The Tube & Pipe Runs assembly is added to the browser along with other
placed components and is arranged in the order it was added to the assembly.
In the following exercise, you open an existing assembly and prepare to add
tubing and piping in the context of that assembly. You also become familiar
with the components included in the tube and pipe design environment
including the Tube & Pipe Runs panel bar, Tube & Pipe panel bar, Model
browser, and standard toolbar.
Create a tube and pipe assembly
1 Click File ➤ Open.
2 Open the AirSystemAssy.iam assembly.
3 On the Assembly panel bar, click the Create Pipe Run tool.
4 On the Create Tube & Pipe Run dialog box, enter AirSystem1 as the name
for the first run and accept the other defaults. Verify the default path in
the project workspace.
