Dimensioning without Catalogue or Spec Search

Diagrams : Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) : Online Dimensioning and Specification Search : Dimensioning without Catalogue or Spec Search

If the Spec Search > Use Specification default setting is set to False, the specification will not be used and all dimensioning will be handled through the BOREARRAY attribute on the parts.

When a new branch is created, the boresize will be picked up from the default bore size that is set up in the current pipeline.

When inline parts such as valves, reducers etc. are dropped into a branch, the bore will be picked up from the upstream component.

In case a size-changing or branching component will be dropped, the system will prompt the user for a ‘Leave bore?’ or ‘Branching bore?’. In all other cases the system will automatically pick up the bore size from the element it will be connected to.

The Resize and Refit operations and related propagation settings operates in the same way for dimensioning with or without spec search.
