| Features | Benefit |
|
| Export to Trimble MEP |
Automatically export points to Trimble MEP or use our Custom Points to manually place points throughout the drawing. *Also supports points embedded within blocks. |
|
Intuitive Data Editor
|
- Fitting graphics with dimensions display
- Ribbon controls
- Constraints with error checking
- Customizable layout
|
|
Auto routing
|
Use the router line to create single line route for horizontal, vertical or sloped systems. The AutoRoute program will fill the router line with your current spec and size to generate 3D pipe and fittings. Easily reroute to change pipe to a different spec or copy the route and fill each line with a different spec for rack piping systems.
|
|
Spool Manager
|
Easily define and create spools using specific naming sequencers, templates and BOM settings.
|
|
Bill of Materials
|
The bill of material can be customized prior to placing it in the spool, but can also be exported to CSV.
|
|
| Assistive grip points |
Our fitting grip points offer alternative commands to help you modify, rotate or stretch the fitting. Each was designed to speed up productivity for your CAD operator by eliminating data entry and AutoCAD® commands. |
|
| Intelligent data is stored with each fitting |
Using our PipeDesigner 3D properties palette and tooltips, quickly view the properties of any fitting. |
|
| Supports 64 and 32 bit installations |
Fully supported on 32 bit or 64 bit operating systems. |
|
| Export to AutoBid® Mechanical |
Quickly export the drawing or parts of the drawing to AutoBid® Mechanical for pricing reports. |
|
| Annotations |
- AutoCAD friendly! Our text entities are flexible enough to allow the CAD operator to use standard AutoCAD commands like move, erase or rotate to modify them. The text can be erased without erasing the pipe.
- Annotate sloped pipe by BOP, CL or TOP at any point on the sloped run.
- Label types include elevation, component name, size, system, fitting number, line number and spool number.
