Edit Routing Path/Objects

[Raddy13]

I'm working on a hose routing project and since we're early in the design, the endpoints of the hoses and tubes are changing locations frequently. I've been using the Mechanical Routing application by setting up my datum points, creating a linear path through the points, and then assigning corners. But this is the first time I've used the Routing app and I can't figure out how to edit the path once I've created it. I would like to be able to make the routing control points associative to the datum points so I can just move the datum points to the new locations and the routing path moves with them, but if that's not possible, is there a way to edit an existing routing path/control point without deleting the old one and starting over?

EDIT: Is it also possible to edit the radius of a corner once it's been assigned?

My employer supplies exhaust components and we don't bother with the Routing application; we just use the Tube command (since the majority of our pipes are circular). We draw non-associative lines for the routing path (centerlines) and then use the Tube command with OD input, add any other features to the pipe (flats, bosses, etc.) then shell the wall thickness. If we need to change the routing, we edit the curves. Pretty simple, really. There might be some failures that require cleanup but we never have to delete and recreate unless the model was initially poorly created.
