In the Catalog Explorer list view or the stockpile, select the inline instrument that you want to place.
-
Drag the item to the appropriate line in the drawing.
-
Position the item and release it.
-
In the Properties window, specify properties of the inline instrument in the appropriate rows in the table.
If the Properties window is not visible, you can display it by selecting the instrument and then selecting
Edit > Properties on the main menu bar.
-
As you drag inline instruments over a pipe run, the pipe run appears selected. If you place an inline instrument when a pipe segment is not selected, the instrument is placed in free space if rules defined in Rule Manager allow such a placement.
-
If the item you place has multiple possible orientations in relation to other items, you can use the Configuration (QuickPick) tool to select the appropriate placement for the item.
-
While placing an inline instrument on a pipe run with associated heat tracing, if the pointer is below the pipe run, then the heat tracing appears above the instrument and vice versa – regardless of the heat tracing orientation on the piping. By keeping the pointer either above or below the piping, you can decide the orientation for the heat tracing on the inline instrument at placement time.
