    Cool Tube & Pipe Wishes

    When routing a pipe line, at corners we are given the ability to pre-rotate the next leg by a defined angle using the arrow tools on the router. It would be nice if we could easily change this ange later when editing the route... perhaps a "Show Dimensions" option. As it is now, I have to add a work plane, and then include it as a reference in my route, to change the angles. Sometimes angles need to be tweaked on the fly with odd pipe routes.

    More piping wishes to follow.....

    Default Re: Tube & Pipe Wishes

    Here is another good one! Why is there no stud feature in bolted connection? All of our flanges use studs, washers and nuts.... and we're not alone in the industry. What I would love to see is a bolted connection rule generator built into the Tube & Pipe styles editor. That would make it so whenever a flanged connection is created in Tube & Pipe, the appropriate studs, (or bolts) washers and nuts are automatically inserted, or at the very least the Bolted Connection wizard would open. But first... ADD STUDS!

    Manually inserting these things,... even with auto-drop,... is way too time consuming!
