The Place Component dialog box opens.

Enable Autofitting option from Autofitting tab and select desired Corner option.

Pick a point in the drawing, or specify the coordinates in the AccuDraw window. An outline of the component displays.

Pick another point in the drawing or enter the coordinates in the AccuDraw window to draw the pipe.
