Tubing with Bends Style
1 In the style browser, expand the Tubing with Bends style type.
2 Select ASTM B 88-ASME B16.22 Soldered Copper Tubing as the base for
the new style.
3 Copy and edit the style as you did for the previous styles.
4 Name the style: Soldered Copper Tube (1/2 ND,.5 Bend).
5 Click the Rules tab and enter a bend radius of 0.500 in.
6 Click Save.
Flexible Hose Styles
Flexible hose styles have some additional options that the other styles do not.
You can set the Use subassembly option to determine how the flexible hose
route is structured. It can be created in a flat structure, or with route
components grouped in a subassembly under the pipe run (default). Once
you create a flexible hose route, the route structure cannot be changed.
As with rigid route types, one of the first things you must do before creating
a route is to select a flexible hose style using the Tube & Pipe Styles tool. You
can create your own flexible hose style using custom fittings published to the
Content Center or select a predefined style.
Flexible Hose Style Parameters
A flexible hose style includes several parameters that are common to all three
route types. The parameters specific to a flexible hose style include:
(On the Rules tab) Rounds the hose length up to the
first larger value, based on the specified increment. For
Hose Round Up Value
example, if the Hose Round Up Value is set to 0.5 in.,
the hose length of 1.4 in. is rounded up to 1.5 in.
(On the General tab under Components) Includes a
hose part, a start fitting, and an end fitting. The start
Fitting Types
and end fittings can be suppressed using the context
