CUTTINGLIST

Function:

Adds a list of cut pipe lengths to the material list.

Description:

The CUTTINGLIST command adds a list of cut pipe lengths to the material list. Each separate pipe length is always identified by:

• Its cut piece number, enclosed in angled brackets; e.g. <1>.

• The pipe bore.

• The cut length in mm (e.g. 2219) or feet and inches (e.g. 7’2.5/8") depending on the type of units selected (refer to UNITS command).

For pulled bends, the length measured around the centre line of the tube will be included on the cutting list. The RADI attribute of the bend must be set.

A length which includes either a loose flange or a field-fit weld will have a fitting allowance incorporated into the plotted length (refer to LOOSEFLANGEALLOWANCE command).

Any special requirements, such as a pulled bend; loose flange; a field-fit weld or cutback allowance, this will be highlighted in the remarks column.

Additionally the user can add the following items to the table

• Item code for that pipe.

• The end preparations for the pipe, according to the following list:

  PE

  • Plain

  BE

  • Bevelled

  TH

  • Threaded

  SC

  • Screwed

  SA

  • Saddled end

    Note: These codes are Atexts which can be changed.

    Note: Where a pipeline is split over more than one drawing, the cut pipe list on each drawing contains only the pipe lengths for that sheet. The default is that the numbering will follow on from the last number on the preceding drawing. The cut piece numbering sequence can be restarted from 1 on each continuation drawing by giving the command CUTTinglist PERDrawing.

Examples:

CUTTinglist ON ITEM OFF

This outputs the cut piece list in the material table and switches the Item Codes OFF.

CUTT PERD ON

This sets the numbering to per drawing.

CUTT OFF

This switches the Cuttinglist off, but does not delete the current settings.

CUTT ON

This switches the cutting list output ON, using the current settings.

Note: The default is Off.

CUTT ON PERD ON ITEM ON ENDP ON

This outputs the cut piece list in the material table with both the Item Code and End Preparation columns displayed, with numbering set to per drawing.
