A gap in a drawing is a condition that exists when two lines intersect graphically in the drawing but not physically in the plant. To portray this condition, you can specify that lines show a gap at these non-physical intersections. This procedure can improve the clarity of your drawing considerably.

You can either turn auto-gapping on, and the software gaps your lines automatically as you route them, or you can choose when the software performs gapping on your drawing by using the Gap Now command. Using the Gap Now command, instead of turning on auto-gapping, can increase the efficiency of your design session.

Symbology and priority for your line gaps is set in Options Manager.

Gapping is carried out according to the visible pipes in the current view: only pipes in the primary view are gapped if the primary view is active, and only pipes in the typical view are gapped if the typical view is active. When both views are active, gapping is disabled.
