abishop Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I am trying to figure out the best way to create a tube routing for a pneu hose going from tube fitting to tube fitting. Any suggestions? Thanks AndyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Inventor Routed Systems or start new part in context of assembly and create 2D or 3D spline. then sweep. Attach your assembly here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abishop Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 So, create component? I have 2 fittings 10 ft apart on different planes pointing diff directions. I create circle on the one fitting, then create spline in same sketch? I can not attach my assy, due to Military info. Sorry.

abishop Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 how do you keep your spline where you want it? Do i create a bunch of planes or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abishop Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 do i need to creat another circle on the other fitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 What version of Inventor do you have? 2012? 2011? 2010? Inventor Professional Inventor Routed Systems? More information is needed. Sounds like you want to do it the hard way. Create Component in the assembly. Project Geometry the centerpoint of a connector at start. Project Geometry the centerpoint of a connector at end. Create 2D or 3D spline from start to finish. Create workplane perp to spline (if doesn't already exist). Create 2D sketch circle. Sweep. If you change the positions of the start or end connector part the path should update as it is adaptive. (you might have to click update) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
