3 On the Tube & Pipe panel bar, click the New Route tool, and then accept
the default route file name and location to continue.
4 On the Route panel bar, click the Route tool to start defining the start
point on valid geometry.
5 Pause the cursor over the circular edge as shown in the following image,
enter a distance of 1 inch, and then click the green check mark.
The point is created offset from the circular edge by that distance.
6 Move the cursor along the line extender and enter 8.5.
You can enlarge or reduce the 3D Orthogonal Route tool by pressing plus
(Shift and +) and minus (-) on the keypad.
7 Enlarge the 3D Orthogonal Route tool until the line reaches the top of
the model.
8 Make sure Point Snap is on, and then move the cursor over the work
plane to snap the point onto the 3D Orthogonal Route tool. Click to
create the point.
