Practice Your Skills
In this exercise, you use the skills you just learned to insert a pipe part from
the Content Center Library into the background of the graphics window. Note
that you cannot drop the conduit part onto route segments.
In addition to ND (Nominal Diameter), you must specify the SN (Schedule
Number) and PL (Pipe Length) parameters.
Insert a library pipe part
1 Activate the AirSystem1:1 run.
2 Right-click in the graphics window and select the Place from Content
Center tool.
3 In the Place from Content Center dialog box, navigate to and select Tube
& Pipe ➤ Conduits ➤ Pipes ➤ ASTM A 53/A 53M Pipe.
4 In the Content Center Part Family dialog box, specify:
ND: 1/4
SN: 40
PL: 10
5 Click OK.
6 In the Save As dialog box, use the default location and file name.
7 Place the pipe part anywhere in the background of the graphics window.
8 Right-click and select Done.
TIP You can use the Connect Fittings tool to connect the placed tube or pipe
part to another component in the run.
Adjust Fitting Position and Orientation
Fittings are associated with the underlying route points on the route sketch,
with the exception groups of connected fittings. In this case, the first fitting
