Use the Pipe Run tab to add new routes, place and connect fittings, define
tube and pipe styles, and output the ISOGEN data.
The Route panel is available when the tube, pipe, or hose route environment
is active.
Route
Use the Route panel to create new routes, create a derived route, add or move
sketch nodes and segments, define tube and pipe styles, and dimension or
constrain the route.
There are several ways to enter the route environment, such as creating new
routes in a pipe run, double-clicking an existing route, and right-clicking a
route and selecting Edit.
There are additional tube and pipe commands contained here:

All tube and pipe components added to an assembly are contained in the
main runs subassembly. The components include individual runs and their
associated routes, fittings, segments, and route points.
Each run contains an Origin folder, one or more routes, and any segments or
fittings that are populated or manually inserted.
Routes contain the designated route points. To become familiar with the
various components in the browser, open a sample tube and pipe assembly.
