NG G Pipingg Lesson n 1 Video 1 1 Let's get started. Cliick New (to start a new drawing) 1. d andd we’ll use a template.. 2 Select th 2. he Metric tem mplate. In CADWorx, you always start a new drawing with a templlate. If you don't, you'll have issues later, because there t are som me viewing variables v andd other settinngs that the template takes advan ntage of. So one rule to remember r iss always usee a templaate when sta arting a new w drawing. 3 Click thee Setup buttton. Review 3. w the settings. For our current c drawing, we'll be set to 3D solids. Leave thee small bore fittings set to t threaded d. 4 For conffiguration, select 4. s metricc config. If you doon't have it set, click Loaad, click Meetric, and cllick Open.

5 Click Sp 5. pecification//Size, and cliick Browse.

6 Scroll accross and seelect the Sam 6. mple Metricc Inch projeect. Using these setttings will giv ve us pipe boore diameterrs inches, annd the componeent lengths will w be in milllimeters. Soome projectss are done inn these uniits, and using g this for ourr work will give g us a setup that can be b used worrldwide for training. t

7 Once thee project is seelected, the specs 7. s will bee listed. Select the 150 spec, and d set the ma ain size to 8”” and the reeduced to 6””.

8 The layering will be left to the default 8. d layering. This can c be changed but the defaault layering works fine. Most of thee Piping Rules wiill be set to Automatic. A Set the Pip pe Length Rule R to No and the Weld W Insertiion Rule sett to No. Sett the Pipe En nd Prep Ru ule to No. Leave L the Ceenter Line set s to On. Click C Apply and Close.

1 Click on 17. n the pipe seegment just drawn. Notice that therre are two grips. Thhere's what's called a plu us grip on the end or out beyond the end, and then there's a grip actuaally on the ennd of the pippe.

1 Click on 18. n the grip th hat's on the end e of the pipe p itself. Then T click right on the end of the t flange on the line abbove it. The system extends the t pipe to liine up with the t end of the flange. Soo this is an easy wayy to get two objects o to linne up.

1 Click weeld neck flan 19. nge. Click on o the end of o the pipe drawn d last. Drag dow wn the pipee and click. The flange will w actuallyy cut the pipee back (shoorten it).

2 Zoom in 20. n on the pipee in the upp per right areea of your drrawing. Click onn it to activatte the grips.. Click on the t plus grip p in the pipee’s midpointt area. The system s will place p a Tee. You can move m the mouse annd the locatio on of the Teee will changge, getting measured m from m the end of o the pipe. 2 Right cliick, and click Componeent Distancee. Click on the Tee to 21. the left. The system will show itt’s measuringg off the cennter of the left Tee. 2 Type: 2000 22. 2 . Drag strraight down and click forr the orientatioon. The systtem continuees routing a pipe from thhe Tee.

2 Type: 1517 23. > for the lenngth of the piipe segment. Drag the mouse too the right and a click, th hen press En nter to exit.




2 When wee put the flan 24. nge in the uppper right paart of our linee, the system m automatically placed d a gasket, boolts, and a mating m flangee. This is because the t Piping Rules R were set s for this.

2 Window 25. w the gasket,, bolts, and end flange. This activaates their grips. Prress the Delete key to erase them.

2 Next, lin 26. ne up the pip pe in the low wer right partt of the draw wing with thee one abovve. Click on n it to activatte the grips. Click the grip g behind the plus grip and theen click on the t end of th he pipe abovve it. This p segmentts. will line up the two pipe

2 Click Flaange (Flange Race Facee Weld Neckk), click on the 27. t end and drag thee mouse back down the pipe. The system s will cut c the pipe back (shoorten it) and both segments will line up. So, greeat. Get yourr model to here, and th hen we'll conntinue on after that.

1 Let's talkk about a cou 1. uple of thinggs that are reaally importaant here and will savee you a lot off trouble lateer as you go through CADWorx.

2 If you reccall, we initiially put a flaange in the drawing. 2. d W had a flangge We and whenn we placed the pipe up against the flange, f we cllicked PIPE and presssed Enter. This T let it connnect automatically.

3 When yoou place com 3. mponents in CADWorx, C o option iss clicking a one componeent from the Spec view toool palette, like l PIPE, annd then zooming in and using g Osnap to connect c to a previous p com mponent.

4 That willl work, but itt's problemaatic. Some components are 4. a really narrow, like l the gask kets. This makes it easy to Osnap onn the wrong side of gaasket, which h can cause connectivity c problems (if the End Type rulee is not set). So when yoou have a coomponent plaaced and youu want to continue c righ ht on with annother component, the beest method is i to click your y new com mponent andd press Enterr on the keybboard. The system will w automatiically connecct the two coomponents, and a you willl have perffect connectivity betweeen these com mponents.

5 Later, as you model in 5. i CADWorrx, if you havve small spaaces or overlaps between com mponents, IS SOGEN willl generate errrors as it triees to producce the isomeetric drawingg. So just bee aware of thhat. 6 Another thing to talk 6. k about is flanges. If we click a flangge and we goo from left to right, thee system placces it. Whenn you click a flange agaiin and repeaat the steps (left ( to right)) it will alterrnate. The fiirst time it’s face firstt, then the bu uttweld side is placed seccond. The next n time youu click flannge it will do o the oppositte (buttweld first, face seecond).

7 When yoou click FLA 7. ANGE alwayys notice the prompt. It will w say pickk a start pooint and it haas somethingg following in i brackets. If you want to start with w the choicce in the braackets you haave to right click c for thatt option. 5

8 If we plaace a flange against 8. a anothher flange (fface-to-face)) the system will placee the first on ne, then a gasket and bollts, then a maating flange..

9 This is beecause our piping 9. p rules are a set. These are foundd under Setupp. The gaskket rule, bolt rule, and flaange insertioon rule controls this. Thiis is one off the great neew features inn CADWorxx now.

1 Click Gaate Valve. Click 10. C in an open o area and a place it (drag to the right andd click). We want to veriify the hand wheel (valvve operator) is i coming in as the valv ve gets placeed.

