The Rules tab sets parameters that specify the size range for creating route segments between identified route points. It includes the minimum and maximum values, as well as the increment round-off value. Other settings are specific to the type of style being created:
- For bent tube routes, you can set the default bend radius for the bends.
- For flexible hose routes, you can set a hose length round-up value and minimum bend radius.
- For butt welded styles, you can set the gap size for the groove welds and whether to display the gaps in the graphics window and drawings.
- For a combination butt welded and flanged style, indicate the style to use at coupling points. The fitting connections are determined by the end treatment that is set for the fitting. All other end treatment types use a gap to join segments and fittings.
DANGER: It is recommended that the minimum segment length is at least 1.5 times Nominal Diameter. Otherwise, if conduit segments are too small compared to Nominal Diameter, it is more likely to cause a minimum segment length violation.
