What is the maximum pipeline length we can model in AutoPipe?
Answer:
You can model any length of pipe line as long as the model database does not exceed the 10,000 node point limitation.
Is there a limit on the number of digits for the coordinates in Autopipe? We have a project that has the following plant coordiantes, 202094'4.875", that we want to use in Autopipe.
Yes there is a limit.
On the Input grid's, point tab, Global X, Y, & Z values are limited to input 8-9 place values regardless of the value that can actually be entered (max =15 place value). As a general rule of thumb, suggest trying to restrict this field to about 8-9 values (example 1234.6789, or 123456.89).
Another option, change the unit of measurement used for coordinate in the respective Unit input file (*.UNT) specified on Tools> Model Options> General> Unit Input. Instead of using Feet use yards, mile, furlong, etc..
