■ Connect fittings, routes, runs, tube and pipe subassembly, and
Autodesk Inventor
®
components.
■ Use the Model browser to visualize the tube and pipe run structure
or change visibility for conduit parts and fittings.
13 Save the top assembly.
It is recommended that you save the top assembly regularly. Tube and
pipe components are not stored in your project workspace until the top
assembly is saved.
Create Auto Route Regions
In this exercise, you quickly define a route by selecting points using circular
geometry and allowing the system to generate the rest.
Create an auto region
1 In the AirSystemAssy.iam assembly, activate AirSystem1:1.
2 On the Pipe Run tab active style list, verify that Welded Steel Pipe - ASTM
A53/A53M - ASME B16.11 (1/4 ND) is the active style.
3 On the ribbon, click Pipe Run tab ➤ Route panel ➤ New Route.
4 On the Create New Route dialog box, accept the default route file name
and location, and then click OK.
A pipe route is added to the active run and activated in place. The Route
tab is displayed.
5 On the ribbon, click Route tab ➤ Create panel ➤ Route.
