you define. You also can press CTRL+5 to select this option.

No Plane

Clears any work surfaces. The software does not project points that you place to any plane. You also can press CTRL+6 to select this option.

Run

Displays the name of the associated pipe run. You can select a different pipe run from the list if necessary.

<New Pipe Run>

Displays the New Pipe Run Dialog. Use this option to create a new pipe run.

<Select Graphically>

Allows you to select an existing run in a graphic view, the Workspace Explorer, or the P&ID View.

<Load More Runs>

Loads all the runs that belong to the parent pipeline system. This option is not available after you load all the runs, or if the parent pipeline system has less than 200 runs.

More

Displays the Select Pipe Run Dialog. Select More to select a pipe run that is associated with a different pipeline.

Type

Displays the associated source short code. You can select a different component type with the following options:

Corresponding component short codes. You need to bulk load missing data, if the corresponding short codes are not listed.

<Specify Component Tag>

Displays the Specify Component Tag Dialog to select a component tag from the catalog or the Design Basis.

Browse custom instruments

Displays the Browse custom instruments Dialog to select a different component from the catalog.

Browse piping custom specialties

Displays the Browse piping custom specialties Dialog to select a different component from the catalog.

Option

This option is read-only for generic piping component.

Displays the options available for the selected object. For example, if two different wall thickness values are available in the piping specification for the short code selected in the Type box, both options appear in this list. Selecting a value from the Option list updates the object accordingly.

 Flip

This option is read-only for generic piping component.

Orients the turn so that the other turn port is connected to the end of the run. This option is available only when a turn is connected to the end of a run and no other part has been connected to the other turn port.

SP3D_BTN_Rotate Rotate

This option is read-only for generic piping component.

Select to rotate the component about the pipe interactively. This option is available only for pipe parts.

Angle

This option is read-only for generic piping component.

Type an angle at which you want the component rotated about the pipe. This option is available only for pipe parts.

 Lock Angle

This option is read-only for generic piping component.

Locks or unlocks the Angle 2 and Angle 3 boxes. Locking the corresponding angle value creates a constraint along which the selected turn angle can be moved. This option is only available for turn features.

Angle 2

This option is read-only for generic piping component.

Specifies the angle of the turn feature located at the end of one associated leg. If this box is blank, there is no turn feature located at the end of the leg. When you select this box, the software highlights the Angle 2 turn feature in the model. Although this value can be changed, the location of the corresponding turn cannot. Modification of this value repositions the selected turn until the specified angle is achieved. This option is only available for turn features.

Angle 1

This option is read-only for generic piping component.

Specifies the angle of the turn that you are editing. Modification of this value repositions the selected turn until the specified angle is achieved. This option is only available for turn features.

Angle 3

This option is read-only for generic piping component.

Specifies the angle of the turn feature located at the end of one associated leg. If this box is blank, there is no turn feature located at the end of the leg. When you select this box, the software highlights the Angle 2 turn feature in the model. Although this value can be changed, the location of the corresponding turn cannot. Modification of this value repositions the selected turn until the specified angle is achieved. This option is only available for turn features.

Locations of angles 1, 2, and 3

Offset

This option is read-only for generic piping component.

Controls the SmartSketch offset constraint. Type the distance that you want to offset the pipe that you are routing. Select <Disabled> if you do not want to use the offset constraint to help route the pipe. Select Set Offset Reference to define the reference point. This option is available only for turn features.

Modify Slope Modify Slope

This option is read-only for generic piping component.

Activates the Modify Slope Dialog, with which you can modify the slope of the legs on either side of the selected turn. This command is available only for sloped pipes.
