Master Runs Assemblies

When you open an assembly file, the assembly environment displays. You can begin adding pipe runs. For the first pipe run you add, the system creates the master runs assembly along with an individual run. The master runs assembly is a container for all pipe runs added to the assembly. The number of runs you include depends on your design and manufacturing documentation needs.

When you create the master runs assembly, you work in the Create Tube & Pipe Run dialog box. You enter a name and location for the master runs assembly and individual run respectively. By default, the files are saved to the workspace of the active project.

The Tube & Pipe Runs assembly is added to the browser along with other placed components, and is arranged in the order you add it to the assembly.

Note: It is recommended that you save the top assembly regularly. Tube and Pipe components are stored in your project workspace only after you save the top assembly.

Global Settings

With the top assembly active, you can specify the global document and application settings for the master runs assembly.
