Editing a Routing Sub-assembly

You can edit a route sub-assembly 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.

To edit the route sketch and modify the route:

1. 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.

2. Select a route sub-assembly from the list.

The selected route sub-assembly highlights in the graphics area.

3. Click .

The route sketch of the selected route sub-assembly opens.

4. As you drag segments in the sketch, the route segment updates to reflect the changes. When you exit the sketch, the sub-assembly rebuilds.
