Almost all end fittings in an electrical route are driving. However, end fittings for pipe or tube routes, can be either driving and driven.
When you add a new fitting to a route, its drive state is set automatically. The states are:
- If you drop a fitting to start the route, the state is a driving.
- If you drop a fitting in the graphics area or to the end of a pipe line while editing a route, the state is driven.
- If you drop a fitting that is mated to other geometry, using SmartMates or mate references, the state is driving.
A driving fitting is controlled by the assembly. You can use mates and other commands to move, rotate, and orient the component. The sketch geometry and route, that are connected to the driving fitting, automatically adjust to the component.
A driven fitting is controlled by the route sketch. It is attached to the geometry in the sketch. To move the component, you must edit the sketch geometry.
