9. USE OF AUTOMATIC HYDRAULIC LABELS

[jovivier]

Previously we covered labeling items on your IRRICAD plan and tips to help make using Labels easier and quicker (Tip of the Week #2 and #3). This week we will share tips about hydraulic labels - used to label pipes, valves, outlets, water supplies and pumps with pressure, flow or velocity.

Tip #1: If hydraulic labels are generated before Design is run then the nominal flow will be shown or, if a pressure or velocity label, N/A will appear. When generated or updated after Design the actual flows, pressures and velocities will be used in the labels.

Tip #2: When labeling pipes with flow or velocity, uncheck the “Combine Pipe Labels” check box as each pipe segment can potentially have a different flow and velocity. If “Combine Pipe Labels” is enabled stars will appear in the label.

Tip #3: Some keywords will work on Irrigation Block Entities only. A list of Irrigation Block Entity keywords is provided in the Technical Reference, Appendix I, found in Help|Help Topics.

We have included a pdf for you to download and use as a reference to help with where and when to use these hydraulic labels. The keywords in the list are colour coded to help show which group of items they will work with, for example Mainline only. The types of items the keywords can be used with are displayed by a Y in the ‘type’ columns.
