Attached is a screen shot of an assembly I'm working on.  I'm mostly creating all parts in the assembly (using "Insert/component/new part").

It's working great, but the piping is slowing me down.... Big time.

I'm pretty much creating the piping the same way as the rest of the parts, and copying with mates (when I can).

My questions:

Is there a quicker way to create piping (maybe using sweeps or some other method)?

Is there a tutorial on piping you can recommend?
