“Size
Units CFG” This will allow you to set individual units display
selections and BOM units representation for each pipe/fitting type:
Figure 2.1.3.1
For example, you can select to display some pipe/fittings type in different
units than that set by the general Mech-Q Units selection.
First you need to set the toggle: “Use same units as Mech-Q Units CFG”
OFF – Then select the pipe/fitting type you want to change (for example:
“Butt Welded” – and use the “Edit” button to change to Metric or English
units as you require – Use the “Replace” button to set this units selection.
BOM Options
“BOM On” toggle – Only turn BOM toggle off if the Bill of materials (BOM)
is not required. Items drawn while the “BOM On” toggle is off will not
include BOM data attributes.
NOTE
The “BOM CFG” tab will start the Piping BOM CFG dialogue
(See Item 2.4.1) and “BOM Desc. Text” This starts the Piping BOM Descriptions editor
(Please refer to the Mech-Q Users Manual for details on how to use the Piping BOM
Descriptions editor).
