Flexible Hose Style Parameters

A flexible hose style includes several parameters that are common to all three route types. The parameters specific to a flexible hose style include:

Hose Round Up Value

(On the Rules tab) Rounds the hose length up to the first larger value, based on the specified increment. For example, if the Hose Round Up Value is set to 0.5 in., the hose length of 1.4 in. is rounded up to 1.5 in.

Fitting Types

(On the General tab under Components) Includes a hose part, a start fitting, and an end fitting. The start and end fittings can be suppressed using the context menu from the appropriate rows in the components table. Suppressed fittings are not included in the flexible hose route. If you suppress the start fitting, the end fitting is automatically suppressed.

Use subassembly

Determines the structure of the hose as either a flat structure or a subassembly.

For more information about parameters, see Style Optionsin this chapter.

Note: You cannot apply a rigid type style to a flexible hose route and you cannot apply a flexible hose style to a rigid route. To change between a rigid style and flexible hose style, delete the route and create one using the flexible hose style.
