For this connection I'll start with the nipple on the side of this manifold. I'm given the same options that you would see using bent tubing, I'll come out a distance, but this time rather than continuing to select points and enter data I'll use work points that exist on components in my assembly to set the route. Here I'm shown an arrow pointing the opposite direction that my route is coming from so I'll use the shift key to redirect. I'll select and I'm able to keep picking. As I near this object I'm shown a point at the end of a line which is presently offset at .44 inches…
