schemtaic fittin display

[fdguandique]

Hello everyone. I have made a piping 3d plan and turned the view from MEP design to schematic. When I do this all the brazed fitting connection points show up as large filled in circles. Is there to turn this off or at least modify it so that they are not as large?

thanks

From the display manager turn the visibility of the
connectors off (see attached image).  This will turn off the connectors
globally, but you can also control it per system, style or object.  The
scale of the connector symbol cannot be changed to my knowledge.  Hope this
helps.

I am in ABS 07, here's what I found so I can turn off my connectors. You can also do this to your individual drawings as well. If you fix it in the template all of your new dwgs based off of it will be fixed as well.

Format/Display Manager:
{choose your template}.dwt
Representation by object/Pipe fitting/{choose your display config}
Turned off: Connector, Connector-graphical, Connector-hidden
Representation by object/Pipe custom fitting/Plan
Turned off: Connector, Connector-graphical, Connector-hidden

If you wanted to just adjust your rise/drop sizes, here is the procedure I use to set mine to always represent a particular size (10" for this example). The downfall to this is that the pipe line doesn't "trim" out the way I think it should. Test it out on a dwg first and then change it in your template.

Format/Style Manager:
{choose your template}.dwt
Piping Objects/Pipe rise drop symbols/Pipe break-rise only
Rise {or the rep you use}/Drop tab
Circular drop 1-line: under scale click on “Override scale”, input: x=10, y=10, z=10
Circular rise 1-line: under scale click on “Override scale”, input: x=10, y=10, z=10
Circular drop 1-line tee: input: x=10, y=10, z=10


Hope this is what you were looking for! 🙂

**Looks like Greg beat me to the punch while I was typing mine up 🙂 **
