Change the style of an existing route
1 Activate the route for which you want to change the style. If desired,
open a tube and pipe assembly from the Samples directory to perform
this operation.
2 On the Route tab, Manage panel, select a new style from the Active Style
list.
The model is updated to conform to the new style. The changes are also
reflected in the browser.
NOTE When switching a route from a Tubing with Bends style to a Rigid Pipe
with Fittings style, the results may be unpredictable. You cannot switch an existing
route between the rigid piping and flexible hose styles.
Change Active Styles for New Routes
Routes in the same system often have different uses and different requirements.
To accommodate these changes, you can select a new style with the settings
needed for each different route. If you change or edit a style that is in use by
one or more routes, the style change or edits will affect all routes that use that
style.
Change the active style for new routes
1 Activate the master runs assembly or an individual pipe run.
2 On the Tube and Pipe or Pipe Run tab, Active Style list, select Welded
Steel Pipe - ASTM A53/A53M - ASME B16.11 (1/4 ND).
Add Styles to Assembly Templates
Within an Autodesk Inventor assembly, the tube and pipe runs subassembly
is created from the master tube and pipe runs assembly template, piping
runs.iam. This file is stored in the installation path of Autodesk Inventor
Professional Tube & Pipe, by default, Windows
®
XP C:\Program
Files\Autodesk\Inventor <version>\Design Data\Tube & Pipe and
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor <version>\Design Data\Tube &
Pipe for Windows Vista
®
.
As with Autodesk Inventor assembly templates, Autodesk Inventor Professional
Tube & Pipe provides two types of units for the template: English and Metric.
