CADPIPE Gen2 v3.0
Released November 22nd 2013
Compatible with AutoCAD 2010 - 2013 & 2014 32/64 bit
Enhancements
Dynamic Auto-Routing:
Introducing a new Auto-Routing command providing the ability to route piping accurately and quickly with the ease of free-form layout.
During routing, the on-screen compass will lock into the angle(s) that are available for the bends or fittings chosen from the current pipe class.
An on-screen tooltip gives current and precise information to keep your route accurate.
Dynamic Move:
Dynamic Movement makes it easy to move any line, or portion of a line, to exact locations, calculating clearances, and repairing any adjacent piping to accommodate the modifications. The on-screen tooltip displays the distance moved and proximity to other pipes.
Sleeves:
This new command has many options. The sleeve tag shows the ID#, pipe size, system number/abbreviation, sleeve size, length and the center location of the sleeve by X/Y coordinates.
- Sleeve Type
- Placement – Top, Center or Bottom
- Material
- System
- Sleeve Size – This is automatically set by the pipe size but can be changed
- Pipe Size
- Length – Can be changed
- Renumber
- Update – If a sleeve is moved the location can be updated
- Report – Sleeves can be reported by column lines using the grid or by the X/Y coordinates
Grid
A grid has been added for the location of the sleeves. The grid lines can be moved on top of the column lines and renamed so the sleeve report locates the sleeves within the column lines. Multiple grids can be placed in a drawing and rotated to match the column lines.
Valve Tags
This new command lists each valve with the system abbreviation, valve size and tag number along with the option to add a prefix and suffix. The valve tags can be renumbered and the valve report includes the tag numbers, including the prefix and suffix.
Victaulic Couplings
Victaulic couplings are now graphically enhanced to be more realistic, and you can rotate the connections as required.
Control Center
The Control Center has added the ability to have a different spec for each project and to view project sub-folders. When checking project sub-folders, all folders below the project folder are listed along with the drawings.
