Rigid Tube Routing
Quickly create rigid tubes with superior control 
over the shape, bend angles, and radii. Create 
rigid tubes with an arbitrary number of bends and 
variable custom bend angles and radii. The radius 
and rotation handles offer greater control over the 
shape of rigid tubes.
 Tube and Pipe Styles
Increase the quality and manufacturability of de-
signs by helping to ensure that tube and pipe runs 
automatically adhere to preset design standards. 
Create tube and pipe styles to support the use of 
threaded, welded, and flanged connections. Styles 
define the fittings to be used for both automatic 
and manual routing, and enforce design rules, 
including minimum segment lengths and minimum 
bend radii, as well as the maximum length be-
tween couplings.
 Hygienic Pipe Runs
Design process lines that comply with sterility and 
hygiene standards required for process equip-
ment in the pharmaceutical, food, and personal 
care industries. Incorporate the correct slope into 
the pipe route, including use of drainable angle 
fittings that comply with the American Society 
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) bioprocessing 
equipment where needed.
Creating Runs
Automatically populate piping routes with real 
parts that adhere to manufacturing standards. The 
Populate Route tool turns tube, pipe, and hose 
routes into physical pipe runs, automatically plac-
ing fittings, pipe segments, rigid tubes, and hoses 
as needed. Standard Inventor parts are created 
during this process to make it easy to perform 
mass property calculations and interference 
checks. In addition, couplings are automatically 
placed when pipes reach their maximum length, 
and users can specify length cutoff increments.
Tube and Pipe Documentation
Create manufacturing deliverables without 
redrawing—reducing errors and associated costs. 
Fully associative documentation for tube and pipe 
runs provides assembly drawings that update 
whenever a change is made to the 3D design. 
ISOGEN PCF file output creates isometric piping 
drawings in third-party ISOGEN software such 
as Alias ISOGEN, and tubing bend tables in ASCII 
format provide the information required by tube 
bending machines.
