Add Pipe Segments from any Point

This procedure is used to add new pipe segments from any point on a drawing. This functionality is provided to facilitate the depiction of broken pipelines, for example, when displaying drain pipes in Marine industry P&IDs.

For the procedure for adding new segments to either end of a pipe or signal line, refer to Add Pipe and Signal Line Segments.

Example

Procedure

1. Start the procedure by selecting the Add Segment at Point option in the Modify group of the Home tab.

   If a pipe was not selected before the above option was selected, the user will now be prompted to pick a pipe.

2. The Command prompt will then display:

   Add Segment(s) at Point:

   Select the point on the drawing from which the segment is to be added.

3. The Command prompt will then display:

   Indicate next vertex or start point of successive pipe or port of successive symbol for adding segment:

   Select the end-point of the new segment. This can be the start of another pipe or the port of another inline item symbol.

   If the start of another pipe or the port of another inline item symbol is selected, the new segment is drawn and the command ends.

   If the new segment does not end on another pipe or port, either press Enter to draw the new segment and end the command, or add another segment by indicating the end point of this segment as described above.

   Repeat until all required segments are defined, then press Enter to draw these new segments and end the command.
