PIPES BASIC HELP
================

Pipes Wizard is a nice example of GraphWorX drawing capabilities
(thick lines, subsymbol and line editing) combined with the power 
of VBA scripting.

To start with new pipe system, the easiest way is to duplicate
a current pipe object. Place the duplicate symbol anywhere and 
double click it to invoke the configuration Wizard.

A Pipes Wizard window appears, allowing configuration of the color
and even editting of the pipe paths.  The Wizard dialog closes and you are in GraphWorX inside
the symbol.  We call the edit capabilities inside symbol 'Subsymbol editing'.

You are free to modify the symbol, add new objects and delete old 
ones, but be careful when deleting objects - the number of objects 
in symbol can NOT fall under TWO (if there is only one object in the 
symbol, the symbol is converted into object. This operation is 
desired in other cases but here it would destroy the SmartPipe object 
capabilities)

Another way how to make a symbol SmartPipe is to copy content of 
CustomData of Property Inspector of existing SmartPipe, and paste it 
into the same field in your symbol.

Note that you can enter the Subsymbol Editing by shift + right_click, 
or by right_click popup menu EditSymbol, and leave it by pressing Esc 
or double click outside the symbol. The same way you can edit vertices 
of arcs, lines and polylines.

The thickness of pipes is right now done by max. GraphWorX line width
(10). This number can be easily increased to allow wider pipes. Also
note that the pipe width is constant even if the pipe symbol is 
scaled. The reason is simple - line width is not scaled during 
resize of the object (which is desired feature of drawing editor).

Note that the Pipes symbol works as two-state object - once you can 
edit the control lines and once edit properties of the 3D symbol.
                                                                  
                                                             Have fun.
