round take off from the square duct

[tompilzys]

Hello

Im trying to connect a round duct to the side of square duct. I had no problem with that in MEP2012, now in 2013 it seems to be a problem. In the attached file you can see what i mean - the exclamation mark that shows up after connection is made. I guess it is because the round duct is slip join, and square duct is generic flange, but this is the way it should be.

Anyone maybe has an idea to make this kind of connection in an easy way?

regards

Hi,

maybe by using the middle connector on the square duct and after you change the duct class.

I'm on Autocad MEP 2013 and i try to do the same like i see on your picture and i have no problem.

When you put your mouse on the exclamation mark, what is the message error ?

I am able to connect a Generic Slip Joint round duct to a flanged joint rectangular joint without any issues.  Have you checked that the system definitions that you are using are part of the same system group?  If they are part of different system groups then they will not connect properly.

I tried a few solutions, nothing helped. I deleted that part of ducts and redrawed it. And then it was ok. So everywhere where i needed to make some changes i redrawed the parts. I guess it is problem of different versions. In other drawings i dont have this problem, so nevermind. It must something about that specific drawing.
