Using Automatic Tee Insertion

The usage of the Automatic Tee Insertion function is as the title suggest automatic. Every time two branches are connected, that usually involves one branch that is dragged (either an end point of it or the branch as a whole) and one that is stationary. When the dragged branch is released the Tee shape specified in the Diagrams Options is dropped over the stationary branch with the branching connector pointing towards the dragged branch. The dropped Tee splits the stationary branch as if the Tee was dropped by the user and the branching connector of the Tee is connected to the dragged branch. Thus completing the process of connecting two branches with a Tee.

If there are any specification conflicts or dimensioning variations that cannot be chosen by the system, a choose size dialog will be presented to prompt the user and resolve these variations.

Below is shown an automatically inserted tee when one branch is dragged to another one. The result is as if the tee was placed over the static branch and then the dragged branch connected to it.