1 In my exxample, the valve 11. v operatoor is not beinng drawn. We'll W modifyy the specification to fix fi that, so thhat we get haand wheels too come in automatically when we w insert gatte valves.

1 Click thee Spec Edito 12. or button. This opens up the specifications forr editing. Depending on o the system m at your offfice, you maay or may noot have acceess to these. They may have h the speccs in a read only o folder. But we'ree going to bee working with w the sampple spec in thhis course, soo most likeely this will be b available on your C: drive.

1 Click thee main buttton (upper leeft), and click 13. k Open. Finnd the Sample__Metric_Incch project annd click Open (it’s in thhe Spec foldeer under Plaant). That will w open the project up inn the Spec Editor. E The specs in the t project will w be listedd. Click Yess, update from m the cataloog (if prompted).




1 The speccs will be listted. Doublee click the 1550_M spec and 14. a it will open for editing.

1 Scroll doown to Valvees. Click thee plus sign next 15. n to that.

1 The systeem will list the 16. t different types of vallves in the sppec. Click on o the gate valve v 150 flaanged. The information for this valvve will open in the low wer window.

1 One of thhe fields is a setting for topworks 17. t (vaalve hand whheels). Thee words toppworks, valv ve operators, and hand wheels w can be used interchanngeably for hand h operateed gate valvees.

1 Click thee down arro 18. ow next to toopworks. Click C the filee named Wheel_G Gate_150_F F_M. That's the file conttaining meassurements foor the hand wheel. If yo our system already a puts in hand wheeels for thesee gate valvves you won’’t have to set this. For my m system, I’ll use this and click k Apply.

1 Then clicck save and then we cann exit this. I''ll go ahead and 19. a close thiis out.




2 The specc has been modified 20. m andd saved. It must m be reloaaded to use the changges in our drrawing. Clicck the Setup p button agaain. Click Specificaation/Size, th hen Browsee, and select the Sample__Metric_Incch project. Click Open n and then cliick Apply & Close.

2 Click GATE 21. G VALV VE and placce it in the drawing d to teest the changes. It will prom mpt for a hannd wheel. You Y can drag the mouse h wheel direction. d I this exampple, right cliick and clicck In for the hand Up. Thee system willl place the haand wheel sttraight up.

2 Erase th 22. he valves you u just placedd. These werre done as teests to see how the system s woulld model theem.

2 Click Gate 23. G Valve. Osnap on th he end of th he pipe (top right area off the drawiing) againstt the tee. Thhe system letts us drag thhe valve out down thee line if we wish. w In thiss example cliick (using Osnap) O at the same poiint on the ed dge of the tee and the vaalve will be placed p there. The systeem will ask about a the vaalve operatorr. Right clicck and click k Up.

2 As the syystem modelled the valvee, it also placced the gaskeet, bolts, andd 24. flanges on o each side. Place the other o three vaalves. You can see thiss just goes in n very quicklly. In earlierr versions, we w would havve to pllace the flangge, place thee gate valve, place the seecond flangee, and put thee boltss in later. Thhe new system m automatess a lot of stepps for us thaat we had to do manually m in the t past. Whyy don't get yoour drawing to here and then we'll coontinue.



1 In this viideo, we're going 1. g to placce some nozzzles on the ennd of the lines we just j completted. We’ll also a have sm maller sizes onn two of the nozzles we’ll w be placcing.

2 Zoom into the area near 2. n the loweer left part of the line. Erase E the flange onn the end of the t line.

3 Set the siize set to 8” for the main 3. n size and 6”” for the red duced size.

4 Click Reeducer, Con 4. ncentric. Click on the en nd of the pip pe. The reducer gets g placed and a oriented correctly. Also A the main and reduceed sizes chaange. The main m size is now set to 6”” and the reduuced size is now set to t 8”. The sy ystem autom matically revverses the maain and the reduced size s becausee it thinks yoou plan to continue with the smaller size.

5 Click a weld 5. w neck fllange. Press on o the keybooard. The flange wiill connect automatically a y. Since the flange was placed manuallyy, the system m will also pllace a gaskett, bolts, and connecting flange.

6 Delete th 6. he gasket, bolts, and connecting flaange. We’ll just have a single flaange on the end e of the piipe, out here like that.

7 Let's takee a look at an 7. nother way we w can do thhis. Zoom in nto the upper left area of th he drawing.



8 Click thee Change Siize button. 8.

9 The systeem gives opttions for Maanual or Autoomatic. Rigght click and 9. d click Automatic.

1 Then it echoes 10. e back select s compoonents. Win ndow the flaange and press . Thee system willl show a list of sizes to choose c from.. Click on n 6”.

1 Next it prompts 11. p for a reducer to use. Select the concenttric reducerr. Next the system prom mpts to selecct a componeent to keep its position or o f Presss to finish. Enter to finish.

1 Next we’’ll place nozzles on the ends 12. e of the liine. 1 Scroll doown in the sp 13. pecview tooll palette and select a longg weld neck k flange. 1 Right cliick and select Length. Type 200 14. <




1 Osnap on the end off the flange. The system 15. m will place the long weeld neck, as well w as a gassket and boltts. 1 Double click 16. c the flan nge to open the dialog box b and lookk at its propertiees. 1 Click thee check box 17. x to set it as Existing. E 1 Click OK 18. K. The flang ge color willl change, shoowing its “exxisting” componeent (like a no ozzle on a veessel). Laterr, when we ruun the ISOGEN N isometric, the t flange will w appear onn the isometrric, but it won't be included in the materiall list. 1 Place thee other flange using thee same stepss. 19.

2 Zoom in 20. n to the flang ge on the up pper right area a of the liine.

2 Now we'll utilize ano 21. other commaand that's in the newer veersions of CADWorx. 2 Click thee Change Sp 22. pec button. 2 Right cliick and select Manual. 23.

2 Window 24. w the flange and press . <

2 The systeem displays a selection of 25. o different specs s you caan choose from. Cllick on the 300_M 3 specc. 2 Press to fin nish. 2 Repeat the 27. t process and changee spec on thee last flangee (in the loweer right areaa of your draawing).




