ble hose route. If you suppress the start fitting, the end
fitting is automatically suppressed.
Determines the structure of the hose as either a flat
structure or a subassembly.
Use subassembly
For more information about parameters, see Setting Style Options on page 39
in this chapter.
NOTE You cannot apply a rigid type style to an existing flexible hose route and
vice versa. To change between a rigid style and flexible hose style, you must delete
the route and create a new one using the flexible hose style.
Structure Flexible Hose Routes
When defining the flexible hose style you must decide if you want the fittings
placed into either a flat structure or a subassembly.
All parts are independent components placed along
with all other components under the pipe run. There
is no subassembly.
Flat structure
All parts are grouped into a subassembly under the
pipe run.
Subassembly struc-
ture
The route structure used for your design is typically determined by how the
hose route parts are purchased, assembled, and represented in manufacturing
documentation such as Parts Lists and Bills of Materials (BOM).
Create Flexible Hose Styles
In the following exercises, you create several hose styles based on the
predefined Hydraulic Hose - Female Thread - Swivel style.
Create a Flexible Hose style with both fittings
1 In the style browser, select Hydraulic Hose - Female Thread - Swivel.
2 Copy and edit the style as you did previously.
3 Enter the new style name, Hydraulic Hose- Female Thread - Swivel (1/2 ND
2) to indicate the nominal size and two hose fittings, and click Save.
4 On the General tab, select 1/2 in from the Diameter list.
