    Merge Pipe Runs tool should merge non colinear segments

    Currently in OPPID the Merge Pipe Runs tool only merges colinear segments. See attached video of how you need to workaround the limitation. It would be helpful if the Merge Pipe Runs tool could merge non-colinear segments as well. By enhancing thi...

    Automatically reposition flow arrows to avoid overlapping inline components

    In situations where the flow arrow overlaps a component on the pipeline it would be nice if the software would automatically reposition the flow arrow to avoid the overlap if possible. If there is insufficient space to display the flow arrow it wo...

    Flanged Reducers with variable pipe lengths

    Please can we have the ability to automatically add flanges to reducer if the END_COND are set to FL. This function already exist, but it only allows for equal pipe lengths as it takes the full length-reducer length and the splitting the differenc...

    Control Over Flow Arrow Size

    We need to be able to control the scale of the flow arrow so it can be placed on small section of pipe. ATM is places it out in space if the section is too small.

    Actuator orientation for Relief Valve (Angle Valve)

    The idea would be to be able to change the direction of the actuator when we place it on relief Valve (Angle Valve). For the moment actuator is placed aligned to the axis of the valve exit, but in real life it will be aligned to the axis of the va...

    Ability to Have two Instrument Parametric Annotation With Bubble

    In some cases, an instrument device has two different Performance styles (local panel and Distributed Control System). This means we need to be able to place two Instrument Parametrics (bubbles) with the same code.

    Would like ability to rotate elongated Instrument Bubbles in the vertical direction to save design space

    As a piping designer, I use elongated shaped instrument bubbles and sometimes need to rotate them in the vertical direction to save drafting space and fit them in between pipelines. It would be nice to have a way of changing this to the vertical d...

    Would like the ability to pass a pipe run property value to a property on a valve class

    Story Narrative As a piping designer, I would like the ability to define a custom PROPERTY_X1 on Pipe Run class to pass its values to PROPERTY_X2 on Valve class component, but only as default value and only for first time. The goal is for the targ...

    Add support to connect duct bank to manholes in a referenced DGN file

    Currently, BRCM does not support duct bank connections to manholes that are referenced in from another Underground file. It's very common to have multiple underground files in a project, and manholes need to support connections to these duct banks...