2 So now these 28. t two flaanges are set to 300 lb. raatings. Nextt we'll modeel the nozzlles these flan nges are connnected to. 2 One thingg to notice here 29. h is that we're w currentlly set to 6” and a a 150 pound sppecification. The nozzle that we're going g to moddel next will be an 8" size, and it would w also need n to be coompatible wiith the 300 pound flaange. So lett's see what the t new verssions of CAD DWorx can do d for this. This is wherre the self-aw ware components can coome into playy and help us with som me automatioon. 3 Click on 30. n the long weeld neck on the specview w tool palettte. 3 Right cliick and select Length. 31. 3 Type 2000 . As you dragg the flange in the model to connect 32. it, you will see it is set to a 6” sizze. 3 Osnap on the end off the 300 lb. flange and thhe system pllaces it. As 33. the nozzlle is placed, it will matchh the size annd spec of thee flange its connectinng to. It com mes in as an 8”, 300 pouund nozzle. Checking C thee gasket shhows it as an n 8”, 300 pouund gasket as a well.

3 So you can see how this 34. t automattion can reallly help us with w our productivvity. We don n't have to do d so many settings s and the t system reduces the t chances we w have to make m errors. The compaatibility is being cheecked with both b sizes annd specificatiions. 3 Double click 35. c the flan nge you justt modeled annd click the checkbox too make it existing. e 3 Repeat the 36. t process and model the t last nozzzle. 3 Check it,, and set it fo 37. or existing as a well.

OK, this is a goood stopping point. p Zoom m back out, make m sure annd save yourr draw wing and thenn we'll contiinue on afterr this.



1 In this viideo, we're going 1. g to checck the continnuity of this line. We're going to see if we haave any overllaps or gaps between thee componentts b you have to havve excellent in here. This is very important, because connectivvity for the line l to run suuccessfully through t ISOG GEN and produce the t fabrication isometriccs.

2 On the Palettes tab, click 2. c on the Discontinui D ity View buttton. The system will w display a dialog box..

3 Click on 3. n Refresh bu utton. The syystem foundd no issues. 4 Let's see how this wo 4. orks. You caan see in the dialog box there t are ngs. The sysstem is set too look for dissconnects some toleerance settin between two hundred dths of a milllimeter and 0.2 millimetters. So it haas a very finne tolerance when it checks for errorrs.

5 To illustrrate, we’ll crreate some disconnects. 5. d Type M (for Move) annd cross thro ough this line. Click a base b point annd drag the mouse upp. Type 0.1 . This T will havve been withhin the rangee the system m is checkin ng.

6 So we'll have 6. h some errors e here thhat will be beetween thesee two minimum m and maxim mum numberrs. Zoom baack out. Cliick Refresh h again. Now N the dialo og box show ws it has founnd some discconnects. When wee expand it, it i is finding disconnects between thee tee and thee pipe, andd the pipe an nd the elbow..

7 Click on 7. n the first disconnect lissted. The system will zooom into the model, annd show therre's a gap in here. The system s highllights the twoo componeents in the lisst where the disconnect occurs. o In thhis case, the disconneect is between n the tee andd the pipe.



8 Click on 8. n the bottom m row in the list of disconnnect. The system s will zoom into that area. In this case it’s showingg a disconnect between w and the pip pe. So let me m click over here now. If I I zoom ouut the elbow a little biit, I can see the t disconneect is showinng between thhe elbow and the pipe.

9 9.

The corrrect way to work with this system is model a line and theen run this Discontinuiity View cheecker. Check each linee as you go, and corrrect any misstakes beforre you try too produce issometrics.

1 Now move the line back 10. b to corrrect the discoonnect. Use Osnap t elbow. endpoint or center to connect thee line correcttly again to the 1 Click thee Refresh bu 11. utton again and a verify yoou have goood connectivvity with no issues foundd.

1 The CAD 12. DWorx Discontinuity Viiew has otheer buttons yoou can use. One show ws all types of disconnecct. One willl display onlyy the disconneected objects. Other butttons will shoow disconnecct not on thee line, overrlaps only, or o be used foor setting toleerances or coolor settings.

1 One buttton is to Rem 13. move Selecteed Overlaps. This couldd help you geet rid of som me overlaps that you migght find in your y model. The system can also export a list of these disconnects outt as a comma delimited file that you y can then n pull into a spreadsheet. s . This couldd be used to generate a report and d verify all disconnects have h been fixxed. So this is mmand that's built into CA ADWorx. a very poowerful com

1 Next, wee’ll set up a line 14. l numberiing system and a then we'lll embed the line numb mber into our componentss in this moddel. Ideally, before you start moddeling you seet the line nuumber beforeehand. But CADWorx is i very frienndly. It lets you add thee line number to the com mponents afteer they’re modeled, m or you y can alsoo change linees numbers iff they need to t be modiffied.




1 On the CADWorx 15. C Pllant 1 tab, inn the LNum area a of the riibbon is a Line Num mber Setup p button. Cliick on that.

1 The line number diallog box will open. The default 16. d settinngs are size and spec.

1 Click on the down arrrow for Cateegory. Click 17. k on SERVIICE and click on Add.

1 Next Clicck COUNT and click Add. 18. A

1 The systeem has a num 19. mber of fieldds you can use u to build a line numbeer. It's very easy e to map those over.

2 Click thee field called 20. d Separator. Type a hyphhen in the fieeld and click k Add twicce.

2 We’re staarting to build somethingg here. Our line numberr will show 21. size, servvice, count, and a spec. Click SPEC and a move it down to the bottom. Click a hyp phen and moove it up.




2 End up with 22. w SIZE-SE ERVICE- CO OUNT-SPEC.

2 Verify thhe system iss turned on (Dynamic). This will embed a line 23. number in i each comp ponent that includes i its size. s On thee eight-inch componeents, they will have line numbers n thaat start with an a 8. The 6-inch com mponents willl have line numbers n thatt start with a 6.

2 Some clients and useers might waant to have thhe line numbber set for 24. static. Thhat also worrks well. If you y use that setting, all the t componeents in a line will start with 8”, or 6” depending on o what the size is seet to when th he System Onn (Static Size/Spec) box is checked. For this example, e sett it to dynam mic (as shownn in the figurre).

