Rotation Snap tool on the right-click context menu to reorient the direction
axes of the 3D Orthogonal Route tool by snapping to the valve opening.
Snap the axis rotation to existing geometry
1 In the AirSystemAssy.iam assembly, activate the AirSystem1:1 run.
2 On the standard toolbar, Active Style list, select Welded Steel Pipe - ASTM
A53/A53M - ASME B16.11 (1/4 ND).
3 On the Tube & Pipe panel bar, click the New Route tool, and then accept
the default route file name and location.
AirSystemAssy.Route04 is added to the Model browser.
4 On the Route panel bar, click the Route tool to start defining the start
point on valid geometry.
5 Select the start point as shown in the following image.
6 Click the right circular edge on the IBeam to allow the system to generate
an auto region. Use the Select Other tool to cycle through all solutions
as needed, and then select the first solution.
7 Right-click in the graphics window and select Point Snap.
8 Move the cursor over the upper face on the path part as shown in the
following image, and then click to snap the new route point.
Rotate the view to get a better view as needed.
