Problem:
After importing a CESAR file into AutoPIPE, pressing the toolbar button "Show Pipe Properties" does not have an option to view "ALL" Pipe identifiers. Did the import corrupt the program?:
Solution:
No, the program is functioning correctly. Sounds like you are using a newer version of the application. There is a new tool called "Show Options" used for viewing the different settings applied to a model ie. Pipe Properties, Press, Temp, Pipe Insulation, Hydrodynamic data, Weight, Connected segments, etc...
Use the Tool bar button "Show Pipe Properties" to see information on a specific "Pipe Identifier".
or
Use View> Show Options> drop down to see color plots with many more dynamic features to review data in a model.
Whenever upgrading to a new version of the application, please review the "readme_autopipe.htm" file located in the application folder,"C:\Bentley\AutoPIPE Selectseries", for very valuable information about the new version. In addition, see AutoPIPE Help> AutoPIPE News> settings , enable Bentley Releases & Bentley AutoPIPE options, press Refresh Button, search for the release notice of a particular version, at the bottom of the posting is a URL to a web page with more details about a release.