2 Next we’’ll fill out so 25. ome of the linne number fields. fi Click Service. In thee Default Vaalue field typ pe in LH. Click Coount. In the Default Vallue field enteer in 2000.

2 If you cliick on any fiield in the lisst, the line number 26. n prevview (at the bottom of o the dialog box) will shhow the valuues. Click OK. O

2 Next we’’ll assign thee line numbeer to the com 27. mponents. Click the Assign button. b




2 Window 28. w the line bu ut don’t include the nozzzles that aree going to bee part of thhe equipment, and press . Thhe system prrompts, asking iff you want to o replace the line numberr. Right clicck and selectt yes to alll of it.

2 The line number has been embeddded in all thhese componnents. If youu 29. hover thee mouse over one you caan see the uppdated line number n displayedd. If you dou uble click a component, you’ll see thhe updated line numb mber in the diialog box.

3 Looking at an 8” com 30. mponent, youu’ll see the line l number starts with 8”. If yoou double cliick a 6” com mponent, youu’ll see the linne number starts witth 6”. So thaat's what thee dynamic seetting does: whatever thee size the component c is, that's the first f entry inn the line num mber string.

So great! g Get yoour drawing to here, save it, and we'll continue after a this.



1 In this viideo we're go 1. oing to set upp our drawinng up in paper space, andd dimensioon and annottate it (label it). 2 Close thee Spec View 2. w tool pallett. Close the navigation bar and thee view cub be. 3 Type: Navvcube 3. N . Preess > for off. 4 4.

First, wee're going to take a brieff look at how w you would go about bringing in a border and a dimensioning in moodel space if you needed to work like l that. Th hen we'll brinng in a bordeer in paper space. We’lll in paper spaace. This is see how to t dimension n and label components c the methood we're goiing emphasizze in these videos. v

5 Now let'ss bring in a border. 5. b Typ pe: SETUPC C . This will open a diialog box forr us. 6 When wee work in CA 6. ADWorx, wee can insert borders b in Model M Space or Paper Space. The choice is ouurs. We can also dimenssion and annotate either in mo odel space orr paper spacee. Let's just say for a second thhat you need ded to put something intoo model spacce to get somethinng done very y quickly. 7 You wouuld bring up this dialog box 7. b by typinng SETUPC. Then you would cliick on the Border B buttoon. The system would let l you choosse your ownn button, or one o of the boorders includded in the syystem.

8 CADWorx has a num 8. mber of pre-bbuilt borderss included. To T use them m you click k on Predefiined and chooose one of them. t If youu have your own com mpany borderr, you just cllick the use your y border button and browse for fo it. The sy ystem is easyy to use and it will let yoou select anyy border thhat you have available onn your system m.

9 For this example 9. e seleect the 594xx420 (ISO-A A2), then clicck OK. If we w were brinnging this in nto model spaace (you donn’t have to do d this), we would neeed to scale it i up. We would w go scalle, and selectt a scale (likke 1:20), thee click OK (don’t do thiss – I’m just showing s youu how this works). This would bring in the border. Thee attributes could c be filleed wing, scaled up u 1:20 (20 out and thhe border would come innto the draw times largger).



1 At that point, we cou 10. uld just movee this line doown into the border and dimensioon and annottate it. The dimensions d a text wouuld be scaledd and up 1:20 and a would lo ook right in the t drawing.. I'm going to t undo this,, since I juust wanted yo ou to see how w this is donne. We’ll bee working with the border b in Paaper Space. 1 I’ve donee the undo co 11. ommand to get g back to where w we staarted. Now I’ll type SETUPC S ag gain to get baack to wheree we left off. Since I changed my scale to 1:20 earlier,, I’ll reset it back to 1:1. This is how w it was beefore we took k a look at how you wouuld do all this in model space.

1 Close thee SetupC diialog box if you have it open, by cllicking OK. 12. We didn’’t really do anything a witth this last feew steps – I just j wanted to t show youu how to brin ng in a border in model space if youu ever neededd to do thatt.

1 We’re back to normal, like we were 13. w before we w looked att the SetupC C i could do. commandd and what it

1 Now we’’ll go to Paper Space. Click 14. C on the Layout tab (if it’s visibble on your screen). s If your y system m's not displaaying the Laayout tab, you can click on thee Quick View w Layouts button. b If you y do that, you'll seee both the model and youur Layout taab. So if youu click on Layout1 (as shown), it will take you y into papper space on the layout. Or, if youu click on th he Layout tabb, it'll do thee same. Clicck either one to get intto paper spacce.




1 The nextt thing we’ll do is set up the page to the 15. t size we want w to use. Right cliick on the Layout L tab, or o on the Quick View Layouts L button. Click Paage Setup Manager. M Click Moodify.

1 Set the Plotter 16. P namee to None. Click thee down arro ow to choosee a paper size. 1 Select th 17. he IS0-A2 bo order. It's gooing to be 5994x420. Cliick OK. 1 Type: Z , and 18. a E for zoom m extents. 1 At this pooint you cou 19. uld insert in our o companyy border herre. As long as a it's withinn this dotted d area, it willl plot. The dotted d area reepresents thee limits whhere the plottter can plot. 2 For this example, 20. e draaw a rectanggle to represeent a border. Click thee Home tab. Click thee Rectangle button. b Draw thee rectangle sllightly inside the dotted lines. It willl represent a border. At A work, you u would be inserting i in your y companny border at this pointt. 2 We have our paper seet up now. The 21. T rectanglee we just dreew representts our draw wing frame, or o our borderr. What we want to do now n is get our modeel in here, so o we can beggin to dimenssion it and annotate a it. 2 One wayy to think of Paper 22. P Spacee is like we have h a sheet of paper on our screeen that's hidin ng what's beehind it. Bacck behind whhat we’re looking at a is our file,, our line thaat we drew earlier. The way w we can get this too show up, is i we have too cut a hole in i this paperr. We do thaat with whaat's called a Viewport V command. 2 Once we cut a hole, we 23. w can look through that window annd see our model. It's I kind of an n unusual cooncept, but itt works greaat to producee drawingss of CADWo orx models.




