Thanks to all of the help from here we have come to a resolution. We have added a table of segments and bends to the drawing to defign the pipe. The drawign views are just pretty pictures for the reader to help visualize the finished pipe, with a few dimensions to give orientation with the...
Thank you for the comments so far, they have helped a lot. Is there any way to place a view on a drawing that is not a projection or auxillary view of an exsisting view? Can I defign or name the view so the reader knows where it comes from, or do all views have to have visual orientation to a...
There is already an XYZ coordinate system on the draft for the CNC bender, but this doesn't help the guy who has to inspect the pipe. I want to put down the dimension that he can measure with out getting out his calculator.
I am trying to dimention pipes that are to be bent on a CNC bender and have troubles getting the true angle of the bend. To get the true angle you need both legs of the bend on the plane of the paper. If the pipe has multiple complex bends then is is very dificult to get both legs on the...
