Controls the generation of the cut piece list and corresponding cut piece identifiers (numbers or letters) at appropriate positions along the plotted pipeline. An option to have cut piece identifiers (numbers or letters) starting at 1 or A on each isometric drawing as opposed to each pipeline is also controlled with this option switch.
Cut piece numbers can be output on the isometric drawing in a variety of alternative enclosure types which are controlled by switch positions 7 and 8.
There are two types of cut piece lists: the old style, which has limited information, and the new style, which has full information.
Finally, when using imperial units you have an option to list the cut lengths on the new style cut piece list in a decimal inches format. This option is in addition to the regular value in the LENGTH column.
Switch Settings
The following settings are available for Option Switch 2:
SWITCH POSITION 1 - Cut Piece Numbering and Cut Piece List On / Off Control
|
0 |
Suppress the generation of the cut piece list and cut piece identification numbers/letters. This is the default setting. |
|
1 |
Generate the cut piece list and cut piece identifiers. |
|
2 |
Generate cut piece identifiers that start at 1 or A on each isometric drawing. |
SWITCH POSITION 2 - Cut Piece List Style
|
0 |
Use the old style cut piece list and cut piece identifiers. |
|
1 |
Use the new style cut piece list. |
SWITCH POSITION 3 - Alphabetic Cut Piece Identifiers
|
0 |
Generate numeric cut piece identifiers. This is the default setting. |
|
1 |
Generate alphabetic cut piece identifiers. |
SWITCH POSITION 4 - Supplementary Output of Cut Length in Decimal Inches
|
0 |
Output standard cut lengths only. This is the default setting. |
|
1 |
Output supplementary cut lengths in decimal inches format in the REMARKS column of the new style cut piece list. This option only applies when you are using imperial units. |
SWITCH POSITION 5 - Calculation of Branch Cut Length to Center Profile
|
0 |
Calculate to the actual branch connection point. This is the default setting. |

|
2 |
Use the coordinate position. |
SWITCH POSITION 6 - Pipe Bending File
|
0 |
Output pipe fabrication information, including details of each cut piece, listing the length, diameter, end preparation, material part number, and other related details to assist manufacturing. In addition, bending information that provides distances to/between bends, angle and radius details is also output. |
|
1 |
Output pipe fabrication information as described for the 0 setting. Also includes details to enable profiling the shaped ends or pipe and the cutting of holes for tees, olets, crosses, and so on. |
