drawn, it correponds to the lower center of the pipe
ND - The nominal diameter of the tee. This value along with the pipe schedule is used to determine other actual dimensions of the tee.
EN- The enumerated pipe schedule type. Each schedule of pipe is represented by a specific number within our code.
Pipelength - the length of the pipe
Inputs Defined within Pipe Database
Pipeinr - The outer radius of the main pipe, defined by outerradius(ND)
Pipeour - The inner radius of the main pipe, defined by innerD(ND,ED)/2
Inputs Defined within the Pipe Function
p2 =
- x : origin0 + pipeoutr
- y : origin1
- z : origin2
p3 =
- x : origin0 + pipeinr
- y : origin1
- z : origin2
win1 =
- x : origin0 - pipeoutr - zc
- y : origin1 - pipeoutr - zc
- z : origin2
win2 =
- x : origin0 + pipeoutr + zc
- y : origin1 + pipeoutr + zc
- z : origin2
Pipeouinr is the outer radius of the pipe, found from the pipe database using the outer diameter function
Pipeoutr is the outer radius of the pipe, found from the pipe database using the outerradius function
Note: zc corresponds to the zoom constant used within AutoCAD and created in the basics file that is referenced by the pipe program.

zoomwin- zooms on a window space directly around where the pipe is to be draw (as shown above - actual window size relative to pipe that is to be drawn). The points win1 and win2 are used to select this window size, based on including the space of the pipe (the outer radius) and a zoom constant (zc) to ensure the entire drawing will be within the frame.
