Specifies sizes of connecting pipelines from tag values rather than from the pipe sizes specified in the connecting components. You specify pipe size of a connecting routing component in the component connection point definition. When a component has multiple connection points, values for the FromEquipPort or ToEquipPort elements are also used to identify the component size. |
