It shows the ease of use and power of combining CADWond/PIPE and AutoCAD to form a pipework design engineering solution. It begins with basic commands and develops through the addition of more advanced features to the production of engineering drawings and their associated documentation. Pre-requisites All course delegates should have a general understanding of process piping systems terminology and the design of such systems. It is also assumed that they have knowledge of, and put into practice, good engineering drawing principles. Further, the CADWorx/PIPE course is based upon delegates having the ability to draw using introductory level AutoCAD skills. These are the minimum requirements for delegates wishing to attend the course; without these skills, the course may be undermined for the individual and other delegates. Main Aims Initially, delegates are shown how to set up drawings and store or recall standard settings or make user specific configurations. Upon completion of the course all delegates should be able to produce 3D piping models and 2D layout drawings and sections based upon the model. Delegates should have knowledge of how to generate automatic isometrics for both fabrication and stress analysis reporting. Delegates should understand how to use the specifications supplied with CADWorx/PIPE and how to create and amend them as necessary. Delegates should be able to create their own steelwork structures, walkways etc. using the included Steelwork Module. They will be given an appreciation of the equipment modeling modules and shown how these can be enhanced using solid modeling commands within native AutoCAD. They will be shown how to produce Bills of Material (BOM's), both within the drawing and exported to external files. Additionally, delegates should be able to create a pipework database and populate it with data from drawings produced either automatically into a new database, or by amending the data in an existing database.

The aim of this section is to teach proficient CAD users how they can easily create models utilising a 2D approach. In this section the user will gain an awareness of producing a piping model in 2D Double Line and Single Line modes. Also, the user will learn to use the commands for Elevation and Automated sections. The section will be progressed through continuation of the model already started and all delegates will work through a practical tutorial together. It will be completed with a simple exercise for delegates to practice alone.

This section will cover the use of CADWorx/PIPE Point and Shoot UCS and also the use of AutoCAD view points commands, which, when used correctly, can aid enormously in the production of your pipework models. Point and Shoot UCS ‘One of the reasons AutoCAD is such a powerful program is that it allows the user to. manipulate the X, Y, Z, coordinate system, UCS (user coordinate system). This is the heart of CADWor/PIPE's system for drawing in 3D. To utilise this program to its’ full potential, the user needs to be familiar and comfortable with the Point and Shoot system of manipulating the UCS. After a short period of time, it will become quite simple, UCSICON options needs to be On (visible) and set to Origin. This allows the user to see exactly where the icon is at all times. Although it isn't necessary, it is highly recommended that it is positioned somewhere on the centerline of the components that are being drawn. This will keep everything in the same plane. If the user has to turn into another plane, use UCS NEXT or choose the appropriate plane (North, South, East, West, or Flat) and place the icon on the centreline of the new plane. If the user cannot see the rubber band effect, or if it doesn't appear correct, they are ‘out of plane’. Users should always pay attention to the icon as it shows where they are. If the broken pencil icon appears, and there are strange lines on the screen instead of pipe and components, the user’s current plane is perpendicular to the viewpoint. Try an Undo or change the viewpoint. When dimensioning or annotating an isometric or 3D model, the user should place the UCS icon on a node or a centerline on the run they are working on. Text will have the same orientation as the icon. CADWorx/PIPE settings for five standard planes are provided: - gItteugee Fa] VIEWFLAT The view flat function can be loaded by selecting Flat from the UCS Toolbar, or by selecting Menu from Pipe Menu > UGS > FLAT or by typing “VIEWFLAT™ (alias VF) at the command prompt.

