    The document discusses SolidWorks Routing, which allows the creation of pipe and tube routes between components in a subassembly. Key points covered include customizing a routing template, adding parts to the Routing Library, and creating route paths automatically or manually. Creating a drawing for the assembly that includes a bill of materials, pipe length information, and auto balloons is also summarized.

    Routing - Pipes and Tubes

    With SolidWorks Routing, you can create a special type of subassembly that builds a path of
    pipes, tubes, or electrical cables between components. SolidWorks Routing is available with
    SolidWorks Office Premium.
    In the Pipe and Tube Routes lesson, you create the pipe and tube routes shown below. The
    lesson includes:
    Customizing a routing template
    Adding parts to the Routing Library
    Creating route paths by various automatic and manual methods

    In the Route Drawings lesson, you create a drawing for the above assembly. The drawing
    includes:
    A bill of materials
    Pipe length information
    Auto balloons

    With SolidWorks Routing, you can create a special type of subassembly that builds a path of
    pipes or tubes between components

    A route subassembly is always a component of a top-level assembly. When you insert certain
    components into an assembly, a route subassembly is created automatically.
    You model the route by creating a 3D sketch of the centerline of the route path. The software
    generates the pipe or tube along the centerline.
    To begin, activate the SolidWorks Routing add-in.
    1. Click Tools, Add-Ins.
    2. In the Active Add-ins column, select SolidWorks Routing to activate it for this session.
    In addition, you can select it in the Start Up column to automatically activate
    Routing every time you start the SolidWorks application. This is useful if you work with
    Routing often.
    3. Click OK.
    SolidWorks Routing is added in.
    You can find additional information about SolidWorks Routing in the SolidWorks Help.
    Click Help, SolidWorks Help. On the Contents tab, expand SolidWorks Routing.
    After you add in SolidWorks Routing, the software generates a default routing template, which
    uses the same settings as the standard assembly template, but also contains special routing-
    related model data. You cannot access the routing-related model data.
    In this tutorial, you copy the default routing template and create a custom routing template. You
    must make sure hidden files and folders are visible.
    1. In Windows Explorer, click Tools, Folder Options.
    2. On the View tab, under Advanced settings, make sure Show hidden files and folders is
    selected.
    3. Click OK.
    Now determine the default template location.
    1. From the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > SolidWorks version >
    SolidWorks Tools > SolidWorks version Routing Library Manager . The Routing
    Library Manager appears.
    2. Select the File Locations and Settings tab.
    The default template location is listed next to Routing Template. The path is typically
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolidWorks\SolidWorks
    version\templates or C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks version\templates,
    depending on your operating system.
    3. Do not exit the Routing Library Manager.
    Now browse to the template.
    1. In Windows Explorer, browse to your default template location.
    The default routing template, routeAssembly.asmdot, appears in the folder.
    What if the routing template does not appear in the folder?
    2. Close Windows Explorer.
