Pressure Pipes Compass

[ToddRogers-WPM]

I have tried a thousand different scenarios with the new pressure pipes.  When I create a new parts list and try to draw a water line, the compass only gives me 3 angles.  This is using the "out of the box" templates.  How do you fix this?  Anyone?  Autodesk?

Make sure to add elbows for the change in direction. The Compass is showing allowable deflection. I didn't get it to change until I added 2 with different angles.

I have all sizes and bends in my parts list and it still doesn't work...

I notice the pipe is PVC, but the bends are Ductile Iron. I'm guessing you can't mix materials.

All I did was rename it in the catalog editor...maybe that is it, not sure.  i will try it out and let you know.

That was it.  Thanks Jeff.
