Insert; Advanced; Pipe?

[fishman]

Hi all,


I want to show some pipe routing in an assembly. I don't know how to use Pro/Piping. In standard modeling mode of WF 2.0, what is the function ofinsert, advanced, pipe?


I have to redo some piping and the previous designer did his routing using protrusions intersected with swept protrusions along curves. There has to be an easier way.


Thanks,


Ben

keep in mind you need pro-piping for this tutorial plus there's other ways tho do piping like my favorite by offset point wether if you insertthem on the assemly or in the part it self, not to mention fexible,extended,etc. Well you will get to that as you learn the software.

<DIV>I went through the tutorial and my pipes only show as curves. In the piping pulldown, I tried doing Set Up; Set Display; Pipe Display; Solid...but my pipe still shows as a curve. Any advice? Thanks greatly.</DIV>

Which pro-e version you have? The thing is I don't get that problem. Maybe as a qiuck solution you could blank the curve layer or create a new one and then blank it. Or if you can, send me a PM with a zip file and I'll take a look at it.
