Creating a Flexible Tube Route

All the route segments you have created so far are part of the same route subassembly. Now create a new route subassembly containing a flexible tube route between the tube fittings on the tops of the regulator and filter. First you need to change the editing focus from the route subassembly back to the top-level assembly.

  1. Click Edit Component (Assembly toolbar).
    The editing focus changes back to the top-level assembly.
  2. Click File > Save to This PC and save all the files.
  3. Click View Routing Points (View toolbar) or View > Hide/Show > Routing Points.
  4. Right-click CPoint2 on the fitting on top of the regulator and select Start Route.
  5. In the PropertyManager, under Tube:
    1. Click Browse and browse to \routing\tubing\tutorial\tube - rubber.SLDPRT in the Design Library (the part you added to the Design Library earlier in this tutorial).
    2. Click Open.
      If you were unable to add the rubber tubing part earlier, click Cancel and use the default stainless steel part tube-ss.SLDPRT.
    3. Select Use flexible hoses.
  6. Click .
    A stub of tubing extends from the fitting.

  7. Drag the endpoint of the stub to make the stub longer.
