Auto Regions
The following edit options are available for auto regions:
■ Add interior route points.
■ Insert, replace, delete, and restore placed fittings.
■ Change the active tube and pipe style.
■ Change fitting diameters.
■ Use the Edit Position or Move Segment tool to reposition route segments.
■ Use the Edit Position or Move Node tool to reposition the intermediate
route points that are associated with a default coupling.
■ Switch to an alternative solution if multiple solutions exist.
■ Convert an auto region to a series of continuous sketched route segments.
■ Delete auto regions.
■ Remove client constraints to convert a segment or point in an autoroute
region to a parametric region.
Parametric Regions
The following edit options are available for parametric regions:
■ Insert, reposition, or delete segments and route points.
■ Insert, replace, delete, and restore placed fittings.
■ Change the active route style.
■ Change fitting diameters.
■ Reposition a placed fitting by editing segment dimensions or using the 3D
Move/Rotate tool.
■ Use the 3D Move/Rotate tool to move route points in three dimensions.
■ Create bends using the Bend tool.
■ Edit the dimensions (linear, angular, and radial) using the General
Dimension tool.
