Pipe Graphical Edit Not Functioning

[Anonymous]

I have a file related problem with pipes as there is only one of our drawings that will not edit a pipe run graphically. We can edit it by data but that is archaic and slow.

When I choose to edit any run in this file graphically it asks for which run and when it is chosen the flow direction and node glyphs appear and the command immediately exits without errors.

We are using LDD 2007 SP2A. The same thing happens on any machine but only in this file.

Any clues?

I would suggest that you check another Project's Pipe Run 1st dmanning, so
that you'll "know" if this malady is more widespread than you initially
supposed?

Or have you already determined that, as of now?

I checked other drawings and they are fine. I sent the file to another CAD tech and he surmised that the database was corrupted, he tried to export it using LandXML and taking it to Civil 3d and then re-exporting it but Civil 3D would receive a fatal error. Basically we've given up on fixing this file. I chalk it up to one of our users insisting on staying in LDD 2005 when the rest are on 2007 and 2008 shortly. I found out he has experienced this before. Thanks for the help.

How are you "choosing" the pipe run. I have had the exact same symptoms in 2007 SP2A with a single file and I usually right click at the pick box and select my run from the library. On one single run though, if I wanted to edit graphically, I had to import the run in plan view and pick it graphically and then it worked. I never did get the library to come up on that one run but it hasn't happened again either.
