Pipe Segments most be greater then 5mm?

I get the message "Minimum pipe length most be greater then or equal to 5" when trying to set it to 0.

Is there any way to set this to 0 ?

Realy need to have the option to use bend in bend with no segments.

regards
Joakim

What are the two end conditions of the bends?

Thx for the reply but can you bee more specific on what information you want,

By end condition you mean if its a BW FL PL and so on?

If so it is BW. 

There is no problem roting a pipe with bends but if you need to do a 180degres turn and only use 2 bends connected to each other witout a 5mm pipe segment betwin them the problem comes.

I also for an exampel whant to do a side cast with 2 bend there still need to be a 5 mm minimum segment, This is what i dont want. 

Look at IMG for more info. The marked pipesegment betwin the bends is what i want to remove and have the 2 bends connected directly to each other.

To do this: delete the pipe segment and insert the another bend from tool palete of your spec (connecting with the first bend directly)

Thx for the help.

But this is hard to do if you have a specific distans you need to go sideways. Then you need to know the degrees of the bend before roting the bend.

If im for an exampel use line to Pipe i can specify the exact lokation of the center of the bends, but when i use line to pipe command and the distans is shorter then the Bend radius then Plant 3d dont understand to put bend to bend direcly. Insted it dissconnect the pipes like shown in the new IMG, maby this is another topic togh.

Can you post the dimensions of the centrelines, or even post the model? I'd like to have a look at this and give a workaround if possible.

Hello and thx for looking in to my problem.

Here is a drawing on the pipe in the earlyer IMG.

The dimention of the pipe in this exampel is DN200.

And if possible can you look in to how to tell autocad to not do a pipe segment automaticly betwin bends. I need this to be 0 not a minimum of 5mm.

Hi Guys,

 

Please refer to the following post which details how to set the minimum pipe length to 0.
