When called upon, these values are converted based on the factors mentioned in the assigned Units file and displayed on dialogs or in grids as needed. However, in the actual model database behind the scene, all values are converted and stored in English units. This will ensure that the program is getting the correct information in an order to dynamically adjust the dialog based on the selection / check boxes / data entered.Īt this time, user's will enter appropriate values base on the Units for that dialog field / grid cell regardless of the model units being Metric or English. When a dialog screen appears, press TAB key to progress through the pre-determined sequence of field selection when on a specific field, enter data as required. The best method for interfacing with any of AutoPIPE's dialog screens is by using the Keyboard "Tab" key. These dialog screens are dynamically interactive meaning that there is a specific order in which the dialog expects data to be entered, this sequence of data / options selected / check boxes may convert subsequent dependent fields to be Grayed-out / Close or become Un-grayed / Open to allow a user to enter data. One of the main interfaces in AutoPIPE is by entering data into many of the programs dialog screens. Note: Also refer to Tools/ Model options /Edit > "Use feet-inches display format" option\ ENTERING DATA INTO DIALOG SCREENS: Use any of the following Unit formats when entering coordinates "Offset" fields (i.e., "Length," "DX/DY/DZ") use architectural units. The displayed units are dependent upon the specified library located underTools> Model Options> General> Units file name - Input: / Output.

If this field is blank, the unit value is dimensionless. Note: the units for any dialog field entry is always located in the lower right hand corner of the application screen, as shown above.

Take some time to familiarize yourself with AutoPIPE’s interface by examining the areas of the screen annotated below. The AutoPIPE interface is designed to simplify the task of creating, modifying, and reviewing models of any complexity.
