The Route Exports PropertyManager appears when you export piping and tubing bend data. The PropertyManager controls these properties:
Route Assemblies
Select Route Assembly Components  |
Select the route assembly for which you want to generate bend data tables.
|
Options
| Start at origin |
When selected, data starts with the first point (0, 0, 0) at the route assembly origin. When cleared, data starts with the first point (0, 0, 0) at the start of the tube.
|
| Data format |
- Pipe data (pcf). Export piping and tubing data as a PCF file, for use in other piping applications such as ISOGEN™. Select Millimeters or Inches for unit of measure.
- For the PCF file to be processed correctly in ISOGEN™, fittings must have a custom property named IsogenSkey to define the fitting type (for example FLWN for a weld-neck flange, or FLSW for a socket-weld flange). See Adding Isogen Data to Fittings for a list of additional custom properties that you can optionally assign to fittings.
- The SOLIDWORKS/ISOGEN interface does not support formed bends. Pipes and tubes containing formed bends are omitted from the PCF file, which might cause disconnect errors when read into ISOGEN.
- Tube bend tables. Create bend data tables for route assemblies that use tubing or pipes with bends. Select Tangent points or Intersection points for points in the model to define the bends.

File Format (for bend tables only)
| Select one: |
- Text only. An ASCII text file with a table of bend data.
- Plain html. An html file with the bend data, plus an ASCII text file with the bend data.
- Graphical html. An html file with a graphical header, plus an ASCII text file with the bend data.
|
| Create header page |
Available for html files. Creates a file with data such as file name, units, intersection point data, and so on.
|
| Create images |
Available only for Graphical html file type. Creates a .jpg image of the assembly.
|
| Comma delimited |
Adds commas between values in the ASCII text file.
