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).

Management of drawing
backgrounds

•tCross-sectional drawing and computation of the distance t
t between the centres within the set of pipes.

•tColour of entities.

•tDetailed drawing of all the accessories according to their t
t configuration.

•tWorking unit.

•tColour of layers.

•tDrafting scale.

•tResetting the Z coordinate.

•tLayer management:
›› By specialty, by geographical location and by single-line t
t or 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. t
›› Texts, dimensions, arrows, conduits intersections.
•tA range of hatching styles to symbolise coverings t t
t (thermo isolation, flocking).t

Computation variables

•tText fonts handling.

•tInsertion of water fittings in line.
•tInsertion of water fittings onto drafted pipes.
•tLibrary of standard components.

•tOption for renaming layers for intelligent sorting.

•tDrawings of the different types of heaters t t
t
t (panel-type radiators, multiple elements radiators...).

•tManagement of the unit system (Metrique/Imperial).

•tSymbolic or realistic representation of the heaters.

•tLine thickness and TP scale management.

•tInsertion of assigned tags (descriptive tags) to the heaters.t

•t...t

Drafting
•tPoint to point pipe routing in single-line or double-line mode t
t according to the material specifications.
•tStandard specifications for heating and air conditioning.

•tConversion of rectangular/circular sections, coefficient oft
t roughness of materials.

•tFive specifications specially developed for steel, copper and t
t PVC pipework.

•tFlow units, pressure drops units.

•t19 pipework specifications available for filling according to t
t your needs.

•tSets the TP scales and handles switching between model t
t space and paper space automatically. t
t (Can be switched on or off.)

•tAutomatic insertion of the list of conduits constituting a set t
t of pipes.

Quick Modification Tools
•tChanging an object (turning an elbow into a slope, changingt
t the ND of an already drawn duct, changing a topside tt
t connection into an underside connection...).
•tMoving an object (when drawing a reduction the conduits t
t adjust and adjacent elbows follow automatically...).
•tDeleting an object (the conduit ‘closes’ automatically on t
t deleting a valve or a connection...).t

•tPoint to point single-line routing of a set of pipes (up to 6 pipes).
