6 In the graphics window, pause the cursor over the circular geometry as
shown in the following image. Zoom in and use the Select Other Direction
tool if needed to make your selection.
Once preselected, the circular geometry highlights and the line extender
displays, showing the direction of the route so you can create valid points
along the line. Press the spacebar to change the direction of the line
extender if needed.
7 Click the circular geometry to select it as the start point.
This point is associated with the component that contains the selected
circular edge. A work point is added to the piping route.
8 For the second route point, you can select a point on the line extender
or existing geometry. To route through the IBeam, pause the cursor over
the left arc of the IBeam opening.
