Adding Insulation to Pipe Insulation is only visible when piping is displayed as 2-line. When you activate this feature, insulation is added to all pipe system definitions as you draw pipe. A new pipe or pipe fitting inherits the insulation values from the existing pipe or pipe fitting where it was added. NOTE Insulation is an annotation element that shows where insulation is used on a pipe system. Because it is not an object, you can only modify how and where it displays in the drawing. However, you cannot create schedules for insulation. To add insulation to pipes 1 Start the Add Pipes command on page 291. 2 On the Properties palette on page 286, expand Advanced, and enter an insulation thickness.

You can configure label styles to display pipe diameter or system type properties. To add a label or flow arrow 1 Start the Add Pipes command on page 291. 2 On the Properties palette on page 286, expand Advanced ➤ Label and Flow Arrows. 3 Under Label, specify a style from the list. 4 For Layout Method, specify the label and flow arrow configurations to add to each pipe segment you select: If you chose then By quantity specify the total number of labels or flow arrows to display on each pipe segment. Note that the number of labels or flow arrows is automatically added to each straight segment. By distance specify the distance to insert a label or flow arrow at uniform intervals on each pipe segment. Note that if a pipe segment length is less Adding Pipe | 317
