C3D 2014 Pressure pipe issues

[egroskopfs]

We are trying to use Pressure Pipes  2014 in a production environment and have some questions\issues.

1) When using data shortcuts, the pipe profile is different from the source profile ie when generated from a surface that has a vertical curve, the DS profile is not smooth but is shown as a straight line.

2) We cannot change the style of a fitting or appurt in profile as we can in plan

3) The PP network is not available as a data source when attempting to use the pipe data in a band (as is a gravity network)

4) We cannot control the location of the leader start point when labeling fittings, pipes in plan - also, same 2014 drawing it is different in V2013

Any resolution of these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Is there a fix for this yet?

After doing a search for issue number one in the list it seems that quite a few people have been experiencing the same issue as I, for a while now, at least a year.  Is there a fix to this other than promoting the shortcut?  Could someone help?  Autodesk are you working on fixing this?  Feedback is appreciated.

Due to software limitations, you have to run the CURVEPIPEINPV command in the reference drawing also. It works fine. See the link below.
