easy way to create pipe juntions

[genepaulkirner]

Hi guys, fairly new to Autocad so there is probably a simple answer to this

When making pipe juntions (for this case 2 connecting pipes at 90deg to each other, is there any way to remove the inside section of pipe where the two connect and trim accordingly?

I have been copying the whole section then solid subtracting the different pipes then seperating solids, removing the sections i dont need and then putting back together. 

This works fine however when it comes to adjusting angles or inverts i need to create a whole new section and re do this process.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Are you using just plain AutoCAD? or another variant? Plaine AutoCAD doesn't actually have such tools, unless you're satisfied with drawing a bunch of disconnected lines all over the place (or find a block that looks like what you want).
