1. In the Project Browser, open the view where you want to place the flange.
2. In the Project Browser, expand FamiliesPipesPipe Types.
3. Right-click a pipe type, and click Type Properties.
4. In the Type Properties dialog, under Segments and Fittings, for Routing Preferences, click Edit.
5. In the Routing Preferences dialog, specify the default flange fitting type used with the selected pipe type.

   For details, see Specify Routing Preferences for Pipe.

6. Click OK twice.
7. Draw one or more pipes and add fittings.

   Flanges are automatically added between pipe ends and fittings.
