12 Right-click the Autoroute browser node and select Alternate Route
Solution.
You can use the Select Other tool to switch the auto region solution as
needed.
13 Ensure that you click the green middle button on the Select Other tool
to go back to the previously-set solution before you continue.
Manually Creating Parametric Regions
Many runs involve more complex routing, which requires the creation of
additional route points. Tube & Pipe in Autodesk

Inventor
™
Routed Systems
provides a variety of route tools to dimension or constrain the route against
existing geometry and construction lines.
In this chapter, you learn about how to use the General Dimension tool,
Parallel With Edge, Perpendicular To Face, Point Snap and Rotation Snap,
Bend and Custom Bend, and 3D Orthogonal Route tool.
For detailed instructions about other parametric route tools, refer to the Routed
Systems Help table of contents and navigate to Routes and Runs, Rigid Routes
section.
