Hello to all,
I am a new user of this software. I would like to get an advice on creating piping turns, lets say, standard turns, 30, 45, 60. Somehow I have not being able to find how to specify an angle. It looks like I can use delta dimensions but the COS is not working well for me for some reason. If you respond, please give an example of a simple turn using deltas and COS.
Thank you.

You code into the tangent intersection (TI) then define the next element from the TI to the next node. You may have a pipe inthe X direction before the elbow then 45 degrees up ....

say pipe is 6" nominal

X=1000mm from previous node to bend TI
Bend radius = long or define as 229mm
X=500, Y=500

Will give you a 45deg elbow.

Voila !
