Hot Fix and Service Pack Updates

  • You can now connect two non-collinear pipe runs using Move. For more information, see Connecting pipe runs using Move. (P2 CP:337912)

  • You can now suppress the connection to a reference 3D port using the S hotkey, or by dismissing the Reference 3D Nozzle Properties dialog box. For more information, see Route Pipe. (P2 CP:240820)

  • Added information about free leg behavior. For more information, see Pipe Leg in Moving Pipe Objects. (P2 CP:319923)

  • Added new information on routing purchase length pipes. For more information, see Route Pipe and Insert Component. (P2 CP:310831)

Version 2016 (11.0)

  • The software now replaces missing catalog parts with Generic Piping Components during MDR operation. For more information, see Generic Piping Component. (P1 CP:276211)

  • You can now move or delete route objects at boundary connections maintaining the piping design intent. For more information, see Appendix: Deleting at Boundary Connections and Appendix: Moving at Boundary Connections. (P2 CP:249685, P2 CP:267185, P2 CP:268379, P2 CP:264940, P2 CP:248568; P2 CP:300832)

  • You can slide a branch leg along a header pipe run without disconnecting. For more information, see Move a branch. (P2 CP:293434)

  • You can now select a straight feature on a pipe leg, and move the straight feature to connect to an adjacent pipe leg. For more information, see Move a set of pipe features. (P2 CP:300832)

  • Added a new Disconnect command that allows you to disconnect route objects without disturbing the rest of the network. For more information, see Disconnect. (P2 CP:293435)

  • You can select a section of piping network using the new route selection commands. For more information, see Route Selection Commands. (P1 CP:248690, P2 CP:293434, P1 CP:297357)

  • The software treats field welds as breaks. In the Spool Generation dialog box, if you set Spool Break By Control Point to Break Only at Control Points, the spool also breaks at field welds. For more information, see Options Tab (Spool Generation Dialog Box).
