NOTE You can delete the start or end hose node only when the flexible hose style
suppresses both fittings or the end fitting respectively. Deleting such hose nodes
enables you to redefine hose nodes using the Route tool.
Hose Length
When the hose is too slack or too tight, you can use the 3D Move/Rotate tool
to adjust specific nodes and change the hose length closer to the desired
length.
You can modify the length of a hose route precisely using the Hose Length
tool. When adjusting the hose length, there are two types of length values
displayed: Actual Length and Rounded Length. You can choose which one to
display when documenting hose routes.
Adjust the length of a hose route
1 In the AirSystem1:1 run, activate Hose02 in the Flexible Hose 02
subassembly.
2
On the ribbon, click Route tab ➤ Manage panel ➤ Hose
Length.
The Edit Hose Length dialog box displays the actual length and the
rounded length. The rounded length is calculated from the hose round
up value specified in the style. The values specific to your own exercise
may be a bit different since positions of hose nodes may be different.
3 Drag the slider to the left and right to see the effects of the movement
on the spline.
A thinner green preview spline represents the hose that results.
