Automatic layout capability: PIPENET Autolayout capability enables the engineer to produce huge deluge systems with little input, in seconds. Autosave: The engineer can specify the frequency at which the autosave operations should be preformed.ġ4.

Interface with AutoCAD: PIPENET can export DXF file.ġ3. Simple and Complex rules can be defined.ġ2. Interface with the plotter: PIPENET can export the schematic as HP-GL/2 format. Colouration: All the nodes, pipes and nozzles can be coloured according to a certain attribute.ġ1. For example the pipes can be sorted according to the velocity and the nozzles can be sorted according to the deviation.ġ0. Sorting function: Sort the data as you prefer in the data window. The table is clear, easy to read and can be easily modified.ĩ. Data table: PIPENET presents all the data in table format. Global edit function: Using this function, the attributes for all the components can be edited in one step.Ĩ. In addition, Undo/ redo, zoom/pan, schematic overview, combination of subnets, and an easy to use data window also make the component graphical manipulation a simple task.ħ. Mirror, invert and rotate functions are also available to flip or rotate components. Component graphical manipulation: The components can be flipped or rotated by dragging the ends of the components to suit a users preference. Data and tables can be imported to EXCEL, or exported from EXCEL, giving the engineer total flexibility.Ħ. Interface with EXCEL: PIPENET is compatible with the spreadsheet programs, such as EXCEL. Interface with WORD: PIPENET can export the schematic to clipboard, and then paste in other programs such as WORD.ĥ. Area tool and polygon tool: With those two tools, simply choose an area in the schematic using the mouse, then copy, cut, paste, delete, mirror, invert and rotate all the components in this area in one step. Multiple components creation tools: Add multiple pipes tool and add multiple nozzles tool are especially useful in creating multiple pipes and multiple nozzles at the touch of a button.ģ. The hot keys available for copy, cut and paste functions increase speed and efficiency even further.Ģ. With this facility, it is easy to build a large network quickly and easily. Copy and paste between different networks or within the same network. Copy/paste function: Copy, cut, and paste functions are available for whole sub-networks including schematic and data. Please refer to Section 3 for examples.ġ. The creation of the large and complex networks is fast and efficient. PIPENET interface is flexible and easy to use.
