When a change is made to routes, runs, and positional representations, the tube and pipe assembly automatically updates all components as 3D objects. To save time for updating the tube and pipe assembly, you can choose to display individual routes and runs as centerlines. This action defers automatic updates of tube, pipe, and hose components and allows you to see the effect a change has on an individual route before repopulating. You can also disable automatic updates for the entire tube and pipe runs subassembly and display only centerlines.
Note: When a new route is created and populated, it always displays as populated and not as centerlines. This is true even when the pipe run is set to Display Routes Only.
