We will be using Cadlink in the future, so this has to be usable in this software, along with ERP software used for purchasing and issuing material requisitions to our manufacturing shop.

I want to know if I can draw the insulation as linear feet and get a report showing the square footage needed of both insulation thicknesses, showing both part numbers. Both 5mm and 10mm thick insulation have different part numbers. 529 square feet of 10mm thick insulation for 1/2" pipe with an O.D. 323 square feet of 5mm thick insulation and. 323 square feet of 5mm thick insulation on a 1/2" pipe with an O.D. We have calculated the square feet required in every pipe and insulation combination in an excel spreadsheet. We purchase some of our insulation in square feet thicknesses of 5mm and 10mm increments. The company I work for is engineered pipe services company. We are currently using CadWorx 2018 along with Autocad 2018.

Use the table at the end of this topic to determine the scale factor to use. The units that you select determine the unit of measurement that each unit in your drawing represents. Various imperial and metric units are available. Scale the drawing for which you changed the drawing units. Specifying default units options for the current drawing Under Drawing Units, select the desired units.Select the specific metric unit from the list.
