Style Manager showing the custom duct fittings created in the current drawing
NOTE
Custom fittings cannot be added to a part catalog. If you create a custom fitting to be used multiple times,
you can share custom fittings between drawings using the copy and paste functionality.
Before you create a new custom fitting, you need to draw the centerline of the fitting you want to create.
Typically, the centerline is drawn connecting ductwork and can be any combination of AutoCAD lines, arcs,
or polylines.
Defining a custom fitting polyline centerline
To create a custom fitting
1
Draw the centerlines of the new custom fitting with lines, polylines, or arcs.
NOTE
If you draw linework from endpoints of an existing duct, the shape and size of the duct is
inherited by the end segment of the fitting that you create.
