Flexible Hose Route

In the following video, watch how I create a new route, choosing the start and end points of the flexible hose route. Once this route has been created, I can then add Nodes and constrain or Redefine those nodes to the work points previously created. Use either the spacebar or Right Mouse Button Menu and choose Select other Direction to specify the route direction at each node.
As the hose is controlled by the work points, when the assembly flexes the hose will follow the position of those work points.

Thank you for this. I was hoping that the hose would adapt for every iteration of the drive function, possible?

Very visually disappointing. In Solidworks you can even add inertia to the hose.

The real question is, "does the hose retain its length as the assembly changes position?"

[@fernandomendoza7605]

Yes, it does has the option to lock the hose length in inventor.
