1. Select Edit > Select Command .

2. In the Detail window, select the main pipe and the branch pipe. Make sure that the two pipes meet the following conditions:

   • Both pipes have open ends.

   • The pipes are perpendicular to each other, meaning that one pipe, if projected, intersects the other pipe.

   Hold down CTRL while selecting multiple drawing items.

3. Select Connect Tee Automatically on the Dimension toolbar.

   The software joins the two pipes with the appropriate branch element.

   

• The branch element that the software creates (tee, olet, tap, and so on) is dependent upon the definition in the Branch Select table in the specification. See the Smart Isometrics Material Editor Help.

• The software automatically applies the item code from the specification to which the current project is connected.

• The software extends or shortens the pipes as needed to accommodate the connection.

• If the software is unable to compute the dimensions, you must dimension the pipeline manually.
