Draw Pipe Spools - *12​.1​.SP3*

Description

It is possible to draw pipe spools in marine drafting, provided that VIEW element is given the correct SPPURP (attribute of the view). It must be set to PSKETCH or PASSMB.

In 12.1.SP3 we have made this easier by automatically setting this attribute to PASSMB when the user adds a pipe spool to the view via the Marine Drafting user interface, for example with drag & drop or via the search utility.

However, you should not mix drawing of pipe spools and drawing of pipes in the same view. If you draw pipes in a view where the SPPURP is PASSMB, there is a side effect: both the pipes and the pipe spools will show up in the drawing. In other words, the pipes will appear with "double" geometry. This can have a strange effect if you try to pick p-points in the drawing or if you are using the Model->Exchange function.

Benefits

It is now easier to draw pipe spools in any drawing.
