The rules-based routing tools in Inventor Routed Systems Suite select the appropriate fittings and help enable pipe runs to comply with design rules for minimum and maximum length, round-off increments, and bend radius.

Inventor Routed Systems Suite 2009 can simplify the design of pipe runs—or spools—to fit in complex assemblies or tight spaces. Automatically routed segments respect predefined routing styles to present users with alternative pipe routes that comply with routing rules such as minimum or maximum length criteria and bend radius.
