To Assign Insulation during Pipeline Creation in Spec-Driven Piping
 
* You can only assign insulation to an entire pipeline using this method.
1. Click Create Pipe. The Create Pipeline dialog box opens.
2. Under Pipeline Label, select the applicable pipeline label information.
3. If an insulation code was assigned to the selected specification in the Specification Directory (database) file, the Insulation box displays the code. You can select another insulation code but you must select an insulation code.
If an insulation code was not assigned to the selected specification in the Specification Directory (database) file, click the Insulation check box and select an insulation code from the list.
4. Click OK to save the selections. Spec-Driven Piping saves the insulation data in an insulation feature in the active assembly.
5. Retrieve insulation information ( Piping Info) to view the assigned insulation data.
 
The following Specification Database files must be populated with insulation data in order to assign insulation to spec-driven pipelines:
Insulation Directory file (Project Data file) must contain records for the insulation codes.
Insulation MCAT file (Master Catalog file) that is assigned to an insulation code must contain insulation data.
Optionally, Spec-Driven Piping can create insulation quilts after you create pipe solids.
