Graphical Point Editing

Caesar users are used to looking at the model, then reading and entering the point name. In AutoPIPE like CAD use point and click, point names are automatically taken care of.

Productivity Example - Add a Support

AutoPIPE	Caesar
Click on the Support Point Select Support Type (Friction & Gaps)	Look at the Graphic Plot & Read Point Name Go to the data sheet Click on the Restraint Option Enter the Point Name Select Support Type (Friction & Gaps)
2 way gaps permitted all supports Guide - Both Horiz. + Vertical	Only 1 gap permitted 2 supports required for Guide + Y
