  1. To create the pipe style you are after,
    1. Create a new pipe style
    2. On the "Information" tab, give it a suitable name
    3. On the "Plan" tab, - in "Pipe wall sizes", select "Use part dimensions"
    - in "Pipe centerline options" select "Specify width" and choose "Draw to outer walls"
    - ensure "Clean up pipe to pipe connections" is ticked.
    4. On the "Display" tab, - select "Plan" from the "View Direct:" drop down.
    - set "Pipe Centreline" and "Outside Pipe Walls" to visible
    - set "Pipe Centreline" Linetype to "DASHED2" with a LT Scale of "0.5"
    - set "Outside Pipe Walls" Linetype to "Continuous"

    Modify the settings on the Profile and Section tabs and the Profile, Section and Model View Directions as required.

    This will create a pipe style that will display in plan view a continuous line down the outsides of the pipe and a dashed line down the centre that widens out to width the edge of the pipe width no matter the pipe size.

  2. Not sure that I know of any tutorials of that sort. I have used them in demos, webinars, and for AU. Andrew's comment is how I do it.

  3. Thanks guys

    Andrew pointed me in the right direction. I did not need the line to be the full pipe width just a 2mm thick line. You can choice line thickness as an option in the same location that Andrew mentioned.
