Create Spool Break

A Spool Break is the change over point between SHOP and FIELD components. It occurs at the junction of two piping components (or implied TUBE) that fulfils one of the following cases:

The Shop Flag status of the two components is different. that means, True-to-False or False-to- True. The Shop Flag status of elements in the DESIGN database can be changed in SPOOLER use Modify > Shop/Field, from the main menu.

If a component is the end of the piping network (for example, connected to an EQUIpment item) it is automatically the end of the Spool/Field and the Spool Drawing.

BOTH piping components have their spool break attributes set to true (CSFBREAK for a piping component and TSFBREAK for the leave tube).

To create a spool break, select Create > Spool Break from the main menu bar. You are prompted to Pick first element to add Spool Break, after selection you are again prompted to Pick second element to add Spool Break.
