Pipe ​

A two-tone process pipe drawn as a polyline, with optional animated flow.

In Studio ​

Drawn with the pipe tool rather than added from the Components panel. On a view whose root is a Coordinate Container, choose the Draw / Edit Pipe Nodes tool on the toolbar, pick Simple Pipe in the pipe-type menu beside it, then click on the canvas to place each corner. The tool is unavailable on flex views and in Preview.

When to use ​

Use the pipe drawing tool's Simple Pipe for standard process piping on a mimic diagram. For a plain P&ID schematic line, use P&ID Line; for a more detailed pipe with fittings, use Mimic Pipe.

Binding ​

This component has no single value binding.

No value binding — Flow Enabled and the other flow properties can themselves be bound to a tag to reflect real process flow state.
