Piping AutoRouting via “AutoPath” or “Connect to.." options.

Currently we don’t have such functionality in OP compared to what we have available in AutoPLANT Modeler.

In some cases, it would be very helpful and more productive to automatically finish the pipe routing with possible alternative routing options in an automated way by selecting start and ending connection ports, instead of clicking multiple times using accudraw shortcuts to finally finish the routing.

A “Connect To…” option will be very helpful during pipe routing when we are still a few clicks and/or accudraw actions from the connecting port. This option should allow us to finish the pipe routing by selecting the connection port to connect to.

Here we can have options to finish routing using standard pipe spec elbows or in a second option (to enable) finish the routing with a direct or shortest (skewed direction) pipe routing connecting using trimmed elbows.

See the three attached videos explaining and showing how we use these options in AutoPLANT.
