Command line: ROUTER
Draws a 3D polyline for the previous welded, threaded, and socket automatic routing routines.
-
If you are using known 3D points, the UCS must be at the world position: Type UCS on the command line, and press ENTER.
-
Unlike a normal 3D polyline, the elevation must be controlled with the Elevation option of the Router command or the UCS position.
Slope
Specifies the known slope or drop per foot to the next point in degrees (positive or negative). Alternatively, use one of the options listed below to define the slope. This option does not take effect until the next point is selected. For example, select the Slope option and then select the next point of the 3D polyline for a change to the new position.
-
Meter
Defines the rise or drop in millimeters per meter.
-
Foot
Defines the rise or drop in inches per foot.
-
Drop
Defines the drop to the next point as a real number, such as 1'-8
-
Rise
Defines the rise to the next point as a real number, such as 2'-9.
-
Continuous
Turns constant sloping on or off.
Position
Starts the 3D polyline at an elevated position. This option does not take effect until the next point is selected. For example, select the Position option and then select the next point of the 3D polyline for a change to the new position.
-
Nominal
Determine the present size used by the BOP or TOP option.
-
Size
Determines the present size used by the BOP or TOP option.
-
BOP
Draws the 3D polyline one-half the present set size upward.
-
TOP
Draws the 3D polyline one-half the present set size downward.
-
Centerline
Default when starting this routine. You can change to the bottom of pipe BOP option, then change back with this option.
Reference
Starts the line at a given distance from a reference point. After you provide this reference point, you must provide relative/polar coordinates with an @ location.
Elevation
Changes the elevation in conjunction with the present UCS coordinate system. The elevation change can be expressed using a positive or a negative number.
-
World
Specifies the elevation in the world coordinate system.
-
Pick
Establishes the working elevation based on a point selected in the drawing. You can use object snap, if necessary.
Undo
Removes the last 3D polyline segment, and prompts you to enter the next point.
Specify next point
Selects the next point along the 3D polyline segment. Press ENTER to end the selection.
