Breaking a Pipe Run into Two Pipe Runs
Use the Break command to break a pipe run at a node and make two new
separate pipe runs. The separation point occurs at the node nearest to the point
you select on the pipe run. The pipe run must have at least three nodes for the
Break command to break the run.
To break a pipe run into two pipe runs
1 From the Pipes menu, choose Conceptual Plan ä Break.
2 Select the run by picking a point on the pipe run near the node break point.
3 Enter names for the new pipe runs.
The pipe run data at the node break point is duplicated in both runs. If you
enter a new name for the first new pipe run, you can assign the original pipe
run name (a maximum of 30 characters) to the second pipe run. If you use two
new pipe run names, the original pipe run remains intact and can be used
again.
Joining Two Pipe Runs into One Pipe Run
To join two pipe runs that share a common node
1 From the Pipes menu, choose Conceptual Plan ä Join.
2 Do one of the following:
n
Select the first pipe run with your pointing device.
n
Press ENTER to open the Defined Runs dialog box and select the run, then
click OK.
3 Do one of the following:
n
Select the second pipe run with your pointing device.
n
Press ENTER to open the Defined Runs dialog box and select the run, then
click OK.
The flow direction of the second pipe run changes to match that of the first
pipe run, if different. If the existing run continues past the connection point of
a side run, you cannot join that side run to the existing run.
