About Nominal Size Management for Reducers

Propagation Rules

The rules for the propagation of the nominal size attribute for reducers are as follows:

• If the reducer is inserted at the end of a route, the nominal size of the route is propagated to the reducer.
• If the reducer is inserted on a route then both of its ports is updated with the nominal size of the route.
• If the reducer is inserted at the end of a route that is connected to a component, the reducer’s multiport size is updated according to the connect objects.
• If a pipe or part is connected to a reducer using Connect Symbols, the attributes of the reducer are the same as the connected pipe or parts.
• If a route connected to a reducer is to be merged and is selected as a second selection during the Merge Route, this connected route is deleted and the reducer is connected to the first selected route. The reducer nominal size is updated.
• If a newly created route starts from a reducer or ends with a reducer, its attribute is propagated to the connected reducer.

Modifying Nominal Size

If the attributes of a pipe and parts connected to a reducer are changed by editing its properties or using the Spreadsheet, the attributes of the reducer are automatically updated.

Nominal size of a reducer can be edited using Propagate Nominal Size Attribute and to always remain synchronized with connected objects.
