If the pipe segment is not connected to another object, you can change both its length and angle using the Start grip or End grip. The Start and End grips let you change the XYZ location of the start point or endpoint of the segment. This is useful when you are initially designing runs because it lets you connect a segment to an existing run. NOTE When using lengthen grips, the lengthen value displayed in the dynamic dimension is the same as the pipe length but may not be the same as the cut length. For more information, see Pipe Length on page 268. Configuring Pipe System Settings Pipe tools include properties for configuring pipe runs and ensuring more accurate piping designs. Pipe system settings are stored with a drawing. You can have different pipe system settings for different drawings and can share them between drawings. Configuring Routing Preferences You configure pipe part routing preferences by specifying a size range, parts, and connections to use in a pipe run.
