You can add coverings to any route. Coverings represent material such as insulation or split sleeves placed on routed items to protect them. You can:
Add the covering during or after route creation.
Display the covering in assemblies, drawings views, and Bills of Materials.
For a covering material to be available for selection, you must first define it in the Materials Editor PropertyManager or in an XML file that you create.
To add a covering to a route:
Specify the covering under Covering in the Route Properties PropertyManager, either:
While creating the route.
- or -
While editing an existing
route, by clicking Add Covering
(Routing Tools toolbar).
To add a covering to only a portion of a
route, use Split
Route to split the route.
