Geometry Requirements - Pipe Section

The following items are required for a component to be used as a Pipe Section or Conduit Section in SOLIDWORKS Routing.

Names of routing sketches and dimensions are case sensitive.

PipeSketch

A front-oriented sketch named PipeSketch
Two concentric circles, centered at the origin of the sketch, with dimensions named:
- InnerDiameter@PipeSketch
- OuterDiameter@PipeSketch

Example:

Extrusion

An extruded base feature named Extrusion, extruded in the direction of the positive Z-axis
A depth dimension named Length@Extrusion

Example:

FilterSketch

A sketch named FilterSketch
A circle with a dimension named NominalDiameter

Example:
