Controls the following pipe support functions:
-
Support dimension type: String, Overall, Included dimensions
-
Display of pipe supports on the isometric drawing.
-
Support dimension stand-out position.
The support dimension may be on the same side of the pipe as the normal pipe dimensions
or on the opposite side.
-
Support dimension line stand-out distance.
-
Category of supports to be dimensioned.
Switch Settings
The following settings are available for Option Switch 40:
SWITCH POSITION 1 - Pipe Support Dimension Type and Support Suppression
|
0 |
Draw pipe supports on the isometric drawing and dimension in string form. This is the default setting. |
|
1 |
Draw pipe supports on the isometric drawing and dimension in overall form. |
|
2 |
Suppress pipe supports on the isometric drawing and on the material list. |
|
3 |
Draw pipe supports as undimensioned on the isometric drawing. |
|
6 |
Draw pipe supports on the isometric drawing. Include support dimensions with pipeline dimensions. |
SWITCH POSITION 2 - Support Dimension Position
|
0 |
Draw support dimensions on the same side of the pipe as the normal dimensions. This is the default setting. |
|
1 |
Draw support dimensions on the opposite side of the pipeline to the normal dimensions. This causes any dimension line stand-out distance set in switch positions 3 and 4 to be ignored. |
SWITCH POSITIONS 3 & 4 - Support Dimension Line Stand-Out Distance
|
0 |
Use software default for all support dimensions. |
|
Value |
Use specified value for the dimension line stand-out distance. Type a value in whole millimeters. |
SWITCH POSITION 5 - Selective Support Dimensioning
|
0 |
Dimension all supports. |
|
1 |
Dimension Fabrication type supports only. |
|
2 |
Dimension Erection type supports only. |
|
3 |
Dimension Offshore type supports only. |
|
4 |
Dimension Erection and Offshore type supports only. |
SWITCH POSITION 6 - Associated Additional Materials on Supports Weights
|
0 |
Use weight of associated additional materials on supports in calculations. |
|
1 |
Ignore weight of associated additional materials on supports in calculations. |
SWITCH POSITIONS 7 - Centerline Support Dimensioning
|
0 |
Support dimensions obey normal string/overall rules. |
|
1 |
Support dimensions obey same rules as centerline pipe dimensioning. |
