Draw a Pipe from a Selected Nozzle

This procedure is used to draw a pipe directly from a selected nozzle.

The selected nozzle must contain a valid single port that is available for connection. The pipeline will start at the available nozzle connection port.

Note: The Draw a Pipe option will only be available if the selected nozzle does not already have pipelines connected to it and the nozzle contains a valid single port connected to it. If this condition is not met, the Draw a Pipe option is disabled.

The pipe is drawn in the current style and with the current tracing and end styles.

Procedure

1. Start the procedure by selecting the nozzle, right-click and select the Draw a Pipe option from the shortcut menu.
