Automated Offset

This section describes the Automated Offset tables and how you can customize it.

This page discusses:

Overview

This section provides a brief overview of the Automated Offset tables.

The Automated Offset table defines the parameters when using the Automated Offset command. For more information see, Creating an Automated Offset.

In Data Setup, this table should be assigned to:

  • when using file-based tables, the Automated Offset item in the resource table of Piping/Tubing Design Resources.
  • when using Engineering Specification objects, a specification in the resource table of Piping/Tubing Specification Resources.

Table Description

This section describes the customization options of the Automated Offset tables.

Sample Resource File

This section explains where to find the sample resource file.

The default location of XXX_XXX_AutomatedOffset.xls is

..\startup\EquipmentAndSystems\Piping\Specification\

and then the relevant specification, such as SS150R.
