Offset Fittings

The following types of offset fitting may be defined:

In addition, all flanges (except LJSE) may be defined with offsets.

When defining an offset fitting, the start point for the defined shape will be the low point of the offset and the end definition point will be the high point of the offset, thus:

The ORIENTATION NONE option (see Defining a New Hanger) should be used when defining offset fittings.

Normally, when the end condition FL is specified, flanges are generated and attached to the start and end points of the symbol automatically. When offset symbols are user defined, however, flanges are not added automatically; they must be built into the symbol or added by using the PSKEY attribute of the relevant p-points (see Component End Conditions Defined By P-Points). This principle applies also to the following non-offset fittings with flanged connections:
