When placing components on a pipe, the software will use the divisor point location as the placement point if the divisor point glyph is displayed when you select the pipe. This functionality allows you to place a component at the mid-point of a pipe for example. You can set the number of divisor points on the Tools > Options > SmartSketch3D tab.
