Converting Lines and Polylines to Pipe

Creating pipe objects from lines and polylines is simplified using the Convert Lines and Polylines to Pipe button on the CAD toolbar (Classic View) or Convert Lines and Polylines to Pipe, in the Drawing Tools list, in the Picture group, on the Format tab (Ribbon view). Create the required lines and polylines, or select existing lines and polylines, then convert them to pipes.

The new pipe object inherits the property values, animation settings, and VBA scripts from the original line/polyline object. The pipe-specific properties have the default values configured in the User Preferences dialog box. You can change the pipe-specific properties using the Modify Pipe Characteristics dialog box.

The following diagrams show examples of converting lines and polylines to pipes.
