I was hoping to use my old catalogs from BS3 in
BS4 until a new catalog can be prepared using the BS4 generic catalog.
The problem I'm having is that BS4 will not recognize the Grooved connector
when I try to use grooved pipe. Is the Grooved connector name changed
somehow that BS4 doesn't recognize it? Is there something I can
change in the catalog to make it work?

Can anyone from Autodesk help out about this
problem? It should be an easy enough fix, how can I get my grooved
connection from ABS3 piping to work in Plumbing 3D? Is there a way to
add this connection type to the plumbing catalog? Is it just an
XML edit or some other more hidden process?
Thanks,
Mike

Hakan,
I posted a picture of the error message and
a small file of Acid fittings in the Autocad.customer-files area with the same
subject. If you put the Items in your piping folder then try to use
them, you will most likely get the same error I get.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I tested the parts that you posted under customer
files...
There is one vital part missing - the connector.
Don't know if you have it on your computer and just missed to attached it to
the file, but if I defined the connector, your parts worked on my
computer.
Attaching a zip file to the posting in customer
files.
