Adding a Threaded Pipe Type for AutoListing

From a customer:

Q: When we tag our threaded branchlines for fabrication using pipe type “S” (XL pipe) and then run the AutoList command, the pipe always shows up as type “A” (Schedule 40) in the Hydralist program. Is there another setting that we are missing?

A: Yes, there is another setting. HydraCAD stores a list of pipe types that are threadable. By default, pipe type “A” (Schedule 40) is the only one in the list to begin with. You may add others as necessary. See the example below:

1. Pick Start AutoList or type in SAL

2. Pick the Options button

ALSETUP

This brings up the Listing Options box

3. Pick the pipe type that you want treated as threaded from the list at lower right. In this case I picked S – XL Pipe

4. Pick the Add button. Both A and S will now be in the list. Pick OK to back out and proceed with your AutoList
