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

The cross-sectional diameter of the routed object must be equal to or greater than the specified diameter in order for the software to place a flow arrow on the object.

Examples

  • The following image shows a pipe with a diameter of 0.508 m. The specified Minimum Diameter is 0.0 m. The diameter of the pipe is greater than the Minimum Diameter. Therefore, the system places a flow arrow on the pipe.

    minDiameter_selected

    1 - 0.0 m diameter pipe
    2 - Flow arrow

  • The following image shows a pipe with a diameter of 0.508 m. The specified Minimum Diameter is 0.1 m. The diameter of the pipe is less than the specified Minimum Diameter. Therefore, the software suppresses the flow arrow.

    minDiameter_suppressed

    1 - 0.508 m pipe

No minDiameter value. The software draws flow arrows for all pipe sizes

No minDiameter value; resymbolized pipe

minDiameter = 0.2; the software does not draw flow arrows for pipes below 200 mm diameter

minDiameter = 0.2; resymbolized pipe

  • The content module Flow Direction (DrawingFlowDirectionContent) uses the Minimum Diameter property.

  • In contrast to the majority of properties, the software interprets the Minimum Diameter distance that you specify as model space units and not paper space units.

  • You must specify a non-negative model value for this diameter.

  • You can use either metric or imperial units for this measurement.

  • To manually edit the .xml, specify the minimum diameter at which a flow arrow must be placed. Enclose this value within the following .xml tags.

<minDiameter>0.02</minDiameter>
