Run

<New/Continue Run> extends an existing conduit run if you select the end feature of the conduit run. If a run is continued, all runs associated with the parent system display in the list. If you do not select an end feature, the New Conduit Run dialog displays to create a conduit run.

<Select Graphically> allows you to select an existing run in a graphic view, or the Workspace Explorer.

More displays the Select Conduit dialog. Use this option to select a conduit run that is associated with a different conduit system.
