because there

1.
uple of thinggs that are reaally importaant here and
will savee you a lot off trouble lateer as you go through CADWorx.
2 If you reccall, we initiially put a flaange in the drawing.

2.
d
W had a flangge
We
and whenn we placed the pipe up against the flange,
f
we cllicked PIPE
and presssed Enter. This
T let it connnect automatically.
3 When yoou place com

3.
mponents in CADWorx,
C
o option iss clicking a
one
componeent from the Spec view toool palette, like
l PIPE, annd then
zooming in and using
g Osnap to connect
c
to a previous
p
com
mponent.
4 That willl work, but itt's problemaatic. Some components are

4.
a really
narrow, like
l the gask
kets. This makes it easy to Osnap onn the wrong
side of gaasket, which
h can cause connectivity
c
problems (if the End
Type rulee is not set). So when yoou have a coomponent plaaced and youu
want to continue
c
righ
ht on with annother component, the beest method is
i
to click your
y
new com
mponent andd press Enterr on the keybboard. The
system will
w automatiically connecct the two coomponents, and
a you willl
have perffect connectivity betweeen these com
mponents.
5 Later, as you model in

5.
i CADWorrx, if you havve small spaaces or
overlaps between com
mponents, IS
SOGEN willl generate errrors as it triees
to producce the isomeetric drawingg. So just bee aware of thhat.
6 Another thing to talk
6.
k about is flanges. If we click a flangge and we goo
from left to right, thee system placces it. Whenn you click a flange agaiin
and repeaat the steps (left
(
to right)) it will alterrnate. The fiirst time its
face firstt, then the bu
uttweld side is placed seccond. The next
n time youu
click flannge it will do
o the oppositte (buttweld first, face seecond).
7 When yoou click FLA

7.
ANGE alwayys notice the prompt. It will

getting too the bottom

m will give us

shows the total weigh

a it draws a small markker locating the center of

this modeel. The grap
phic is smalll, so Ill use the
t AutoCA
AD Scale
commandd to enlarge it. Ill scalee it up 200.
2 Double click
22.
c
on the Paper Spacce area of thhe drawing. What the
center off gravity does for us is it gives us a balance
b
pointt. It's usefull
i
if we
w were goinng to lift thiss line offshore
in engineeering. For instance,
and swinng it over and
d place it, if we designedd our shacklees to be lifteed
straight above
a
this po
oint, the linee would com
me up in balannce. It
wouldn't be tilting orr swaying exxcessively. So
S this is anoother tool in
CADWorx that can be
b done autoomatically beecause CAD

if yoou build a moodel correctlly, the isomeetrics becom

So thhat's why yoou want to haave really goood connectivity whenevver you put
