If you prefer to run your piping using a centerline rather than the 3D solids, you can do that with the Line to Pipe command.
- [Instructor] An alternate way to run pipe…is to use AutoCAD lines to create our piping…using the Line to Pipe command.…If we have a routed centerline,…we can choose a spec and the AutoCAD line…will be flooded with the 3D piping,…including elbows and tees.…So let's open our drawing 05_09_PIPING.…And I'm going to switch to our parallel view.…I'm just going to navigate around…to the vertical tank that we have…that sits just underneath our structure here.…Now you notice there's a centerline,…I've gone ahead and run a centerline…from that pipe coming out across that rack.…
We're going to use Line to Pipe to create…the piping on that centerline.…So first of all, I want you to just…take a look at the nozzle.…And we're looking at an eight-inch, 300 pound flange.…So I'm going to come up to our parts insertion,…I'm going to choose an eight-inch CS300.…Now, what I'm going to do is pick…all the lines that you see here.…And you'll notice the flange on the vessel…is showing a teardrop, which means that it's disconnected.…So we're going to come up to our parts insertion…
