Define the Master Runs Assembly
When an assembly file is first opened, the assembly environment is displayed
and you can begin adding pipe runs. For the first pipe run added, the system
creates the master runs assembly along with an individual run. The master
runs assembly is a container for all pipe runs added to the assembly. The
number of runs you include depends on your design and manufacturing
documentation needs.
Each run can include one or more individual routes. All routes in a run can
use the same or different styles. With the capability to assign unique styles,
it is possible to have all three route types, each with different size diameters
