Single Line Detail Level

Once you have piping drawn is it possible to have it display in a single line format (similar to revit detail level: coarse)? This would be handy to make it also look like a regular blueprint. Have attachment #1 (piping1) look more like attachment #2 (piping2).

Not sure why you would want to but...... database>takeoff>CAD settings>Display>Only Show Edge Lines if Pipe Diam > change it to a rather large number higher than your largest pipe size. apply and exit the rebuildall.

You could also freeze the 2D and 3D pipe layers leaving only the CL layer. This wouldn't show connectors unless you are using a connection object (no-hub band) as a separate entity and on a separate layer controlled by the service.

Basically sometimes we have to do drawings so someone can get their building permit and 3d isn't necessary, besides if I need to change a size on something it's sometimes easier to just change a label rather than change all the piping.
