Piping Inserting Wring Size Fitting

I am having trouble in a single drawing with the cast copper reducing coupling.  Some of the sizes are not comming in correctly.  Example going from a 1-1/4" pipe to a 3/4" pipe is inserting a 2"x1" reducing fitting.  Trying to change the fitting manually, or inserting the fitting has no effect, it still keeps it as 2"x1".  This is not happening in any other drawings, and its not for every size, some work correctly, and it is only on the copper reducers.  Any ideas on how to fix this will be much appreciated.

Your best bet would be to delete all of the fittings that are not correct and then run the BLDSYSPURGE command.  If someone has tampered with the drawing and changed the sizes for that fitting then when you try to insert the fitting from the catalog, it will use the fittings that are already in the drawing.  Another option would be to use the REDEFINEFROMCATALOG command.  Theoretically, this should take all of your parts in the drawing and replace them with the parts that have the same name from your catalog. 

 

If none of that works, then delete all of the offending parts and copy/paste what you have left into a new drawing.  If that doesnt work, then I am out of ideas.

 

Hope this helps, good luck!
