document and application settings for the master runs assembly.
Defer All Tube & Pipe Updates
Defer all tube and pipe updates when you are editing normal parts in a standard
Autodesk Inventor assembly or editing positional representations.
After the Defer All Tube & Pipe Updates check box is selected, most commands
specific to Tube & Pipe are disabled. The tube and pipe runs assembly is not
visible. Neither the tube and pipe runs assembly nor the associated parts in
drawings automatically update. You cannot create new pipe routes and runs
in the tube and pipe runs assembly.
When the Defer All Tube & Pipe Updates check box is cleared, you can defer
updates for individual runs and individual routes. For detailed instructions,
see
Control Individual Settings on page 117 in Chapter 6.
