Routing points are essential to starting and guiding your route subassemblies. There are several types of routing points.
Contents
A sketch point is required to locate the connection point.
A route point is a point in a fitting (flange, elbow, electrical connector, and so on) that is used to position the fitting at an intersection or endpoint in the 3D sketch.
The Connection Point PropertyManager appears when you create a connection point in a routing fitting (flange, elbow, electrical connector, etc.).
Certain types of fittings, for example tees and crosses, can have multiple connection points (CPoints), but not all points need to be included in a route.
You use a design table to control the dimensions in the configurations of the fittings. In addition, use the design table to control the parameters of the CPoints for each configuration.
When you drag a routing component with multiple CPoints to create a route, you can select CPoints to include in the route from the Multiple CPoints dialog box, provided the component is set up for multiple CPoint selection.
