Modifying engineered pipe supports in AP

[Admin Newby]

Does anyone know the method and the relevant files (ie. ebs, ini files) that you would need to change when you want to make new pipe support types from existing ones?

1. Go to ...\Program Files\Bentley\Plant 2004\modules\Base\
2. Find Class.ini, Methods.ini
3. For example, find 'AT_SUPPORT_UBOLT' in Class.ini, then you can see 'METHOD_KEY=AT_SUPPORT_UBOLT', then find 'AT_SUPPORT_UBOLT' in Methods.ini, you can see 'DRAW_METHOD = %APP_DIR%\Draw\SupUBolt ; at_Support_drawUBolt', then you can go to ...\Program Files\Bentley\Plant 2004\modules\Base\piping\draw\, find SupUBlt.ebs, open it, you can find the support's draw function named 'at_Support_drawUBolt'.
