Description
The ROUTE command begins the procedure of finding logical routes for all of the branches included in the routing list. Each time a successful route has been found, a message is output stating the total Pipe length and the number of Elbows used. During the routing process, Elbows are selected automatically from the Pipe Specification by default. Bends may be selected in preference to Elbows by specifying this option as part of the ROUTE command.

ROUTE /PIPES |
All of the Branches belonging to /PIPES will be routed. |
|
ROUTE WITH BENDS /PIPES |
All of the branches belonging to /PIPES will be routed using Bends in preference to Elbows. |
