circumference.

[ENTER] to
confirm the choice, or
• Move the prompt to the OD X PI (circumference) text box. Type
the OD (in mm or in.) into the box, and press
[ENTER] to confirm
your choice.

If you select a material that has the Schedule option:

you enter the parameters for the Diameter alternative as discussed
above.)

size drop-down menu. Press
[ENTER] to open the menu. Scroll to
the desired pipe size, and press

menu. Press
[ENTER] to open the menu. Scroll to the desired
