AutoCad :: Pipe Cutting Template - How To Unwrap Pipe Into Flat Section
Dec 27, 2003
I have these two pipes, one is 4" diameter (running horizontally) and the other is 6" diameter running at a 30degree from horizontal angle. eventually the two hit, and at that intersection I need to make the 4" pipe join to the 6"' pipe, which then continues on its merry way farther down the structure. So I can extrude the two pipes, and I can even make a union and then remove the excess of the 6" pipe, because what I am really looking for is: a cutting diagram for the joint where the remaining 4" pipe hits the 6" section. A cutting diagram for the short piece of a Y joint.
I can make this image appear on my screen, but I am then stumped as to how to unwrap the pipe into a flat section so that I can see the curvature of the cuts required in planar view, for the real pipe that I have on my shop floor.

I have 2 pieces of round pipe meeting in a V shape, one of them being cut to sit on the other. I need to make a template so the shop guys can put on the pipe for marking the cut, so if i get the section of pipe modelled in 3D, can i then unroll it to procuce the template ?

I have lots of section views with some surfaces and pipes. Unfortunately, in a number of section views pipes are not shown in full height because the section view level range is too little. What I am wondering is - is it possible to automatically adjust section level ranges so that they fully include pipe sections? Please see also the image in the attachment.

I am constructing a pipe (made up by sections) in Inventor. The pipe is going to be manufactured by cutting pieces of metal in a flow jet, roll them, and eventually weld them together.
I was wondering if it is possible to "unfold" the pipe sections to the plane, so I easily can see the cutting lines for the flowjet?

I designed these pipes that intersect each other in AutoCAD but that program doesn't seem to do much else other than drafting.
I want to open a pipe design so i can print it out, paste it on a real pipe and cut the end out. It's pretty much sheet metal development.
Attached is one of the many pipes. I have Autodesk Inventor FUSION 2013. Does that have any such features or do I have to get the Professional version?

Pipe network storm pipes: Fairly new to Civil3D and trying to set up parts list for the storm sewer pipe and would like the plan view to appear as it does currently. We use a polyline for centerline of pipe, similar to dashed linetype but line and space are the same, width set to pipe width.

I created pipe network for my storm drain project. I have located all the structures (manhole) to all angle point of my alignment as required. Also I "insert" manhole every 400' per local code requirements using the command "network layout tools; structures only. My problem is I couldn't find the tools how to trim the pipe that pass through the manhole. Please see attached pdf file.

Is there a way in inventor if you have an existing pipe route to create a new pipe run and place that existing route into the new run.

One of the things I seem to struggle with is being able to depict a single pipe when it needs to be shown in one profile as a crossing pipe, and another profile where you you show a lenghwise slice through the pipe. I end up tracing the pipe with eliptical objects where I'm cutting across the pipe and setting up more for the lengthwise/sideview of the pipe. Is there a way to have two different styles for the same pipe, one for a cross cut and one for a lengthwise slice?

When I create a pipe I want the name to include the pipe size. I set the template in the commands to do this but it is not working.

I'm trying to create pipe route using the tube & pipe run. And its not constrained when I try to drag away. I tried grounding the components which is not working either. since the routing opens in 3dsketch its kinda tricky to make it fully constrained.

I have attached a picture of my issue. I have a section view with pipes drawn in them. However, for some reason I am getting lines from different networks that aren't crossing my sample line. The purple pipe is a storm pipe and the green is the sewer. The blue lines you see are water lines, but shouldn't be on this section view.

I would like to show a pipe network structure on my section view. The catch- the structure is 10' away from my sample line. Is there any way to project structures onto section views? C3D 2011

I can't remember how to change a pipe end section type. I have concrete and want a metal one. I right click and went to swap part, but the metal end section is not listed. The block is fine; all I need to do is to change the material type in the callout. I am using the C3D flared end section with modified text in the callout. Where to I go to change the definition?

Is it possible to label a pipe crossing offset in section view dynamically? I see there are options to label start offset and end offset, but not at the actual crossing.

C3D 2009. I have a style that labels the pipe diameter in section view and the type of pipe. When I label the pipe everything shows up fine. Save the drawing and re-open and my labels are gone. I can see them when is opening but after it regenerates, gone. All layers are on display set to true. Tried too many different things and no success. This issue only happens in two drawings.

In 2011 the pipe network cross section labels had to be exploded or they would disappear once you closed the drawing (even with saving).
In 2012 can you close and open a drawing and have the labels not disappear?

Noticed this in R2013? Not bothering to check with 2014 yet as I don't really use it.I have three vports. TL is Profile view, TR is SV and other is 3d.
There seems to be slight difference between the pipes in the profile/sections compared with the Structure pipe crossing.
All styles are set for External walls, when swapped to internal this is still incorrect. All pipes are same size & part and are Horizontal. Sections / alignment is taken along centre of pipework.

As mentioned in my topic before, I have recently reverted to Max 2008.
I am doing a bit of Unwrapping, however I am missing the unwrap spline tool found in the Unwrap UVW modifier in more recent versions of max.
Does this exist in 08?

Here's something that should be simple, I want to create a template for cutting a square hole 125 mm on a side.
I have gone into Drawing Utilities and set the units to millimeters. I drew a square 125 units on a side.
In paper space, I selected a template that is 11" X 17". I set the scale to 1:1. I thought that that would give me a sheet I could print out ledger size with a 125mm square drawn on it, but no, it is not even close. As near as I can figure, the square is 125" on a side in paper space.
