About Setting Up Bend Information for Use in Report Tables
To generate bend tables, set up report information in the assembly in which the pipe segment was created. The information in the table references this predefined information from that assembly.
To avoid generating blank bend information in a table, first use Show Report Setup in the piping assembly Report Pipeline dialog box to define which information should be available in the drawing tables. Because information appears for each assembly level, you must filter the table by level to display information about a subassembly only.
When you use Show Report Setup to create or select a coordinate system, keep in mind the following restrictions:
• The selected coordinate system must be contained in the same assembly within which the pipe segment was created. You may need to copy a coordinate system from a different subassembly in order to reference the correct position. You can copy one from another coordinate system and have the report information reference the copy.
• The z-axis of the coordinate system must lie along the starting line segment of the pipe. The direction of the z-axis must be the same as that of the starting line segment of the pipe.
