Create by Cursor

On the XFT09 form:

1. Select the Create by Cursor icon .

   You are presented with the cursor and prompted from the status form to identify steelwork, boxes or panels.

2. Select the horizontal steelwork member parallel to the pipes on the left.

3. Select the horizontal steelwork member to the right of the pipes.

   The application now creates the support using dimensions gained from the positions of the identified steelwork. The view appears as shown below. When complete, the application fills in all the dimensions with their correct values. These are stored against the support when it has finished, enabling future modifications of the support.

   

   Now add a cross member to support the HVAC and cable rack.

4. Select the Add Cross Bar icon . You are presented with the cursor and asked to identify the support attachment(s) to support with a cross bar.

5. Identify the HVAC and cable rack ‘lollipop’.

6. Click the Cancel button on the status form.

   The application creates the crossbar and positions it at the correct elevation.

7. Identify both attachments to which the cross will be attached.

   This information is used later in the support Integrity Checker to check the packing distance between the cross bar and the support attachment. The support Integrity Checker is executed whenever you press the OK button. The view is then as shown below.

   Note: The elements to which the cross-beam is attached must be parallel to the pipe run.
