initial fitting dropped on the route to create a branch or fork.
Create Master Runs Assemblies
To create the master runs assembly, you click Environments tab ➤ Begin
panel ➤ Tube and Pipe on the ribbon. On the Create Tube & Pipe Run dialog
box that appears you provide a unique name and location for the master runs
assembly and individual run respectively. By default, the files are saved to the
workspace of the active project.
The Tube & Pipe Runs assembly is added to the browser along with other
placed components and is arranged in the order it was added to the assembly.
In the following exercise, you open an existing assembly and prepare to add
tubing and piping in the context of that assembly. You also become familiar
with the components included in the tube and pipe design environment
including the Tube and Pipe tab, Pipe Run tab, Route tab, and Model browser.
