Plan Tab (Appurtenance Style Dialog Box)

Use this tab to define the appearance of the appurtenance in a 2D plan view.

Appurtenance

Appurtenances can be represented in plan view by their centerline, or by a block symbol.

Display As Centerline

Displays the appurtenance as the centerline of the block that is defined in the pressure network catalog.

Display As Catalog-Defined Block

Displays the appurtenance using the block defined in the pressure network catalog.

Display As User-Defined Block

Displays the appurtenance using a user-specified block. The following options are available:

• Block Name: Specifies the name of the block to use as the appurtenance symbol. You can select a block from the current drawing, or add a block to the drawing by choosing a drawing file.
• Size Options:
  • Use Drawing Scale: When this option is selected, the values specified in the X Value and Y Value boxes (inches, or millimeters, when the drawing linear unit is set to Feet or Meters, respectively) are multiplied by the drawing scale to determine the size of the appurtenance symbol displayed in the drawing. Use this setting when annotation symbols are used.
  • Use Fixed Scale: When this option is selected, the Fixed Scale group box is enabled. The appurtenance symbol will be scaled by the Fixed Scale X, Y, and Z parameters.
  • Use Size In Absolute Units: When this option is selected, the specified values entered in the X Value and Y Value boxes are absolute values of the drawing linear units (inches, or millimeters, when the drawing linear unit is set to Feet or Meters, respectively).
  • Use Size As Percentage Of Screen: When this option is selected, the values specified in the X Value and Y Value boxes are percentages of the drawing screen size. The size of the appurtenance symbol displayed in the drawing is always the same percentage specified of the drawing screen size.
  • Use Fixed Scale From Part Size: When this option is selected, the Fixed Scale group box is enabled. The appurtenance symbol will be scaled by the Fixed Scale X, Y, and Z parameters based on the object part size.
