Creating an Orthogonal Route

Now use Auto Route to automatically create an orthogonal route from the tee fitting to the flange.

  1. Click Auto Route (Routing Tools toolbar or Piping CommandManager).
  2. Select the endpoints of the two stubs (one at the tee fitting, the other at the flange).
    The points are listed under Current Selection in the PropertyManager. Because this is a rigid pipe route, Orthogonal route is automatically selected under Auto Route. An orthogonal route between the two points appears in the graphics area.
  3. In the PropertyManager, under Auto Route, for Alternate paths, click the up and down arrows until the path appears as shown.
  4. Click .
  5. Click and then in the Confirmation Corner to exit the sketch and close the route.
    In the FeatureManager design tree, the new tee and elbows appear in Components and new pipe parts appear in Route Parts .
