XS_​TUBE_​UNWRAP_​PAPER_​THICKNESS

Category in Advanced options dialog in Advanced options: Drawing properties

This advanced option lengthens unfolded tubes by the following multiplication factor:

factor = 1.0+2*XS_TUBE_UNWRAP_PAPER_THICKNESS/diameter

The default value is 0.0.

Note:

If the advanced option XS_TUBE_UNWRAP_WITH_CUT_HOLES is set to TRUE, this advanced option has no effect.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database. Reopen the model to activate the new value.

Example

Tube d=219

When you set the advanced option to 0, the unwrapped length of the tube (1.0*PI*diameter) = 688.

When the advanced option is set to 10, the length of the unfolded tube = factor * diameter* PI = (1.0 + 2*10/219) * 219 * 3.14 = 751
