Can't find the begin panel in Inventor 2015

[OmniMatt]

Hi, I've recently been trying to create a hose in my assembly but I can't find the option to begin a tube or Pipe run anywhere. I've looked at the autodesk help section and it tells me to find the 'begin' panel in either environments or assembly but it doesn't seem to be there. 

Any help will be much appreciated, thank you.

are you using Inventor or Inventor Professional 2 different products

Inventor will not have the tube & pipe add in but Inventor Professional will

oops, What I meant was that I can't find the option for tube and pipe runs in the begin panel.

Maybe a supid question but, you do have Inventor Proffesional installed right?  Do you have the Strss analysis and wire harness options on the begin panel?  Or do you even see the begin panel?  If you can't see the panel go to the environments tab and right click on the panel bar, you should see an option for "show panels".  Select that and then pick what panels you want visible.

Ah, that'll be it then - thanks

Of course - you can still create a hose run without Professional, you just won't have the fancy tools to automate the process.