2 Set the laayer to View 24. wl.

2 Click on 25. n the View ta ab. We’ll crreate Viewports. Click Rectangulaar.

2 If your version of Au 26. utoCAD® dooesn't have the t same kinnd of look, you can find f the View wport comm mand elsewheere on the ribbbon. Another good way to o work it is to go up to Tools, T and select Tool utoCAD and just click onn the Viewports toolbar. bars. Then select Au

2 To createe a viewport, we can clicck this singlee Viewport button. 27. b If your AuttoCAD doesn n’t have the Rectangularr button likee mine, use this.

2 I’ve clickked Rectangu 28. ular. Next I'll I click on a couple of points p to makke a window w. This is lik ke cutting a hole in the paper p and vieewing the model through this window. w

2 Once thiss is done it can 29. c be scaledd on the pagee.




3 Double click 30. c in the viewport. v T takes yoou into Modeel Space. Iff This you are using u the too olbar, you caan scale it easily.

3 On the neewer version 31. ns of AutoCA AD, there’s a click in the bottom areea of the scrreen to set itt. I'll click th hat and set it to 1:20. The T system zooms thhe drawing, so s that if we plot this papper 1:1, the model m in this window will w be plottted at the scaale of 1:20.

3 Double click 32. c out on the paper area a and crooss through the Viewporrt. This activ vates the grrips. Once thhe grips are visible, righ ht click, an nd select Dissplay Locked, Yes. Now w the scalingg in the viewportt is locked.

3 Notice hoow you can double clickk in the view 33. wport to go innto “Model Space” or o double clicck outside thhe viewport to t go into “P Paper Space..” Also, nottice how the UCS icons change as yoou switch froom Model Space to Paper Spacee. 3 When yoou're in this window 34. w (Moodel Space), you can editt the drawing. You can erase pipe and a you can add a other coomponents. You Y can modify thhe model.

3 Double clicking 35. c outsside the winddow puts youu on the paper (Paper Space). This T is how you’ll be set when you add a dimensions and textt.




3 You can use this buttton to togglee between Model 36. M Space and Paper Space. You Y can also o type MS orr PS to toggle between thhem.

3 So we're set out here on the papeer now. We’’ll put some dimensions 37. on the drrawing. Righ ht click on OSNAP, O an nd click Setttings.

3 Set Osnaap to use End 38. dpoint and cllick OK.

3 Click Hoorizontal (on 39. ne of the Dim mension com mmands). Zoom in n and Click on o the end of o the flangee (on the purrple center line), righht on the end d of the flangge, to the right of the gasket. g

4 Click on 40. n the center of the Tee.

4 Click on 41. n the center of the next Tee.

4 Click on 42. n the end of the center linne in the lasst flange.




4 Zoom ou 43. ut. Right cliick and selecct Dimensioon location. 4 Click up 44. p above the line, l where you’d y like thhe dimensions to appeaar. After youu click, presss enter and several timees to bring inn the dimensioons. The sysstem will echho paper spaace lengths but b as you press Entter, the proper model dim mensional vaalues will apppear. So you havee to make su ure that you u OSNAP up p on the end ds of these model ob bjects in ord der to come out o with moddel numberss. 4 Next we’’ll place som 45. me vertical diimensions. Click on n the vertica al dimension n button andd zoom in. Click on n the end of the nozzle. Move thee mouse dow wn and Click k on end of the t lower nozzle. Right cliick and Click a dimensiion location n, and press . < The vertiical dimensio on will be pllaced in the drawing.

4 Repeat the 46. t steps and d place a veertical dimeension on the right. Click thee Vertical dim mension button. Click on o the ends of o the two flanges. Right click and select Dimension D loocation. Clicck a point to n and press Enter. E place youur dimension

4 Now, youu could use AutoCAD 47. A d dimensions h as well. But using here the CAD DWorx versio on just makees it easier beecause the syystem automatically places them on thee proper layeer. It also haas the dimensioon style set up. u So it’s thhe most efficcient way to go about it.

4 We're woorking in two 48. o areas now in this modeel. We're puutting our annotatioon (text and dimensions) d ) on the papeer itself (Papper Space). Our moddel is back in n the Viewpoort, and our objects o (our piping, our valves, annd all our co omponents) are a back witthin this View wport in Model Sppace. Again n, as you swiitch from Moodel to Papeer space, you’ll seee the UCS (U User Coordinate System m) icons channge. Double clicking changes c from m one to the other. So why w don't youu get your model m to heree. We’re maaking great progress p andd we’ll continue affter this!


NG G Piping Lesson L 1_ _Video 6

1 Now, wee're going to do some lin 1. ne number annotation. a We'll call out (label) thhe line numb bers. We'll allso call out one o of the fitttings. We'lll have the system prod duce a leaderr that has a short s descripption on it. We’ll puut in a label underneath u thhe drawing that t just sayss Plan View.. So these are just som me of the otheer types of annotation a thhat you can do d with CAD DWorx.

2 Click on 2. n the Home tab t on the Ribbon R and we’ll w change our Layers. Turn offf layer View wl (set the 1550_M as the current layer, then and turn off layer l Viewl. That way we w will get a clean drawiing, since the outline of the viewpo orts will be turned off.

3 Now we'll annotate the line num 3. mber. Click k on the CAD DWorx Plant I tab, and look k in the line number n areaa of the ribboon. The firstt button lets us assign a line number. If we chhange line nuumbers and we windoow objects, it i will embedd the new linne number inn those objects. The next bu utton lets us annotate a a line number. Click on thaat T system automaticall a ly switches from f Paper Space S to button. The Model Sppace.

4 The systeem prompts to select thee componentt to annotate the line 4. number. Click on th he pipe and now n it's readdy to label (aannotate). p forr a start pointt. Zoom in and click where w you We get prompted want the text to start.. The system m prompts foor the angle. Press > to accept 0. 0 The label comes in at angle 0.

5 We labell another pip 5. pe segment. Click on lin ne number annotate a button annd click on another a pipe. Click a point p to starrt the text. Drag strraight up wiith Ortho on n and click for f the text to t be placed going up at 90 degreees.



