Creating a Flange

To create a flange part:

  1. Create a component that meets the geometry requirements for a flange.
  2. Create a connection point where the pipe exits the flange. The connection point must be:

    • Concentric with a circular edge of the flange.
    • At the correct depth inside the flange (if the pipe or tube extends into the flange).

    Optionally, you can include a specification parameter so you can filter configurations.

  3. Create a route point (optional). The route point enables you to:

    • Terminate a route with the flange.
    • Place flanges back-to-back within a route.

  4. Insert a design table to create configurations.
  5. Save the part in the Routing library specified in Routing File Locations.
When a flange is used as an end fitting in a route, its position can either drive or be driven by the position of the route sketch. See Mating in Routing Subassemblies.
