Creating a Tube in an Assembly
Creating a Tube in an Assembly
(OP)
In an assembly how do I pick a part to begin my pipe/tube run? I have an asm file that is the entire plant with equipment. I have a part drawing, in the asm, for piping. When I edit in place the piping file, I can't select any of the equipment in the plant layout part file. I can activate the part, but that doesn't give me a starting point or reference to utilize for the tube/pipe run.

Anyway, yes, if I was just modeling a tube with a plain part that occupies more than one plane I would use 3D sketches. 3D sketches are new in ST7 I believe. Prior to that you had to generate a lot of planes and sketches in order to construct a multidimensional tube. A rather big PITA.
