Overlay a Pipe Coupling onto a Pipe Element
The procedure below is simply a recommendation. There are many workflows you can use to combine the two elements.
- You have one or more Pipe elements drawn on the canvas.
- Draw a Pipe Coupling on the canvas. (Add the usual crosshair info.)
- Format the Pipe Coupling element according the existing Pipe element.
- Color, diameter, Scale Factor, Transparency, etc.
- Drag the Pipe Coupling element to the required position over the existing Pipe element.
- Use the Up, Down, Right, and Left keyboard arrows to move the Pipe Coupling element until it is perfectly aligned and in position on top of the Pipe element.
- (Optional) To bind the two elements together so they do not separate during further engineering of the graphic:
a. Press CTRL and then select both the Pipe Coupling and the Pipe element.
b. Right click on the selection, and from the context menu, select Group.
