Use this tab to view or edit properties associated with this fitting.
General
Changing the reference surface and alignment in this dialog box changes the reference for the existing pressure network part. To change the reference surface and alignment only for new parts added to this pressure network, you can change the references on the Layout Settings tab of the Pressure Network Properties dialog box.
-
Reference Surface
-
Specifies the reference surface for the fitting. The surface provides elevation data to the pressure network objects.
-
Reference Alignment
-
Specifies the reference alignment for the fitting. The alignment provides station and offset data to the pressure network objects for labeling purposes.
Geometry
-
Insertion Point Easting
-
Specifies the easting of the fitting’s insertion point.
-
Insertion Point Northing
-
Specifies the northing of the fitting's insertion point.
Note: When the Insertion Point Northing or Insertion Point Easting are modified, the fitting remains connected to the pressure pipes, which stretch to accommodate the fitting’s new location.
-
Insertion Point Elevation
-
Specifies the elevation of the fitting’s insertion point.
-
Insertion Point Station
-
Displays the station of the fitting's insertion point.
Note: The Insertion Point Station and Insertion Point Offset values are relative to the Reference Alignment.
-
Insertion Point Offset
-
Displays the offset of the fitting's insertion point.
-
Resultant Horizontal Angle
-
Displays the resultant horizontal angle of the part after any rotation is applied.
Note: A bend, when rotated around the axis of a connected pipe, produces a simultaneous change in direction in both planes. The changed angles are shown as Resultant Horizontal Angle and Resultant Vertical Angle.
-
Resultant Vertical Angle
-
Displays the resultant vertical angle of the part after any rotation is applied.
Part Data
These properties are read-only and show a variety of part characteristics.
Note: If a property listed in the Part Data section has a Value field that is blank, it means that the part does not have a value defined for that property in the part catalog. You can use the Catalog Editor (Autodesk.Aec.Content.CatalogEditor.exe, located in C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2019\C3D) to edit the metadata for the parts and assign values, and then you can recreate the parts in the drawing so they will have these property values and can be labeled with them. Edits that are made to the data in the Catalog Editor are not applied to existing parts in drawings.
