Spec-driven pipeline routing is available to piping designers who work in large industrial environments. The piping specification database is the architecture that supports the spec-driven functions such as spec-driven routing or spec-driven fitting insertion. This database must be in place before you can use spec-driven pipeline routing or any of the other spec-driven functions.

Spec-driven pipeline routing gives you the ability to access and route only those pipelines that have been set up previously in the spec-driven database.
