| Automatically route on drop of flanges/connectors. |
Select to automatically create a route subassembly and start a route when a routing component such as a flange, tube fitting, or electrical connector is dropped into an assembly.
|
| Automatically route on drop of clips. |
For flexible tubes and electrical cables. Select to automatically generate a spline from the current route end through a drag-and-drop clip when the clip is placed in a route.
|
| Always use default document template for routes. |
When selected, the software automatically uses the default template specified in the Routing Template field in Routing File Locations. When cleared, the software asks you to specify a template whenever a route assembly is created.
|
| Automatically create sketch fillets. |
Automatically add fillets at intersections as you sketch. The fillet radius is based on the selected elbow part, bend radius, or maximum cable diameter. This option applies only to 3D sketches that are used as paths of routing assemblies.
|
| Automatically add dimensions to route stubs. |
Dimensions the length of the stubs that extend from connectors or fittings to ensure that these route segments update correctly when the connectors or fittings are moved.
|
| Enable route error checking. |
In addition to standard error checking, checks routes for the following errors and flags affected items with  in the FeatureManager design tree and What’s Wrong dialog box.
In piping and tubing routes:
- Missing elbows. Detects missing or deleted fillets and arcs.
- Missing constraints. Detects missing or deleted constraints at tees, crosses, etc.
- Misaligned reducers. Detects misaligned route property values at reducers.
In electrical routes: - Minimum bend radius violations.
|
| Display error balloons. (Available only when Enable route error checking is selected.) |
Displays error messages where you can click How do I fix this? for detailed suggestions for fixing the error.
|
| Include coverings in the Bill of Materials. |
Includes coverings in BOMs for routing assemblies.
|
| Save route assembly externally. |
Saves route assembly as an external file. Clear to save the route as a virtual component, instead.
|
| Save route parts externally. |
Saves routing components as an external file. Clear to save components as a virtual component, instead.
|
| Use automatic naming for route parts. |
When selected, the software automatically assigns names for route parts. When cleared, the software asks you to enter a name whenever a route part or assembly is created.
|
| Use triad to position and orient components. |
Displays the triad every time you place a route component or part. |
| Component rotation increment (degrees). |
You can rotate elbows, tees, and crosses during placement by holding down Shift and pressing the left and right arrow keys. Select a value for the rotation increment in degrees.
|
| Text size for connection and route points. |
Scales text for connection and route points to a fraction of the document's note font. At the bottom of the size range, the text disappears but you can still select the points.