Gute eel@® (Ucs objec UGS Object This command provides the Object option of the UCS command. Please refer to the AutoCAD documentation on the UCS (User Coordinate System) for more detail. The command allows the user to select an object in the drawing to orient the UCS. Training tip 8. This command is very useful for rearranging dimensions in model space (MSPACE) of a CADWorX/PIPE isometric. Run this command and then select the dimension. It places the UCS according to the position of the dimension allowing it to be stretched and moved. [Compass| Compass This command provides a compass type preview of the desired Point and Shoot orientation. This is not really a true compass but does provide the user with a choice of planes to choose from. A view such as Viewnorth or Viewsouth will be oriented in the East - West direction. This indicates a view north elevation (or plane) as looking in a north direction. ‘The compass command provides less experienced users with an easy to follow set of rules to help set the UCS to the correct view for a given task.

This allows proper placement of text and other objects. It also provides the user with a positive X direction as normal instead of it being backwards. As the display's orientation is changed, the compass changes accordingly. Viewpoint Commands ‘Once you start modelling, it is necessary to view the three-dimensional (3D) pipework model from different directions and /or angles. The direction from which a 3D model is viewed is referred to as the viewpoint. AutoCAD's five methods for viewing a 3D model are described below. For detailed instructions on using each of these methods, refer to the related topics in AutoCAD Heb: Wen oar RRO EES PAADIAA\ OO 0 Ole Predefined Views To access predefined views; from the View menu choose Named Views. The View dialogue box contains the following tabs: Named Views tab. Lists the current view as well as any views that the user has created; location, UCS, and perspective information about each of the named views is also displayed on this tab. Orthographic and Isometric Views tab. contains the predefined view choices with a slide image showing the viewing direction. For additional information, refer to the software user's guide. DDVPOINT command Type DDVPOINT on the command line. The Viewpoint Presets dialogue box is displayed. This dialogue box has preset angles, measured from the X axis and from the XY plane, that you can select. Many standard-viewing angles can be chosen and mixed using this feature. You can also manually enter the degree of the viewing angle. For additional information, refer to Help and search on DDVPOINT. Copyright © 2001; 2002 Fern Computer Consultancy Ltd Page 41 of 179 July 2002 Revision 2| a CADWorx/PIPE Oe Training Course Se eee ee er VPOINT command This command has two options: Rotate and Display compass and tripod. Rotate. Prompts for the degree of the angle from the X-axis and from the XY plane. Display compass and tripod. You can use this option in two ways. If you press ENTER or SPACEBAR to continue the command, the compass and tripod selection method is used. If you right-click to continue the command, a User Interface on the graphics screen is used to select the X-axis and XY plane degrees, For additional information, refer to online Help and search on VPOINT. DVIEW command The DVIEW command allows the most control for creating custom views. You can control viewpoint settings many different ways with this feature, enabling you to create custom view adjustments often needed for rendered images. You can create either a paralle! projection or a perspective view and zoom, pan, and twist views. You can also use DVIEW to remove objects from in front of and behind a clipping plane and to remove hidden lines during a dynamic viewing operation. With DVIEW you can limit the number of objects displayed while creating a view magnification and orientation. For additional information, refer to Help and search on DVIEW. 3DORBIT command Use the 3DORBIT command to create custom views. Similar to DVIEW, 3DORBIT activates a 3D orbit in the current viewport in the form of an arcball, which is a circle divided into four quadrants by smaller circles. When 3DORBIT is active, the target of the view remains stationary and the camera location, or point of view, moves around the target. For additional information, refer to Help and search on 3DORBIT. BI PPPAAB\CCOO|# [Named Views Tip ~: After you set viewpoint, save it to a named view by using the VIEW command so it can be restored later. You will save time and increase drawing productivity.

The aim of this section is to teach proficient CAD users how they can easily produce 3D models using both existing skills, and new techniques. The section will also show how to convert from 2D to 3D, and how to use the routing and auto connect commands. As in the previous example, the section will be progressed through continuation of the model already started and all delegates will work through a practical tutorial together. It will be completed with a simple exercise for delegates to practice alone. Preparing the 3D Model Open CADWorxPIPE6.dwg and use the AutoCAD menu command File > SaveAs and save the file as CADWorxPIPE7.dwg. Set specification to 150_MM.
