TUBE AND PIPE SKETCHES

Hello, 

I'm trying to show my tube and pipe route sketches in my drawing without populating my routes. In the past my tube and pipe assemblies have caused me and my company many problems. Hopefully, not populating the routes until final release can speed up our process a little bit. Thanks guys.

One of the last things we do is our T&P runs. The majority are flexible hose (air & hydraulic) which helps. I like to place my fittings before the T&P. This allows me to set the angle of the fittings which helps with the T&P run.

Are talking about dimensioning for fabrication? I know this is example populated, but as blair said, this is the last thing you should do when creating runs.  Workflows are also pretty important when in the T&P environment.

Also, for route centerlines, you can right click in the drawing browser for them to show in the view. You can click on the parent route or individual routes...

No, we're not using them for fabrication. We're just showing the customer what their routes will look like in 3D for the approval process.
