You can use this section to view existing Connection Points (CPoints) and
Route Points (RPoints) on the component and to determine if you need to add any
points.
To display this section, do one of the following:
- Click , and click Routing Component
Wizard
.
-
From the Windows Start menu, click

Required and Optional Points
You must add required points.
Add |
Lets you add CPoints or
RPoints to the component or ACPoint and ARPoint to the assembly.
|
Edit |
Lets you edit the geometry of
CPoints, ACPoints, RPoints, or ARPoints. |
Delete |
Lets you delete CPoints,
RPoints, ACPoints, or ARPoints. |
Point Type
Displays the type of required points.
Note the following about the point
types:
- CPoint: A connection
point (CPoint) is a point in a fitting (flange, elbow, electrical connector)
where a routing segment (pipe, tube, wire, cable, or HVAC duct) begins or
ends. You can only generate a routing segment when at least one end is
attached to a connection point. Each fitting part must contain a connection
point for each port, positioned where you want the adjoining pipe, tube,
cable, or HVAC duct to begin or end.
- ACPoint: An assembly
connection point (ACPoint) is a point where a route can be joined to an
assembly. It serves the same function for an assembly that a connection
point does for a fitting.
- RPoint: A route
point (RPoint) is a point in a fitting (such as a flange, elbow, or
electrical connector) that you use to position the fitting at an
intersection or endpoint in the route sketch. In the case of clips, route
points help define the path of flexible routes.
- ARPoint: An
assembly route point (ARPoint) is a point that positions an assembly on or
at the end of a route. It serves the same function for an assembly that a
route point does for a fitting. For example, a filter assembly can have an
assembly route point to show how it fits along a segment of pipe.
Number of Points
Displays the number of connection points present or required in the
component.
CPoint Configuration
Add
all CPoints |
Generates stubs from all
CPoints when you place the part in a route. |
Do
not connect CPoint |
Does not generate stubs from
any CPoints when you place the part in a route. |
Select CPoints |
Lets you indicate which
CPoints generate stubs when you place the part in a
route. |