6 We’ll annnotate one more 6. m segmennt. Click on the pipe, annd click a point wh here the textt starts. Drrag the mouse straight up u (Ortho onn) and click k. Use Grip ps to positionn the text if you y want to move it.

7 Next we’’ll label a red 7. ducer. Click k on CADW Worx Plant II I tab. Click k on the Annotate A buttton. This will w annotatee a componennt for us.

8 The systeem prompts for the type of annotatioon. Press to accept Shhort Descrip ption. Click on n the reducer. Right cliick and select Leader. With Orttho off, click k a point to place the teext. The systtem will place thee label on thee reducer usiing a leader. Normally we w use the short annnotation option in annotaating componnents. Howeever, if we were annnotating a vaalve, we wouuld probably want to labeel it with a valve tagg. So we would use that when promppted for shorrt annotationn or tag. Iff we use thatt option, the system will label it withh a descriptioon and valvee tag.

9 The systeem labels a component 9. c u using a combbination of thhe size and the short description.. As it placees the leader,, it will put the t point of the leadeer’s arrowheaad on the cennterline of thhe componennt. If you want to move m that, usse a grip to reposition r thhe arrowheadd. For this example do that. It’ss optional. It just dependds on how we w want our drawing to look.

1 The CAD 10. DWorx Plantt II tab also has h a graphic area. If we hover overr this buttoon we can seee it’s for labbeling sections. If we cliicked on it we w would geet a dialog bo ox with diffeerent labels to t put on ourr section views.




1 Here's onne for Detaills, here's onee for Plan. 11. Click on n the Plan bu utton. The dialoog box show ws different options o for laabeling yourr plan views.. You can have a labell with just thhe word PLA AN and a SCALE value underneaath it. Other options incllude a label with w a letter callout in a circle, orr a label with h two calloutts in a circle. So this CA ADWorx graphic area a has a vaariety of sym mbols that yoou can use too label your drawingss.

1 Click Heead and click 12. k OK. Click a point p to placce the Plan label. The system s prom mpts for the angle. Type: T 0 . It promptts for the Scale. Type: 1:20 .

1 So you can see CADWorx has a number of preset 13. p graphiic labels andd symbols you can use. Included are a welding symbols s andd many otherrs.

1 OK, get your 14. y drawing to here, then Save it. In the next video v we're going to take a go loo ok at the maaterial list.



1 In this viideo we're go 1. oing to take a look at thee bill of mateerials. We’ll look at soome databasse options annd ways you can export your y materiaal list. CAD DWorx has a number off options youu can use to list l your materialss. 2 Click on the CADWo 2. orx Plant I taab on the Ribbbon. 3 Look in the 3. t area for the t bill of materials. m Click thee Setup buttton. This show ws how a billl of materiaal gets put together. Thiss bill of material that we're lo ooking at herre is on a perr drawing baasis. So this would bee a bill of maaterial for thiis individuall drawing. 4 The bill of 4. o material is set up to innclude a piecce mark, quaantity, the size, the long descrip ption, and thee lengths. However, H youu can bring in i a variety of fields (in n the left coluumn) into thhe material liist, if you'd like to doo so. 5 For instaance, we could click Weiight and clicck Add. Thee system willl 5. include thhe weight vaalue into the material listt. We couldd change the weight coolumn namee to WGT. We W could maake it one-inch wide, andd move it up u in the list so it would appear anyw where acrosss the bill of materialss. For this example, e clicck Remove to take it outt. It's very easy for you y to custo omize the bill of materiall in a way thhat suits the way you work. 6 Another option is thee sort order. This sets upp the sequennce of how 6. n the list. The items willl be placed in i the list componeents appear in based on these setting gs. We can modify this,, and we cann also have the materrial list comee in sorting higher h to low wer or lowerr to higher. So the Biill of Material setup givees us a lot off options.

7 Since wee’ll be using the default settings 7. s for this t examplee, click Cancel. Now we’ll run r a bill of material forr this model.

8 Click Cu 8. ut. Press



9 Click a point 9. p (using g Osnap) in the upper right r cornerr of the border (to place wheere the bill of o material iss located). Thhe system o activates a viewport, and promptts to “select objects.” Press . Window w the model objects and d press . The syystem drawss a bill of maaterial onto the t drawing.. The compoonents are liisted in orderr and it shoows the quan ntities and descriptions.

1 One thingg I wanted you 10. y to see waas how it didd the piece mark m bubbless. It listed each e item in the model with w a call ouut (piece marrk). When itt showed a flange, it in ncluded the gasket g and bolts b as well,, and stackedd the bubblles.

1 These woork pretty weell. Typically piece marrks like thesee are done on 11. the isomeetric drawing g. If you waant them on a drawing like this, you usually move m them around som me as neededd for clarity. CADWorx has a com mmand to move them. Click Plaant. Click Billl of Materials. Click Taag. Click Loocation. Click on n a bubble you want to move. m Click a new n point to o reposition n it. Press to keep the leadder line, and press to repeat the commannd. Using < like this makees it go prettty quickly.

1 In this exxample we won’t 12. w show the piece maarks, since thhey will be done in our o Isogen issometric draw wing which we’ll do sooon. To deletee them Click Plaant. Click Billl of Material. Click Deelete. Now we’’ll toggle theem off and afterwards rerun the Bill of Material.




1 Click Plaant. 13. Click Billl of Material. Click Taag. Click Tooggle. To rerun the Bill of Material: M

1 Click Cu 14. ut. Click thee upper righ ht corner off the borderr to place thee Bill of Material.. Press (to select s compoonents). Window w the model in the viewpport and Press .

1 Now onee thing we taalked about earlier 15. e was expanding the spacing in the long description column c of thhe bill of maaterial so thatt it didn’t linne b and click c on the wrap. Too do this, you could clickk the Setup button Long Desc column. Then you coould change the Columnn Width to a bigger nuumber (150 for f instance)). Once it’s changed, thee bill of materialss would disp play with moore room in thhe long desccription column.

