# Pipe Line Point
A route point is a point within a piping component, used to determine how the component is positioned on the 3D route sketch.
How to use：
Create a new part, and after completing the sketch, click on "Path - Connection Point."
Select the geometric elements to define the connection point's position.
Note：Please note the concepts of route points and connection points. Connection points are used to determine the connection locations of piping, while route points are used to determine how the piping component is positioned on the 3D route sketch. The following elements can be picked for route point positions: origin, sketch point, endpoint of an edge/sketch line, circular edge, or circular plane.
