Delete route points

In both auto regions and parametric regions of a rigid route, intermediate route points that are associated with a coupling or a placed fitting and terminal route points can be deleted, but intermediate route points that are associated with a default directional fitting cannot.

Tip: Deleting intermediate route points is one of the ways to delete the associated coupling or manually inserted fitting. Alternatively, placed fittings can also be directly deleted with the run active.

Delete intermediate route points

  1. Activate the route.
  2. In the Model browser or graphics window, right-click the route point and select Delete.
    • If a shared route point is deleted, it is deleted from all shared route segments.
    • If an intermediate route point that joins two collinear rigid route segments is deleted, one or two single linear route segment is created conforming to the minimum and maximum segment lengths.
    • If an intermediate hose route point is deleted, the system recomputes the hose length and updates the hose segment conforming to the minimum bend radius and round-up value.

Delete terminal route points

  1. Activate the route.
  2. In the graphics window, right-click the last segment containing the terminal route point and select Delete.
