Dragging Piping

Model Reference Manual

Piping, Ducting and Cable Trays : Dragging Equipment and Piping Networks : Dragging Piping

DRAG AT BY POSITION MOVE DISTANCE THROUGH FROM TO CLEARANCE INFRONT BEHIND ONTOP UNDER

This command is identical to the DRAG command described in the previous subsection except that, if the current element is a Branch, the bottom/top of piping positioning syntax can be used.


Examples:
DRAG THRO @	The current element and constrained network are moved along the constrained centreline until the origin of the current element lies on a reference plane which passes through the cursor position.
DRAG MOVE S DISTANCE 1000	The current element and constrained network are moved South by the specified distance.
DRAG DISTANCE 1000 ONTO /GRADE	The current element and constrained network are dragged so that the origin of the current element is 1000 above /GRADE.
DRAG BOP ONTO /BEAM2-1 CLEAR 150	The current (Branch) element and constrained network are dragged so that the Tube will be positioned on top of /BEAM2-1 with a clearance of 150.

Note:

As it changes orientation as well as position, CONNECT cannot be used in conjunction with DRAG.
