Introduction to SOLIDWORKS Pipe Routing
SOLIDWORKS Premium’s routing tools enable quick and accurate layout of pipes, tubes, ducts, and electrical cabling. Starting with drag-and-drop fittings, users can define route sizes and use the auto-route tool to connect pipelines efficiently. The system supports collision avoidance, snapping components into place, and generating isometric drawings with dimensions, balloons, and bills of materials. Complex systems can be routed along building geometry, split into spools for manufacturing, and exported as PCF files. A routing library manager ensures standardisation and specification compliance. These tools streamline design changes and simplify creating detailed, accurate pipework layouts.
