To correctly define new materials for tube and pipe styles, you must enable
the Use Styles Library setting for your project. For detailed instructions, see
Set Up Projects For Exercises on page 11 in Chapter 1.
WARNING Do not confuse tube and pipe styles with styles and style libraries in
Autodesk Inventor
®
. They are two separate, unrelated entities.
Access Tube and Pipe Styles
Before you begin working with routes and runs, examine the style settings,
and then select the style you need.
To work with styles, activate the tube and pipe environment and start the
Tube & Pipe Styles tool to display the Tube & Pipe Styles dialog box. The Tube
& Pipe Styles tool can be accessed on the ribbon or right-click menu when
you activate:
■ The master runs assembly
■ A run
■ A route
