Axis rotation problem - tube and pipe custom style

nsatheesan34D64 — Sun, 23 Jan 2022 21:04:57 GMT

I am populating a route with a custom tube and pipe style.

I am unable to rotate the routing plane. The cross hairs for 3D rotation are not visible.

Thanks for the help.

Are you looking to rotate the elbow? If so this can be done by constraining the route to a work plane using sketch constraints and include geometry. Otherwise delete the route and draw it in the correct direction.

If this isn't the answer your looking for, please provide more information.

Hi @A.Acheson

I want to continue the routing in 45deg downward direction. But since cross hairs aren't visible, I am not able to rotate the plane.

Thanks

In your Tube and pipe style there is no 45 deg elbows, and software will allow you to turn only 90 deg, beacuase of that there is no cross hair.

Hi @n_Sovljanski

Thanks a lot!. That was the exact issue. When I added 45deg elbow style, problem solved. Highly appreciate your help
