Setting Representation for Piping Components

Catalogues and Specifications Reference Manual

Component Design and Representation in PARAGON : Reference Section : Setting Representation for Piping Components


Keywords:	REPRESENTATION TUBE CL CENTRELINE
Description:	The REPRESENTATION command allows piping components to be represented by a single centreline (CL) or by a 2D outline (TUBE). In some cases, it helps to switch between the two representations to simplify an otherwise complicated view. Switching TUBE On switches CL Off automatically, and vice versa. TUBE and CL representations are not instantly updated on the screen. To see the effects of a representation change, it is necessary to replace the affected item in the Draw List by Removing and Adding it.

Examples:


REPR TUBE ON	Sets tubing representation as double line
REPR CL ON	Sets tubing representation as centreline
