Editing a Route Subassembly
You can edit a route subassembly in several ways:
-
Edit the route sketch to modify the path of the route segments.
-
Change the diameter of a route.
-
Add fittings while editing the route sketch.
-
Perform segment to segment penetration.
-
Create custom pipe configurations for selected segments.
-
Remove pipe or tube between fittings to create fitting-to-fitting connections.
In general, you should edit route sub-assemblies in the context of the top-level assembly.

-
Click one of the following:
-
Edit Existing Piping Route (Piping toolbar) or Routing, Piping, Edit Existing Piping Route.

Edit Existing Flex Tube Route (Flexible Tube toolbar) or Routing, Flexible Tubing, Edit Existing Flex Tube Route.

Edit Existing Route (Electrical toolbar) or Routing, Electrical, Edit Existing Route.
The Edit Route PropertyManager appears. All route sub-assemblies of the type you specified (Piping, Flexible Tube, or Electrical) appear in Assembly File Name.

Select a route sub-assembly from the list.
The selected route sub-assembly highlights in the graphics area.
