From there we'll create a new routing preference…called threaded and change some of the pieces parts.…Let's just jump into AutoCAD MEP 15,…into our routing preferences file.…Let's go to the manage tab,…on the style and display panel…let's go to the style manager.…In the style manager, let's drill in the piping objects.…Now let's drill in the pipe part routing preferences.…Notice that we have a ton of different…part routing preferences.…

If we minimize this and go to pipe system definitions,…remember this is more of a home made kinda of an affair.…
