The Pipework toolbar gives you quick access to all the tasks associated with the creation and modification of Piping.
Depending on the selections made from the Pipework toolbar, you will be presented with further windows prompting for user input and options allowing for the workflow to continue.

You will not be able to make any selections from the piping toolbar if the correct database hierarchy has not been configured beforehand. For example certain piping elements must reside below other elements in the database hierarchy (an overview of the database hierarchy is described in Hierarchy).
If a particular piping element cannot be created at the current position in the database hierarchy you will receive an error message summarizing the problem, for example in the following window an error explains that the element you are attempting to create must be below an branch element.
