Routing

Contents

• Auto Route Tool Supports Routing Along Existing Geometry
  

  The Auto Route tool includes an option to create a route based on existing geometry.

• Creating Drawings for Flexible Tubing Routes
  

  You can create a drawing of a flexible tube assembly in the same manner as you create a pipe drawing. Tube drawings can include fittings, tubes, dimensions, and a BOM in an isometric view. You can also create drawings of tube routes that contain spools.

• Enhanced Pipe Penetration
  

  The workflow for penetrating pipes has improved.

• Enhanced Support for Exporting Pipe and Tube Data
  

  You can export more types of routing components to a .pcf file and import them into ISOGEN^® applications, such as coverings, supports, and fittings center point data.

• Improvements for Flattened Routes
  

  Enhancements to electrical flattened routes give flattened harness drawings a cleaner and more complete appearance.

• Improvements for Ribbon Cable Routes
  

  Enhancements to ribbon cables make it easier for you to create route paths. All Sketch Tools are available when you create and edit ribbon cable routes, like other routing functionality.

• Adding Slopes for Pipe Routes
  

  Routing provides full support for adding slopes to segments of solid pipe routes.

• Support for Tubing in P&ID Files
  

  You can import data for tubing systems from a Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) file. The import of tubing systems is the same as the import of piping systems. You can also combine piping and tubing connections in the same file.

• Validation Check for Routing Component Wizard
  

  The Routing Component Wizard in the Routing Library Manager can validate design tables. The Design Table Check dialog box validates custom design table entries and displays feedback.
