Pipe Spool Methods (not implemented)

The pipe spool manager has the following pipe spool methods:


Name	Type	Description
.getMtoTables(DB_Element)	ARRAY of	Pass an array of attributes. Results in a table / 2 dimensional array: Rows = all elements in the pipe spool. Columns = Attribute values requested.
.getAssemblyTables()	ARRAY	Results in a table / 2 dimensional array: Table of information to put on the pipe sketch Assembly Activities Table
.getEndpointTable()	ARRAY	Results in a table / 2 dimensional array: Connection number and X, Y and Z positions for the open ends of the pipe spool
.getEndPointTags()	ARRAY	Results in a table / 2 dimensional array: PPoint/Element and text to allow this text to be tagged on the pipe sketch. The tags correspond to the .EndPointTable() for cross-reference
.getPlaneTags()	ARRAY	Results in a table / 2 dimensional array: PPoint/Element and text to allow this text to be tagged on the pipe sketch. The tags correspond to the Planes referenced on the .getAssembly() table for cross-reference
