Adding Flanges Automatically

Before displaying flanges automatically, you must specify the default flange type in the Type Properties dialog.

The illustration on the left displays a pipe connection without flanges displayed. The illustration on the right displays highlighted flanges between the pipe ends and the elbow.

1. In the Project Browser, open the view where you want to place the flange.
2. In the Project Browser, expand FamiliesPipesPipe Types.
3. Right-click pipe type, and click Properties.
4. In the Type Properties dialog, under Type Parameters, under Mechanical, specify the default flange fitting type used with the selected pipe type.
   Note: The default Flange type is None. If set to None, no flanges display for that pipe type.
5. Click OK.
6. Draw one or more pipes and add fittings.

   Flanges are automatically added between pipe ends and fittings.
