Dockable Automatic Pipe End Prep Updater:

-Dynamically adds all possible fitting flanges and labels each end.

*Note: currently does not work with connections to families where the connector is located within a sub element.

*Note: as of 04/05/24, the way the direction a bell or flange is facing changed, from checking the handle orientation which might not line up if the connection has deflection ( a slight angle ), to checking if the connection is a primary connector or not. The primary connector should always be the "Bell" end and the secondary connector should always be the "Spigot" end.

Total Pipe Length

Dimension Pipe Line Tool

-Allows for Piping Elements ( Pipes, Pipe Fittings, and Pipe Accessories ) within a "Pipeline" ( as defined above ) to be dimensions together ( without gaskets / flanges / unions ) in one click. Note: Pipe Accessories and Pipe Fittings both require Reference Lines with the subcategory of "Center line" or "zLines" from the center of each Connector to the center of the element to function correctly.

Smart Flip

Issue: Not being able to flip a flange without breaking connections and occasionally moving elements.

Issue with Flipping Flange

Fix: Smart Flip which disconnects the elements, flips the flange, then reconnects the elements in one click

( REPLACED WITH DIMENSION TEXT WINDOW ) Question Mark Dimension Tool:

Issue: To replace a single dimensions text with a question mark takes you double clicking the dimension, clicking the option to replace the text, then typing in your question mark, and pressing "Apply". -> takes about 5 actions, which is fine unless you need to do multiple.

Issue with Question mark Dimension

Fix: takes only one click to replace each dimension with a whatever text you would like.

Dimension Text Window

image

-Functions as the standard Dimension Window except you can apply your changes to multiple Dimensions and DimensionSegments. Due to the inaccessibility of some dimension parameters, the only features not currently functioning is swapping between the "Use Actual Value", the "Replace With Text", and "Show Label in View" as well as the Segment Dimension Leader Visibility Dropdown. To use the "Replace With Text" option, simply click that option and fill in the textfield with the desired text. To revert back to the actual value, simply delete all of the text within the "Replace With Text" textfield.
