AutoCAD Plant 3D

When using the "line to pipe" command (PLANTCONVERTLINETOPIPE), I select the construction lines for the pipe to draw, after putting in the pipe it deletes the construction lines. Is there a setting so that these lines are not deleted.

Pick option erase after starting the Line to Pipe command, then select no.

Thank you, do you know if there is a setting for that so that the line is never erased?

Hi PatrickByrne,

Currently, there is no such system variable to control the lines never be erased.

Thanks.

Any chance you could be added to the wish list.

Thanks

The way I accomplish converting line to pipe and keeping construction lines is to draw all construction lines on a dedicated layer (ex. Pipe Construction). I then freeze the "pipe construction layer before starting the line to pipe command. I then just thaw the pipe construction layer. It sounds complicated but I have toolbar button programed with a macro to do everything in one click. I will paste my macro below for reference. Just create a new custom command and program to button.