1 We’ve doone a Cut Leength Bill off Material. The 16. T system can c also produce a Total Leng gth Bill of Material. M Whhat that does is, it groupss the pipess by size in th he list and tootals the quaantity of pipee for each diameter. All of the 8” pipe wouuld be totaledd out for exaample, and all a of the 6” pipe would be totaled. You wouldnn't have an inndividual entry for each cut len ngth piece off pipe.




1 There is also an Export button. This lets yoou export ou 17. ut of bill of materiall to a spread dsheet, a texxt file, or an n Access file. I’ll press Enter to sho ow you (youu don’t have to do this unnless you want to) and we’ll tak ke a look. Itt says to seleect componeents. I'll justt select a few f componeents here to see what opttions we havve. The system gives us choicces to save the t Bill of Material M file out o as an xls file type, a txt file, a mdb file (M Microsoft Acccess databasee), or a web o we have a lot l of optionns on exportiing this format (hhtm file). So material list. I’ll press the Escappe key and doouble click to t return to Paper Sppace. 1 Here’s another 18. a row of o buttons thhat might be useful to yoour work. What it does d is it exp ports out to a database.. So if you had h 20 drawingss that made up u a project you were woorking on, you could export thhem out indiv vidually intoo a database and get a coombined bill of materrial for yourr project. The T system will w also allow w you to Append and Synchrronize these each time you y change a drawing. So S it can keeep up with your y changess and keep thhe combinedd bill of materialss in order. The T componeents you deleeted from yoour drawing will com me out of you ur database (w when you exxport the draawing after changingg it). The components yoou've added into your drrawings will be addedd to the datab base.

1 CADWoorx also has an option for 19. f a live database. If thhis is enableed, each com mponent you add to a moodel also getss added to a database. The systeem can run with w Access,, Oracle, or SQL Serveer. There aree features to t Audit and d Synchronizze the modell and databasse if needed.. There’s also a a way to o take an expported database and use that as inputt into CAD DWorx. You u can Importt the databasse in and CA ADWorx will produce a model from m the databaase itself. 2 Another CADWorx feature 20. f is thee Center of Gravity Geenerator. This is ruun in the Mo odel Space arrea. I’ll show w you how this t works – you can follow f along g if you like or just watchh. I'll doublle click in th he viewportt to enter Model M Space.. I’ll click on o the Centter of Graviity button. The T system prompts to “select “ componeents.” I'll prress Enter, cross c through everythiing in the model annd press . It prrompts for a file name, or press for none. I’ll press since I don't need to save the I press for file. It prrompts “Do you want too view it?” I'll yes.




2 The systeem lists the weight 21. w and the t position of o all the com mponents inn this modeel. I'll presss too work dow wn the list, evventually getting too the bottom m. The system m will give us u a summattion, so it shows the total weigh ht, and it givves us the loccation of thee center of gravity. It asks if wee want to inssert a markeer. I'll presss for yes, and a it draws a small markker locating the center of o gravity forr this modeel. The grap phic is smalll, so I’ll use the t AutoCA AD Scale commandd to enlarge it. I’ll scalee it up 200.

2 Double click 22. c on the Paper Spacce area of thhe drawing. What the center off gravity does for us is it gives us a balance b pointt. It's usefull i if we w were goinng to lift thiss line offshore in engineeering. For instance, and swinng it over and d place it, if we designedd our shacklees to be lifteed straight above a this po oint, the linee would com me up in balannce. It wouldn't be tilting orr swaying exxcessively. So S this is anoother tool in CADWorx that can be b done autoomatically beecause CAD DWorx carriees c the weighht of all its components.

2 So there are a lot of options 23. o in CA ADWorx forr sorting maaterials, for setting upp lists in the form you'd like them, foor exportingg and importingg out of dataabases, and for f running live l databasees. So CADWorx has a lot of o features thhat makes itt easy for youu to work thhe way that''s best for yo ou.


NG G Piping Lesson L 2 Video 1 1 In this viideo we're go 1. oing to produuce an ISOG GEN isometrric of this line. ISO OGEN shoulld already bee configured on your sysstem. We have a viideo on how to go about doing this at a the beginnning of these lessons. So take a lo ook at that annd if you havven't got ISOGEN configurred at this point, make sure you doo that beforee proceedin ng. 2 Our first drawing hass been comppleted. 2. Return to t Model Sp pace - Click on the Modeel tab or use the Quick View Layyouts and Model M tab. 3 Now we’’ll generate an 3. a Isogen isoometric. Cliick the Isogen Out button (oon the CADW Worx Plant I tab). The system s prom mpts to select objects. Press . Windoow all the ob bjects in youur drawing n Plot Files.. and Presss . Click Open You shouuld see the issometric hass been exporrted successffully. If it hasn't beeen exported successfullyy, then Open n Plot Files anyway, andd you'll seee what it pro oduced. A loot of times when w you loook at these isometriccs, even thou ugh they havve errors, theey'll display error notes and labells that will sh how where to t look in yoour model foor disconnectts between componentss. Then you zoom in to those t areas and a fix thinggs. This is what w I showed in one of our o earlier viideos.

4 Taking a look at the isometric, 4. i w can see thhat the system we m labels the plant cooordinates on n the ends off the pipe. The T nozzles are shown as a existing when they are a dotted likke this. This represents an a existing n’t get piecee marked or is counted inn the materiaal componeent that doesn list.

5 Look furrther and we can see it's all 5. a dimensiooned correctlly. There aree some opttions you caan do in Isoggen to changge how it dim mensions thee gaskets. You can alsso have the system s draw w overall meaasurements; there are a number off settings yoou can do in ISOGEN. I W cover thaat We t Isogen. Inn this figure, extensiveely in the secction of videeos devoted to you'll seee it stacked the t piece maarks for the bolts, b gasketss, and flangees. The text in Isogen wiill always bee clear. It dooes not draw w it where a line or otther text cov vers it. Someetimes lines might cross each other, leaders might m cross th hrough other lines, but text t is never blocked by another object. o

6 Here youu can see how 6. w it's shown the Spec brreak.

7 Looking at the materrial list, it shows the totaal quantity of 7. o pipe and weight. It also show ws each cut leength piece of pipe. Noow those of you that are running on a demo version v of CA ADWorx, yoou'll just get blanks inn some of theese fields. So S for you too get the num mbers that you’ll neeed for the qu uizzes, you can c use the bill b of materiial you created inn the first drrawing.

