To Modify the Location Coordinates of a Plumbing Line or Fitting

The preferred method for moving plumbing lines and fittings is to use location grips. However, you can also modify the location of a plumbing line using the Properties palette.

To change the location coordinates

  1. Select the plumbing line in your drawing that you want to modify.
  2. Click Home tabBuild panelTools drop-downProperties.
  3. On the Design tab of the Properties palette, under Placement Elevation, click Additional Information.
  4. In the Location dialog box, specify the placement or orientation changes.
    If you want to… then…
    specify a new location under Insertion Point, specify the new X, Y, and Z coordinates, and click OK.
    change the normal axis, and reorient the part along the new normal under Normal, specify 1 for the normal axis and 0 for the other 2 axes, and click OK.
    Attention: Using this method to modify the location coordinates of a plumbing line will cause the plumbing line to disconnect from any plumbing runs to which it is currently connected.
