Routes are created by selecting at least two route points. Route points can be manually defined. In rigid routes, the system can also automatically generate route points in auto regions.
A route typically starts from:
- Circular geometry such as a face, a hole, and cylindrical cuts
- Work points that reside in the assembly
- Vertices on any assembly component
- Existing free terminal route points in the active route
- Existing fittings
When you select circular geometry or work points, the route remains associative to these points. If the model geometry changes, the route automatically updates.
Various edit s are available for route points on the Route tab and the context menu. Availability depends on the specific route creation mechanism and route type. For instance, when you edit a rigid route, the 3D Move/Rotate, Constraints, and General Dimension commands are applicable to sketched route points. However, only Move Node, Move Segment, and Edit Position are applicable to auto regions where appropriate.
