Hi Mike, I am currently working on a project , it involves Heating (LTHW) Pipe design . I started the pipe model in Autopipe Connects and need to add 45 degree bends , I couldn’t find the 45 degree bend to add, could you let me know how to add 45 or any other degree acute to obtuse, please. The other question I have , can we import CAD dxf file direct into Autopipe?
Regards Firdaus
Hello Firdaus,
Within AutoPIPE, please go to Help>Workbook to open the AutoPIPE Modeling Approached Workbook.
The click on Bends>45° Elbow.
This will open up an example modeling approach for modeling a 45° bend.
For your second question... no, you cannot insert a .dxf file from AutoCAD. However, you can insert the coordinates from an AutoCAD model through Excel. Please see the following link:

Thank you,
