Changing the Flow Direction

This task shows you how to change the flow direction.

1. With the flow direction displayed, as explained in Displaying Flow Direction, select the Reverse Flow on Selected Element checkbox in the Flow Options dialog box.

2. Click one of the flow direction arrows so that it points in the direction you want. In the image below, the flow direction of the last arrow changes.

3. Click the Follow Flow of Selected Element checkbox in the Flow Options dialog box and then click the flow direction arrow again. All parts connected to it (in the range that you selected) will change flow direction to the same direction as the selected arrow.

The flow direction will not change in a tee, or beyond a tee, even though it is connected and within your selected range.

If the flow capability was defined when a part was built, you will not be able to change its flow direction using this command.
