An alternative to dimensioning the entire pipe route is to dimension individual sections of pipe. The Dimension Selected command allows the placement of two dimensioning lines with a single click. The Set Length command allows you to specify the length of a single section of pipe or multiple sections of pipe simultaneously by entering a value in a dialog box.

Place Dimensions with the Set Length Command

  1. Right-click the section of pipe to dimension, and then click Set Length.

    The Set Length dialog box displays.

  2. Type a value for the length, and then click OK.

    SHARED Tip To set the length of multiple sections of pipe simultaneously, press CTRL as you select each pipe section. The software applies the value you enter in the Set Length dialog box to each selected pipe.

Place Dimensions with the Dimension Selected Command

  1. Right-click a section of pipe, and then lick Dimension Selected. Alternatively, select the section or pipe, and then click Dimension > Dimension Selected.

    A Dimension box displays next to the selected section of pipe.

  2. Type a value into the box, and then press Enter.

    By default, Shift Mode in the Properties window is set to Clear. To continue dimensioning, you must change the setting. For more information, read Dimension the Pipeline.

  • You can specify units of dimension for length in millimeters (mm), meters (m) or feet/inches (ft/in). You can define these values for the current pipe sketch using the Working Units tab (Options dialog box).

  • Click Show Automatic Dimension Lines SPIso ICON Show Automatic Dimension Lines on the Tools toolbar to toggle on and off the display of dimension lines for the selected pipe or component.
