Draw Drain Pipes

The facilities of the Pipeline Group of the Home Tab are used to draw drain pipes, refer to Draw Drain Pipes.

The default settings for “normal” pipes are also applied to drain pipes, and drain pipe styles are selected and changed in the same way as for normal pipes. Refer to Draw Pipes and Process Links.

Drain pipe continuation symbols may also be added to drawings, to indicate the flow and direction (through, down and in, down and out, up and in, or up and out), refer to Draw Drain Pipes.

The drain pipe continuation symbol is specified using the Pipes - Drain Pipe Sub Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program.
