Pipe
This section describes the properties and events of the simple pipe line object.
This object is normally used to create layouts of piping systems with the dynamic representation of the fluid flowing inside.
How to insert a pipe
The method of inserting the pipe differs from the standard previously defined.
Once selected in the toolbar, the first click on the page identifies the starting point of the pipe.
The next click identifies the end of the first segment and so on until the complete drawing of the pipe.
The final double click completes the editing of the object and releases the control.
