Routing Routing is available in SOLIDWORKS® Premium. Contents Create a Flattened Drawing with Cleaner Output The following updates in flattened drawings provide cleaner output and improved workflow: Customizing Slack Percentages in the Route Properties and Route Segment PropertyManagers In the Route Properties and the Route Segment Properties PropertyManagers, you can define a custom value for the Slack Percentage for individual route segments. This value overrides the slack percentage specified in Tools > Options > System Options > Routing . Enhancing Pipe and Tube Modifications When you edit a route assembly containing pipes and tubes, the SOLIDWORKS Routing software modifies existing components instead of creating new virtual components.

The guidelines identify the nearest sketch segment that leads to its corresponding end connector and follow that path.
