What it does
Pipefection sizes heating-cooling, fire-fighting, service-water and wastewater pipelines in AutoCAD using configurable pipe-sizing tables. It supports custom layers, text, blocks, diameter labels and dimension-label formats. Pipe loads can come from block attributes or fixed values, with diversity-factor formulas available for selected total-load ranges. The add-in can calculate quantities, export results to Excel and create pipe lists from equipment to the starting point.
Key capabilities
from the Autodesk App Store listingCustom sizing tables
Pipefection sizes different pipeline types using user-adjusted pipe-sizing tables.
Drawing settings
The add-in supports custom layer, text and block settings in drawings.
Load value handling
Load values can be read from block attributes or entered as fixed values.
Diversity formulas
Users can define diversity-factor formulas for specified ranges of total-load values.
Pipe labels
Diameter and total-load labels can be positioned and aligned, with diameter dimensions available as Mleader or Mtext.
Multi-floor layouts
The add-in supports multiple floors, floor copying, and isometric or 3D work.
Quantity export
Pipe quantities and pipe lists can be generated and exported to Excel.
Pipe relationship tracking
Pipefection retains the association between pipes and labels and removes a dimension label when its pipe is deleted.
Use cases
- A fan-coil pipeline can use load values taken from equipment block attributes.
- Separate floors can be defined and copied when working on multi-floor pipeline drawings.
- Small gaps between pipe ends can be joined by increasing the Node Effective Area.
