To Check for Design Rule Violations
1. Click Pipe Check Rule. The Design Rules Check dialog box opens.
* 
The Design Rules Check dialog box opens only when an active assembly contains a pipeline for which you can check design rules.
If you are working with a piping assembly that is created using versions of Pro/ENGINEER earlier than Wildfire, set the piping_wildfire_convert configuration option.
2. Under Setup, select one or more of the following design rules to check.
Missing Fitting—Checks for missed fittings and gaskets. Under Design Rules Tree, click a missed fitting type to display the violation information under Violation Details.
Segment Violations—Checks for violations in segment length. Under Design Rules Tree, click a segment violation type to display the violation information under Violation Details.

Flow Violations—Checks for conflicts in the flow direction. Under Design Rules Tree, click Flow Violations to display the name of the datum point feature at the location of flow conflict under Violation Details.
End Type Compatibility—Checks for conflicts in the end type for two mated fittings. Under Design Rules Tree, click End Type Compatibility to display the first end type and rating and the second end type and rating under Violation Details.

The number of violations are displayed in parentheses adjacent to the appropriate tree node under Design Rules Tree.

If you do not want to check for any of the previous design rule violations, clear the appropriate design rule from the Setup list.
