- In the 3D sketch, the straight run for a tee must consist of two separate segments, not one continuous segment (because two segments of pipe or tube must be created for the straight run).
- The straight runs for crosses must also be separate segments.
- The number of sketch lines at the intersection can be less than the number of ports in the fitting you want to insert. Insert and align the fitting as desired, then add the remaining sketch segments later.
- You can create an axis in a fitting, such as a valve, to control the angular orientation of the fitting in a route sub-assembly. This axis must be named Vertical, and the axis must be perpendicular to the route passing through the fitting. When you insert the fitting into a route sub-assembly, the Vertical axis is aligned to the first construction line drawn in the 3D sketch at the insertion point.
If you have more than one construction line at the insertion point, you are prompted to select one line for alignment.
