Pipe Flow Expert Software User Guide - Using the Default Pipe feature while drawing

In Pipe Flow Expert, you can set the default pipe options for the next pipe to be added to the system by copying the features of the currently selected pipe.

To set the default pipe options: 

1. Select a pipe and click the right mouse button to display the Pipe Pop-up menu.  

2. Click the Use Pipe Values for Drawing option.

Now when the next pipe in the system is drawn it will have the default attributes. You can then change the pipe length as necessary in the Pipe Pane.

To draw a pipe with different attributes, select another pipe that has the attributes that you require and then set that pipe as the default pipe for drawing. 

 Alternatively use the Set Default Pipe for drawing button on the tool bar to open the Pipe Data tab on the Configuration Options screen. Choose the pipe material, diameter, length and other attributes, to define the Default Pipe values that will be used when drawing.
