Displays only when you are actively routing a pipe run and you click the Properties option on the ribbon bar.

Minimum Straight Length

Displays the minimum allowed length of straight pipe.

Straight Option

Select the option code associated with the pipe that you want to use while routing. Only those option codes defined in the controlling piping specification appear.

Turn Option

Select the option code associated with the turn component that you want to use while routing. Only those option codes defined in the controlling piping specification and shared by all the short codes that can be placed automatically while routing appear. Only the options available for all short codes available during routing are listed. If the pipe spec writer only added a second choice for 90ยบ direction change, then route would not display it in the drop-down list.

Branch Type

Select the option code for the branch type that you want to use while routing.

Automatic Angle Lock On

Specifies if the Angle lock should automatically lock when you type a new angle value into the Angle box.

Bend Radius Multiplier

Specify the bend radius multiplier for bends. This overrides the default bend radius multiplier defined in the piping specification. This field is not available unless the Pipe Bend Radius By User Option is set to Pipe Bend Radius By User Is Enabled in the Catalog task. You can find the option in Catalog under the Piping > Piping Specification > Model Options node in the tree view.

Remember Working Plane

Allows you to choose whether the software remembers the last used working plane. False clears the last selected plane so that you must reset the plane each time that you begin routing. True remembers the last used working plane. The software then remembers your selection and locks each route onto the plane. The default option is False.

When Remember Working Plane is set to False, the default plane option for the Route Pipe Command routepipe is No Plane. Each time that you click a routing command, the system clears the last selected Plane option. You must reset the plane option each time that you begin a route.

However, you can set the default behavior to remember the last used working plane by setting Remember Working Plane to True. The software then locks the route onto the plane that you are using and remembers your selection within that session only.

This option is available when you are routing duct, piping, cableways, and conduits. Setting this option to True when you are in any of these tasks results in an automatic True setting for all tasks. Likewise, setting this option to False when you are in any of these tasks results in an automatic False setting for all tasks.
