Editing Pipe Runs Graphically
After you lay out a pipe run, there are two ways to modify it in plan and
profile views. You can make changes to it on screen, adjusting the entities
that make up the pipe run, or you can make changes to it in tabular editors.
This section describes how you can use the Edit Graphical command to edit
a plan view pipe run in a drawing.
