Create Bent Tube Routes
Bent tube type routes can be created at any angle and using any bend radius.
For this exercise you select the Soldered Copper Tube (1/2 ND,.5 Bend) style
you created earlier, and then create a bent tube route by directing it along the
IBeam and over to the threaded steel route to the right of the model.
Create a bent tube route
1 In the AirSystemAssy.iam assembly, activate the AirSystem1:1 run.
2 On the Pipe Run tab, Manage panel, Active Style list, select Soldered
Copper Tubing (1/2 ND,.5 Bend).
