Controls the plotted size of tapped branches. A tapped branch is a collection of components attached to a connection tapping point.
This switch contains two sections:
-
Tapped branches on actual fitting components, such as valves, flanges, and so on
-
Tapped branches on pipe-type components, such as elbows, tees, pipe, and so on
The components in a tapped branch can be scaled up or down from the size used for the main pipeline.
Switch Settings
The following settings are available for Option Switch 120:
SWITCH POSITION 1, 2 & 3 - Tapped Branches on Fitting Components
0 |
Disable tapped branch scaling, that is, tapped branches are shown at the same size as the main pipeline (100%). This is the default setting. |
Value |
Set an alternative tapped branch scaling factor, where Value represents a user-defined scaling factor. For example, enter 110 to increase scaling, or 90 to decrease scaling. 50% is the minimum recommended value. |
SWITCH POSITION 4 & 5 - Tapped Branches on Pipe Type Components
0 |
Use tapped branch scaling at 65% of the main pipeline size. This is the default setting. |
Value |
Set an alternative tapped branch scaling factor, where Value represents a user-defined scaling factor. For example, enter 80 to increase scaling, or 45 to decrease scaling. |
