Connections

Fitting connections are used to maintain the fixed relationship between components in a tube and pipe assembly. You can connect fittings or normal Autodesk Inventor components that exist in the tube and pipe assembly to other components including connected fittings. You can also connect fittings being dropped from the Content Center or being placed using Place Fitting to another component. After the connection is created, use Edit Fitting Orientation to rotate the free fitting or component to a new orientation. Select multiple fittings to rotate them as a group.

You can break connections to edit the fitting connections independently and accommodate more changes to the tube and pipe run assembly. You cannot break connections between fittings placed during populate route.
