Delete
■ For route segments in parametric regions, deletes
the selected route segment.
■ For pipe or tube parts, deletes the selected conduit
part and the underlying route segment.
■ For route points, deletes the selected node from the
route and re-evaluates automatic routing against
the style settings, and then updates the route. You
can delete manually placed route points, but not
start and end points and route points that are in-
serted during automatic routing.
■ For client constraints on the auto region, deletes
the client constraint so that you can then edit indi-
vidual route points and segments.
■ For groups of fittings, when removing the base fit-
ting that owns the route point, you must indicate
how to handle the remaining fittings in the group.
Removes the route, plus fittings and segments, or seg-
ments only in the selected route.
Delete Route
Removes the selected pipe run from the browser and
the graphics window. All routes and components in
the pipe run are deleted.
Delete Run
Prevents or allows automatic populating of tube and
pipe components in an individual route, pipe run, or
Display/Update Set-

master runs assembly by selecting Route Objects Only
or All Tube & Pipe Objects.
Deletes or edits the engagement for fitting connections
between two fittings or between a tube, pipe, or hose

part or a standard Inventor part and a fitting that was
manually inserted from the Content Center Library
using the Insert tool or from the active project
workspace using the Place Fitting tool.
Activates the selected fitting and provides the 3D Or-
thogonal Route tool for rotational changes. It is avail-
able only for placed fittings.
Edit Fitting Orienta-
tion
Activates the selected auto route segment or route point
that is associated with a default coupling in an auto
Edit Position
region, and provides the 3D Orthogonal Route Tool
for translational edits.
