(Add grip) to draw a run as follows:

- For conduit: On the Properties palette, under Routing Options, specify the layout method to apply to the new conduit run.
- If you start from an MvPart, under Dimensions, optionally specify a system and routing preference.
The new run inherits the routing preference and system setting of the connected object.
- If you change the nominal size before specifying the first segment of the new run, a transition is inserted.
Tip: If the conduit is not in the conduit routing preferences, you are prompted to make a part substitution to insert into the layout at the appropriate angle. - If you start from an MvPart, under Dimensions, optionally specify a system and routing preference.
- For cable tray: In the Add Cable Trays dialog box:
- If you start from an MvPart, specify a system type for System.
- If you start from a segment or fitting, the new run inherits the system.
- If you change a dimension before specifying the first segment of the new run, a transition is inserted.
- Continue specifying points for the layout geometry.
