Tube and Pipe styles depend upon the Content Center. This tutorial uses components from the ANSI library. If this library is not available to you, substitute components from a different library or read along without performing the steps. If you use a library other than ANSI, it is not critical that components are the correct sizes, only that they work to demonstrate the workflow.

This tutorial is created for a single-user environment with libraries stored in a Desktop Content location. If you are a member of a workgroup that shares libraries, you must be a library administrator and have editor permissions to perform library editing tasks. Also the method for creating user libraries on the server is different than presented in this tutorial.
