2. Click a plus (+) sign next to pipe support.

3. Click the actual data table.

   Some of the components do not have all properties specified. If a property is not listed for a pipe support, then that support does not use the property. In the list below, some descriptions contain specific support names because they are only available with those supports.

Show Optional

Specifies how the variable length can be selected in the Pipe Support Data dialog box. This property appears under the Component Table list, but is unique to the PipeSupport data table. For more information on the Pipe Support Data dialog box, see Support Modeler Palette in the CADWorx Plant Users Guide.

• 0

Specifies that the components in the Pipe Support Data dialog box use the default data in the Data Table.
