Context Menus
Many edit actions start by selecting from the context menu. The context menu
varies depending on the edit context and the selected item.
In the exercises that follow, you learn the following basic editing tools:
Interactively positions route points in the parametric
regions by dragging the triad in a planar mode, axial
3D Move/Rotate
move or rotate, free movement, or entering values
along X, Y, or Z axes. You can also reposition route
points by editing the segment dimensions.
By default, the triad axes relate logically to the world
coordinate system but may vary from the route direc-
tion. To accurately define the X, Y, Z distances relative
to the route direction, you can redefine the axis align-
ment to the route segment.
Changes the diameter for one or more placed fittings
and routed fittings that are used by a style to populate

meter
routes and runs. The system finds the diameters that
are common to all selected fittings and displays them
in a list.
NOTE Change Size performs the same action.
