The H-Factor

Reducing Entropy

From a long-time customer and friend:

'I had a question about center to center dimensions on pipe. We do tons of CPVC, and the ½” increments aren’t necessary. Can I force 1” increments on the center to center dimensions?"

This can be done by setting the default drawing pipe dimension rounding to the nearest inch. The pipe must be sized before this process is begun.

Pick 3D Modeling Options (3MO) from the 3D Modeling toolbar:

Round1

Pick the HydraPipe Settings tab and set the Rounding to 1". Pick Apply:

Round2

Raise the drawing to 3D. When it is brought back to 2D, you will see the pipe sizes are now to the nearest inch:

Round3
