Pipe cut list with extra for site welds

autocad2 — Fri, 27 Apr 2018 10:09:13 GMT

Hi,

Is it possible to add extra length to the cut list on field welds. For example I would like 200mm extra on all pipe spools that are attached to field welds?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Ryan

Dear @autocad2,

not automatically, works only by manual input!

Hi Ryan,

Please try using the Makeup length option in Project settings. Refer attached image.

Hope this may help.

Thanks

Vasu

Hi Vasu27,

Thanks for your reply, i think the makeup length applies to the BOM only and not the Cut list.

Thanks Ryan.

Dear Ryan,

this is possible - with one limitation.

Use therefore command PLANTDEFINECALCPROPERTIES and create a new pipe property. Like in this snapshot:

Afterwards you have to update table setup in the title block:

Open Project setup and switch to node "Isometric DWG Settings - Title Block and Display"
Click "Setup Title Block..."
Click Button "Table Setup"
Select table "CutPieceList" and add the new property as an additional column to the table setup
Save and try

There is one limitation: It is not possible to set the precision by using PLANTDEFINECALCPROPERTIES. You can vote for this idea on the idea site.
