You can continue a route or create a branch using a Continuation grip. Continuation grips are available from pipe, pipe fittings, and nozzles.
Equipment nozzles have Continuation grips.
When you use a Continuation grip, the initial pipe size and direction are assumed. When continuing from a pipe or pipe fitting, the pipe spec and line number are also assumed.
Continuation grips are available at open ports, and at default branch locations (For example: the middle of a pipe segment). A continuation grip does not appear if the port is in an xref, or the port is connected to from another project drawing as an xref.
If a nozzle is incompatible with the current pipe spec an error message displays and a connection is not made. When you change the pipe size, a reducer is inserted, if one is listed in the pipe spec.
