Places flow arrow symbols on pipe runs and orients them based on the flow direction properties of the pipes. The software draws a symbol at one-half of the pipe diameter and can draw the symbol on a pipe resymbolized as a line.

Usage in Label Template XML

<label>
<content>
<contentModule value="DrawingFlowDirectionContent"/>
<unidirectionalSymbol>

Piping Plan_FlowArrow_By Part_Flow_arrow1.sym

</undirectionalSymbol>
<bidirectionalSymbol>

Piping Plan_FlowArrow_By Part_Flow_arrow-bi.sym

</bidirectionalSymbol>
<noFlowSymbol>

Piping Plan_FlowArrow_By Part_No-Flow_Arrow1.sym

<noFlowSymbol>

<minDiameter>0.02</minDiameter>

<ignoreError>-1</ignoreError>
<scaleFactor>0.5</scaleFactor>
</content>
</label>

The symbol file must be located in the same folder as the label template XML, and the center line of the pipe must be drawn.

Customization

unidirectionalSymbol

Specifies the symbol that the system places when the pipe permits flow to travel in only one direction through the pipe.

unidirectionalsymbol

1 - Pipe
2 - Unidirectional Symbol

bidirectionalSymbol

Specifies the symbol that the system places when the pipe permits flow to travel in both directions.

bidirectionalsymbol

1 - Pipe
2 - Bidirectional Symbol

noFlowSymbol

Specifies the symbol that the system places when the pipe on which you want to place the symbol does not permit flow to travel through the pipe.

This attribute is only available for flow arrows that you place manually.

noflowsymbol

1 - Pipe
2 - NoFlow Symbol

minDiameter

Specifies the minimum diameter of a routed object at which the system may place a flow arrow.

Pipes of a smaller outside diameter have no flow arrow.

minDiameter_selected

1 - 0.0 m diameter pipe
2 - Flow arrow

ignoreError

Specifies whether or not the system places a label if the software returns no content or an error for the label.

Type -1 to suppress the label when an error occurs.

ignoreLabelContentError2

1 - Error label

Type 0 to display the label regardless of an error.

ignoreError display label

1 - Empty label

scaleFactor

Controls the size of pipe flow arrow symbols. The software places a flow direction arrow scaled to a percentage of the pipe diameter.
