Tip: Selecting a Reference Pipe Run for Cutting Parallel Pipes
Cuts on the target pipe runs are created using the placement type information associated with the corresponding cut on the reference pipe run.
To create cuts on the target runs at locations identical to locations on the reference run:
Select only those pipe runs that are parallel to the reference run as the target runs.
Select the pipe run with multiple cuts as the reference run. All these cuts on the reference run must be created using the length, ratio, offset from corner, offset from plane, or offset from fitting port icons available in the Cut Pipe dialog box. If the cuts on the reference run are created using any other placement type option, piping creates cuts on the target runs using the default Length placement type option.
