pipe support units whose label number is in the specified range. This option is

13. Choose Process Drawings Continuously Without Break
to indicate that if
there are more selected supports than the number of drawing forms in the active
drawing, all the selected supports are processed continuously with no break.
If this option is chosen, then once all the drawing forms in the active drawing
are filled up, the graphics data in the active drawing are sent to the printer or
plotter device or stored in the specified diskfile as needed, the active drawing is
deleted, a new drawing is activated from the same form part drawing and it
continues to process the remaining selected supports. Once all the drawing
forms in the active drawing are filled up, by default this option prompts you to
type ok before activating the next drawing and continue the processing of the
remaining selected supports.
