SPECIFICATION SHEET

Preference Settings
•tAutomatic loading of preferences from the DWG file.t
t (When opening a DWG file, the relevant preference file t
t automatically loads up. It includes the latest modifications).

•tRegisters library to draft grids and plenums.t

Management of drawing
backgrounds

•tAutomatic drawing of register connections onto main sewer t
t pipes.
•tDetailed drawing of flexible conduits with customizable t
t curve radius.t

•tColour of entities.

•tWorking unit.

•tColour of layers.

•tDrafting scale.

•tResetting the Z coordinate.

•tLayer management:
›› By specialty, by geographical location and by single-line or t
double-line drawing mode (very flexible).
›› By type of graphic entity (network, materials...).
›› Several types of layer combinations (time saving).

•tOption to isolate texts, hatches, dimensions...

•tGraphic variables for representation of:
›› The appearance of ducts.
›› Texts, dimensions, arrows, conduits intersections.
•tA range of hatching styles to symbolise coverings t t
t (thermo isolation, flocking).t

Computation variables
•tConversion of rectangular/circular sections, coefficient of t
t roughness of materials.t
•tFlow units, pressure drops units.
•tSets the TP scales and handles switching between model t
t space and paper space automatically. t
t (Can be switched on or off.)

Quick Modification Tools
•tChanging an object (turning an elbow into a slope, changing t
t the ND of an already drawn duct, changing a topside t
t connection into an underside connection...).

•tText fonts handling.
•tOption for renaming layers for intelligent sorting.

•tMoving an object (when drawing a reduction the conduits t
t adjust and adjacent elbows follow automatically...).

•tManagement of the unit system (Metric/Imperial).
•tLine thickness and TP scale management...t

•tDeleting an object (the conduit ‘closes’ automatically on t
t deleting a valve or a connection...).t

Drafting
•tPoint to point air duct routing in single-line or double-line mode.
•tDetailed drawings of all the accessories according to their t
t configuration.
•tAutomatic insertion of components.
•tLibrary of standard components.

Sizing and Altimetry
•tComputation of a duct section according to the airflow t
t (or power and Delta T), in relation with speed constraints t
t or pressure drops limitations.
•tComputation of the coefficient of friction (j) of a duct section.

•tCustomization of air conditioning terminals t
t (fan coil, cassette, air handling unit...).

•tComputation of a network size according to its representation.

•tDrawing of grids and registers.t
•tAutomatic adjustment of grids and diffusers onto t
t suspended ceilings.

Computation

•tComputation of levels while routing on change of duct section.t
