Chapter 7 Designing Pipe Runs
102
■
You can specify node label station, offset, elevation, and name
labels with the Profile Node Drafting settings. You can choose
which label components to display. You can append prefixes and
suffixes to node station, right or left offset, and pipe, inverts in and
out, sump, and rim elevation labels. You can also specify the
precision for station, offset, and pipe, sump, and rim elevation
values, as well as the text grouping configuration.
■
To properly label pipe runs with the Sheet Manager commands,
you must plot the Finished Draft profile view of the pipes
(although you do not need to include any textual information such
as pipe diameter or invert elevations).
