Remove Pipe or Tube

You can remove pipe or tube segments from between fittings using the Remove Pipe or Remove Tube function. The sketched line of the route segment is shortened to the length required to position the fittings as if they were back-to-back. The line is constrained to this length to ensure that the fittings stay together. There is actually a gap of 0.002mm (although no pipe or tube is created) between the two fittings.

Alternatively, you can place fittings back-to-back when you add them to a route. For example, you can attach an elbow to an elbow or a tee to a tee without a pipe or tube in between. (Flange-to-flange connections are not supported.)

To remove piping or tubing between fittings:

  1. In the FeatureManager design tree, expand the route assembly .

  2. Right-click Route and select Edit route.

  3. In the graphics area, right-click the sketched line for the route segment to be removed and select Remove Pipe or Remove Tube.

    The pipe or tube is removed.

Select the pipe or tube segment to be removed
