Scheme heating Linear AutoCAD scheme generator

Procedure

In the scheme, click the section part you would like to edit.
The Pipe run data dialog opens.
In the Section area, specify the Length of the section part and the number of Additional bends.
Optional: In the Nominal pipe diameter section, set the nominal diameters for the pipes in the section part.
Use the and buttons to switch to the adjacent section parts and set their data.
The currently selected section part is shown dashed in the scheme.
Use the button to switch to vertical tether feed pipes and set their data.
Close the dialog with OK when you have set the data of all section parts of your scheme.

Results

The section part data of the scheme are set.
