    Changing nodes on existing pipe spec blocks

    I was wondering i there is a way to change the nodes/ports on existing parts in catalogs in the spec editor.

    I've run into a problem where one of the nodes/ports is in the middle of the part and won't connect properly when trying to route.

     

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

    Chris

    In the Spec and Catalog Editor, click on the top right where the tab says "Catalog Editor" and then load the catalog that the part has come from.

    Sorry I meant, is there a way where you can change the port location on the model/block? One of my ports is in the middle of my part when I set the parameters and when I try to connect it to something it connects improperly.
