	Here is the opening form of Pipe Designer 1.2 full version program.
	Clic on "Compute Pipe" to compute the dimension of your pipe according to your engine specification. The results appeares in the edit boxes below.
	Clic on "Save" to save your parameters and computed data to a text file.
	Here is a sample of saved data to the text file.
	Clic on "Pipe Designer " in order to setup the neutral fiber of your pipe.
	The 2D path is computed using 8 different subpath from 0 to 7. Each subpath is setup using 2 parameters : "Radius" and "Angle" (angle !!). If the angle is set to 0 then the subpath is considered as a line. The experimental length edit box should turn to green when the experimental length is above 97% of theoretical length. The "L exp" Edit box turns to GREEN and then clic OK. Tip : Set the subpath 7 to L67 value from main form and then adjust the orthers.
	Your parameters are saved in a text file.
	Here is a sample of 2D pipe shape.
	The 2D pipe template is saved in a DXF file. On main form, clic on "Ouvre CAD Viewer" to chose your DXF view and open it to view the result.
	Clic "Open CAD Viewer" to configure the path to the CAD program in our case A9CAD from A9Tech.
	Browse your hard disk to find the CAD Viewer exe file and clic "Open"
	When you CAD software is opened, select "Open" file icon or menu
	Select de DXF format not the DWG one.
	Chose the file to be opened.
	File is opened but drawing not visible so select Zoom All icon to automatically center the drawing in the client rectangle of the window.
	Here is a view of DXF file in A9CAD software.
	Clic on "DXF Model" to save the straight pipe in a DXF file
	Chose your file name in the save as window.
	Here is a view of the pipe model DXF file in A9CAD software.
	Clic "DXF Hydroformage" to compute and save the template for hydroforming of the pipe in a DXF file.
	Here is a sample of Hydroforming DXF