You can see thatt ISOGEN iss just a phenomenal tool. Users’ prooductivity levells just go thrrough the roo of with this. One thoughht about ISO OGEN is thatt if yoou build a moodel correctlly, the isomeetrics becom me a byproduuct of the moddel. They're just j an autom matic result that can be produced p froom a model. So thhat's why yoou want to haave really goood connectivity whenevver you put compponents togeether. Makee sure you press p Enter as you place adjacent components. When W you neeed to manuaally put com mponents intto the modeel, makee sure that you y always use u OSNAPss, end pointss or centers are a always goinng to be goodd to use. So great! g Get yoour isometricc done and we'll w carry onn after this.



1 In this viideo, we're going 1. g to lookk at some of the options you y have when youu route pipe and elbows.. Let's start a new drawiing. Click Neew. Use a tem mplate. Click Meetric and Cllick Open.

2 Click Setup. 2. Click Sp pecification//Size, and Click Brrowse. Select th he Sample_M Metric_Inch h project and Click Opeen. Click on n the 150_M M spec. Set the Main M size to 10” and the Reduced siize 6”.

3 Click Pip 3. ping Rules. Set the fiirst three ru ules to Automatic. Set the next n two (Pip pe Length annd the Weld Insertion Ruule) to No. Set Gask ket and Boltt Insertion Rule R to Autoomatic. Set the Trimmed T Elb bow Rule No N (later we'lll set that to Yes when we w want to start s doing so ome Slope Lines L and som me Rolled Offsets.) O Set the next n four rules to Autom matic. Set the Pipe P and Preep Rule to No. N Set the Center C Line to On. Click Ap pply and Clo ose.

4 We can use 4. u differentt ways to vieew the modell from an anngle in 3D. If I we want to use the viiew cube thaat’s one choiice. To use that, we should first right clicck on the Hoome button and set our current vieew as Homee. That way later, when you click onn the corner of o the view cube, it will w out to a southwest issometric view w. Setting thhe previous view (thee plan view) to home earrlier makes it i easy to gett back to thatt view. Alll it takes is a click on thhe Home buttton to returnn it to the topp view if thhings look differently than expected.

8 Once thee line is starteed, the systeem tries to rootate with ann elbow 8. around thhis compass figure. Typpically it starrts with a horrizontal rotation, but you can also drag it straight up. 9 If you're using 90 deg 9. gree elbows like we havve, if we donn't have i you have trimmed t trimmed elbows this is easy to coontrol. But if s itt can be a litttle tricky because you might m be elbows, sometimes rolling it out at an od dd angle. 1 So if youu're doing thaat you couldd always typee the letter P annd 10. it will rolll it into a veertical plane for you. Thhat way you know if you're ruunning with trimmed t elboows, you cann always maake sure it's going up and down. You can do a vertical riight plane. If I you type P n, the system m will switchh to a verticaal left hand and presss Enter again plane. Typing P again returns r it bacck to the horrizontal planee. So you can easily sw witch these pllanes.

1 Drag to the 17. t right, an nd Type: 3,000 . From herre we'll do a rolled offset. The line will w go 5,0000 in the X directionn, 4,000 in th he –Y direction, and dropp 3,000 in thhe –Z directionn. It will be going g at a diiagonal, in a slanted, dow wnward angle. Type: @5000,-4000 @ 0,-3000 . Drag outt to the loweer right andd Type: 3000 > .

1 Let's cheeck some of the elevations in the linee. 18. Type: ID D . Use OSN NAP Endpoint (or Centeer) and Click on n the center line in the elbow. e The systeem displays the coordinaates. The Z value 3000. Press to rep peat the com mmand. Click onn the next seg gment up one level. The systeem displays the coordinaates. The Z value is 45000.




1 Next wee’ll check thee ID of the bottom 19. b of thee upper pipe segment. Press En nter to repeaat the ID com mmand. Hold dow wn Shift, an nd right click k. Click Qu uadrant. Click on n the bottom m quadrant of o the pipe. The Z cooordinate willl be 6000. Later whhen we run IS SOGEN, it will w label this segment’s Center Linee Elevationn. This is ho ow you can check c the heeight of thesee pipes.

2 So we'vee got quite a line going on here. Let's see what IS 20. SOGEN doees with this. Click thee ISOGEN Out O button. Press to sellect componnents. Window w the line and d press .

2 The isom 21. metric has a lot l of inform mation in it. It I started outt at 0,0,0. Then it went w up to an n elevation of o 3000. So that's the Ceenter Line Elevationn of that linee, 3,000 milliimeters up above a the staarting point.

2 From theere, the isom 22. metric shows how we wennt to an elevation of 4,500. Thhat's the Cen nter Line Eleevation. Andd then the neext level up was 6,000 as the Botttom of Pipe elevation. So S the centerr line elevationn came in at 6137, but thhe BOP levell of that pipee is at 6,000.




2 From theere the line sloped down at 100 millimeters per meter. 23. m At the top level the line elev vation is 61337, and as it sloped downn we ended d a 500 milliimeter drop just j as it shoould. up at 56337. So it had 2 The line traveled oveer 3,000 from 24. m there and it i had a rolleed offset thatt was 50000 (X), 4000 (-Y), ( and 30000 (-Z). The isometric shows s the trimmed 55.6 ° elbow w. Then we brought it on o down at 3,000 from there whiich completeed the line. Usinng the new Routing R optio ons worked beautifully. b You also stiill have all the Router R comm mands that you had in eaarlier versionns. This new wer version thouugh, has the advantage a off avoiding exxtra points getting g placedd by mistakee alongg the routed centerline, which w was a common errror in the Roouter comm mand. In thhe older versiions, when users u createdd the router line l manuallyy, someetimes they would w click an extra poiint along thee way or at thhe corners. This would cause errors. Th his new versiion avoids thhose. So you y do this now, and takee the notes inn the workboook and keyy in the meassurements ass given. Pro oduce this moodel and theen generate an a ISOGEN ISO of it. Then we’ll contin nue after thatt!
