Duplicating a route
- [Instructor] If your designs include manifolds, or redundant systems, you might need to have the same run repeated over and over in your design. Rather than going through the process of routing each of these runs individually, you can simply duplicate a run. I'll go to the tube and pipe styles. I'll activate a run. Copy it, and paste it back in the tube and pipe styles. This new run not only has all the same geometry, but it is linked to the original content. So if I make a modification to the route, in this case because it's a derived route, I'll make modifications to the dimensions. I can finished these modifications and I'll see that both routes maintain the same geometry. If at some point I want to make the routes unique, to be able to make changes to one and not the other, I can right click the new route or the copied route or any instance of the copied route, make that one adaptive. It will save my work and then it will prompt me with the ability to select and define new file…
