Overview
The purpose of this article is to advise how to measure tubing / pipe using Measure Tube – By Line Segment method.
Download a PDF of this procedure:
Information: This method is used where no tube is present, but can be created using measured lines to set tube straight positions.Measuring a tube by line segments, combines the measured end planes and straight start / end positions to construct the tube to the entered diameter and bend radius.
Preparation
- Establish the Start and Finish end faces.
- Identify the straight section positions needed.
Measurement
From the Measurement ribbon select Tube by Line segments (also via Home - Measurement gallery).
|
- The Measurement window will show prompt to Measure Tube - Start plane.
- Probe a minimum 3 points to set the start plane of the tube.
- Probe a minimum 3 points to set the start plane of the tube.
- The measurement window will then prompt to Measure Tube
- Probe the of the start and end of each straight section, using the green button.
Note: Do not compensate after each straight.
- Probe the of the start and end of each straight section, using the green button.
- Once the final break Point has been probed, press the red button.
- The Measurement Window will prompt to Measure Tube - End plane.
- Probe a minimum 3 points to set the end plane of the tube
- Probe a minimum 3 points to set the end plane of the tube
- Once the end plane has been probed, the tube will be created.
