Plane versus Isometrics view modes When plotting components using Plane views. when inserting a flange to a pipe. the process is simplified for connecting components to appropriate valued objects. and menu commands have a command name that you can type in the command line. When the rules are set to Automatic. Most of the components are built to work as smart objects. however some commands are ideally designed for working in 3D mode versus working in 2D mode. You can turn the compass on and off in Setup (on page 28). 3D Modeling versus 2D Modeling The CADWorx option for working in 3D modeling and 2D modeling is set up in the CADWorx Plant Setup dialog box. if both have the same size and specification you are not prompted and the flange inserts automatically. You are also provided with the option to change the color. Compass Enables 360 degree navigation for placement of components. For more information. If you change sizes while working with a component. All commands in the following sections are based off the isometrics view for all modes of modeling. the selected component prompts you if unable to derive information from the surrounding components due to the piping rules. see Apply Flange Insertion Rule (on page 51) or all other Piping Rules (on page 49). 370 CADWorx Plant User's Guide .Toolbars Aliases and Command Names Ribbon.

When the compass is turned on the screen displays a circle around the components when they are pulled into the drawing space. If selecting a component from a palette or toolbar. You can use the commands as needed. you may not receive prompts based on the actions of connection to components. This is based on the directional limitations of those views. In addition. A command alias is an abbreviation that you type at the command line instead of typing the entire command name. but in 3D modeling some of the commands better suited for 2D have the same response as those better suited for 3D.
