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 Select the start point of the route.
6 Enter a distance of 5 inches for the first segment.
The 3D Orthogonal Route tool is displayed with the tube routing elements.
7 Click the Radius handle and enter a bend radius of 1 inch.
8 Rotate to get a better view of the tool, select the Rotation handle, and
then drag up by 30 degrees.
9 Pause the cursor over the red axis, and enter a distance of 3 inches.
10 Select the Rotation handle, and drag down 140 degrees.
11 Pause the cursor over the red axis, and enter a distance of 3 inches.
