When modifying the nominal diameter in the style:
■ If the part family (hose, start fitting, and end fitting) contains the member
with the desired nominal diameter, Tube & Pipe automatically locates the
member listed under Components in the Tube & Pipe Styles dialog box.
■ If the part family does not contain the member with the desired nominal
diameter, you must search for and locate them. Under Components,
right-click the appropriate row and select Browse to start the Library Browser
tool, and then select one from the compatible parts list.
Change nominal diameters of hose route components
1 Activate the Hose 01 route in the AirSystem2:1 run.
2 On the Route panel bar, click the Tube & Pipe Styles tool. Verify that the
Hydraulic Hose- Female Thread - Swivel (1/2 ND 2) style is active.
3 On the General tab, change the Diameter from 1/2 in to 5/16 inches.
4 Verify the list in the Components table. If Pipe, Start Fitting, or End
Fitting is empty, click Browse, and then search for and locate a part from
the compatible parts list.
5 Click Save.
6 Click Close.
7 Right-click and select Finish Edit.
The new diameter applies to the start fitting, hose segment, and end
fitting in the hose route. Autodesk Inventor Tube & Pipe recomputes the
hose route.
Create Hose Routes With One Fitting
In this exercise, you place a threaded tee onto the threaded steel pipe you
previously created, and create a hose route using the Hydraulic Hose- Female
Thread - Swivel (1/2 ND 1) style. This flexible hose style suppresses the end
fitting so the hose route ends at the tee. The fitting is set as suppressed in the
style definition.
Create a hose route
1 Activate the AirSystem1:1 run.
