Save Drip Outlet

Saves the selected drip outlet as a red symbol definition in the active file; this would typically be done for a custom drip outlet, or an outlet with modified catalog data

Drip Outlet Name

Names the object, which is useful for labels, irrigation schedules, and other worksheets

Note

Adds a note about the object, which is useful for labels, irrigation schedules, and other worksheets, and also for making notes when saving red symbol definitions

Drip Outlet Type

Indicates either Drip Line or Drip Area for the type of drip outlet

Configuration

(Drip area)

Select the drip area configuration:

●    Snaking: Calculates the drip area as one continuous line with one start and end point

●    Branching: Calculates the drip area as several lines that branch out to fill the area; this configuration will not generate “Exceeds Max Line Length at Pressure” warnings. Because the drip area’s layout cannot be determined exactly, calculated values are approximate.

●    Custom: Allows the Input Pressure and Flow values to be manually entered, for situations when the expected pressure and flow values are already known by the designer; this configuration will not generate “Exceeds Max Line Length at Pressure” warnings

Length

(Drip line)

For drip lines, provides the length of drip line required

Row Spacing

(Drip area)

Sets the spacing between the rows of drip lines within the drip area.

For the Custom drip area Configuration, this value is for reporting purposes only and is not used for calculations.

Estimated Length

(Drip area - Snaking)

Displays the estimated length of drip line required for the area

Override Estimated Length (total tubing)

(Drip area - Snaking)

Changes the estimated length of total drip tubing to a different value

Length

(Drip area - Snaking)

Enter the override value for the length of tubing required

Est. Avg. Line Length

(Drip area - Branching)

Displays the estimated average length of each branch of drip tubing in the configuration

Use Default Trench Depth

Uses the default trench depth specified in the irrigation settings; deselect to enter the trench depth manually

Trench Depth

Displays the default trench depth, for informational purposes; when Use Default Trench Depth is deselected, enter the trench depth

Display in Drawing

Select either Design Information or Calculated Information to affect the display of all calculated values and coverage zones in the drawing; see Concept: Design and Calculation Parameters for Irrigation 

Design Information

Input Pressure

Specifies the optimal input pressure for the drip outlet to perform as designed

Enter this value manually for the Custom drip area Configuration.

Flow

Displays the drip outlet’s calculated flow rate based on the design Input Pressure. If you are modifying catalog data, this becomes editable.

Enter this value manually for the Custom drip area Configuration.

Calculated Information

Input Pressure

Displays the input pressure based on the entire system’s calculated parameters

Flow

Displays the flow rate based on the entire system’s calculated parameters

Catalog Data

Get From Catalog

Opens the Catalog dialog box, for obtaining catalog data for the selected object (typically, this is for adding catalog data to a custom object that has none). See Concept: Using the Irrigation Catalog.

Data

Displays the catalog data

Modify Catalog Data

Makes the data fields editable; modify the data, which can then be saved as a custom entry in the catalog

Save In Catalog

Opens the Catalog Item Edit dialog box, where the custom data can be further edited and then added to the catalog

Graphics

Show Drip Lines

(Drip area)

Represents the drip area as a set of parallel lines; deselect the option to use the Fill Style from the Attributes palette instead

Attach Tag/Label

Automatically attaches a Tag/Label object to the object. The last selected tag/label for the object type is applied; click the tag/label to edit its properties (see Adding Labels to Irrigation Objects).

Show Pressure

Places a pressure label on the drawing

Show Flow

Places a flow rate label on the drawing

Vertex parameters

Edits the vertices of the path object that the drip outlet is based upon; see Editing Vertex-Based Objects
