To work with Include geometry to route sketch

Include or edit included geometry in sketched route segments

In a finished route, sketched route segments can be edited by placing constraints on geometry in the tube and pipe assembly. When existing geometry can assist in defining sketched route points and segments, use the Include Geometry command to introduce reference geometry to the route sketch.

Include geometry to route sketch

1. Activate the route containing the sketched route segment to edit.

2. On the ribbon, click Route tab Create panel Include Geometry .

3. Click geometry to include. Valid geometry for selection is any:

   • Edge
   • Vertex
   • Work geometry
   • 2D Sketch geometry
   • Planar face

4. Right-click in the graphics window and select Done.

5. To continue editing sketched route segments:

   • Use the Constraints command to apply appropriate geometric constraints between route geometry and reference geometry, such as parallel or perpendicular.
   • Use the General Dimension command to apply dimension constraints between route geometry and reference geometry, such as angular dimension.

Edit included reference geometry in routes

If route points and segments are constrained to referenced geometry, they automatically respond to changes on the source geometry. To remove the associated constraints and clear up the graphics view, you can delete the unwanted reference geometry.

1. Activate the route.

2. Expand the Included Geometry folder, right-click the reference geometry, and then select Delete.

   Associated constraints on the route sketch are removed. Changes on the source geometry no longer impact the route sketch.

• Use the Visibility command to control the visibility.
• Use the Auto-Size command to automatically enlarge the view of the included work plane. To manually resize or move the work plane, ensure that you have selected the Select commandFeature Priority or Select Faces or Edges option on the Quick Access toolbar.
