[QUOTE=ian79kirby@yahoo.com;58746]Hi may I know what is the command for piping to get the Pipe outside diameter with fire protection and also get pipe diameter but this time taking its original pipe diameter.

Ex. Pipe is 600 dia + fire protection of 50 will be 700 dia pipe with fire protection

Thanks

q p1OD is the command for the outside dia of pipe eventhough on the component level stand on the component and put q param in the param od is defined

Question: Is there a shortcut command for copying members?
What I mean is a short cut comand that i can type to the command line to copy member 'A 'with direction without using the Create/Copy on the Pull down menu
Something like what we have on Draft wherein we can Copy like Ex. Repeat by y 50 or repeat by

command : new FRMW copy prev by e 1000

these command will copy the Frmw with the members under it towards East 1000

Tnx atish will try it asap.

I use this to find the face to face of a valve in Imperial units. If you want the metric value, remove the / 25.4 from the 1st line.

1st - Make valve the CE
2nd - In the command line type this in first and hit return:
           !!F2F = (2 * !!CE.CATREF.PARAM[2]) / 25.4
       then type this line in and hit return. (The value will be displayed in the command window)
           $P $!!F2F

Hope this is of use to someone.

!!F2F = fitlen / 25.4
I wonder if above would work as well.
