Use conduit routing preferences to draw accurate runs in auto layout. When you configure a routing preference to meet a particular industry standard or specification, the appropriate fittings are automatically inserted into the layout. Auto layout can generate different routing solutions, from which you can choose the best alternative. Conversely, you can change a routing preference as you add conduit segments to a run from the Properties palette. Nominal size on the Properties palette reflects the current routing preference.
