Choosing Item Labelling
In Pipe Flow Expert, you can configure the labelling of a pipe system displayed in the Drawing pane. The labelling for the pipe system is configured on the Labelling tab of the Configuration Options dialog. The tab is organized by the system components. A series of check boxes are used to configure labelling in drawing/design mode and a series of radio buttons are used to select labelling options when in results mode. The result options determine which calculated results are displayed for a solved pipe system in the Drawing pane. Results are displayed for a calculated solved pipe system after clicking the Calculate button on the toolbar.
