Tube & Pipe Enhancements

In the Tube & Pipe Styles dialog, the Default Radius edit field is now available for all Tube & Pipe styles. Default Bend Radius equals to 2* Nominal Diameter value. Changed value will be used for new custom bends. Existing routes with custom bends will be updated to reflect the new Bend Radius value.

For more information see To create New Tube and Pipe Styles.

It is now also possible to select a circular edge as a connection point and a connection axis when authoring custom elbows or custom return bends.
